Role-Based Admin

Owners see margin and reporting. Consultants see client history. Cashiers see checkout. Each role gets exactly the view their job needs.

Core
๐Ÿ’ณ

Front Desk POS

Checkout, retail add-ons, and daily takings in the same dashboard as your bookings โ€” no separate till system to reconcile.

New
๐Ÿ“ฑ

Installable at Reception

Works as an app on the tablet at the front desk โ€” no dedicated POS hardware, no extra login for the team.


Who it's for

Built for the business behind the chair.

Whatever you call your business, the same problem shows up everywhere: a full calendar doesn't always mean a profitable one. Coterie shows you which is true.

โœ‚๏ธ

Hair salons & barbershops

Multi-chair scheduling and a true cost breakdown for every cut, colour, and treatment on the menu.

๐Ÿ’†

Spas & beauty studios

Manage longer appointment slots, retail add-ons, and client preferences across multiple treatment rooms.

๐Ÿ’…

Nail salons

Fast checkout and simple multi-staff booking for high-volume, walk-in-friendly schedules.

๐Ÿฌ

Multi-location chains

Consistent cost and margin reporting across every site, with role-based dashboards for owners and location managers.

๐Ÿ’‰

Med spas & aesthetics clinics

Track product-heavy services accurately, where the real cost of an injectable or peel is easy to underprice.

๐ŸŽ“

Beauty schools & training academies

Run a real booking and POS system for student-performed services while keeping the books straight.


Cost Intelligence Engine

Stop pricing by feel.

Most salons set prices by copying a competitor's menu or going with a number that feels right. Coterie allocates rent, product, and labor across every service, so the price on your menu matches the real cost behind it.

Most salons price by feel. Coterie shows the real split โ€” so a fully booked day doesn't quietly become a break-even one.
