Hi guys,

i'm opening a spray booth boutique and i'm looking for software advice. Since i don't need to manage Beds i'm wondering if you can recommend some good POS hardware/software.

I need to be able to do all transactions, track a small amount of inventory and i'd even like the program to have built in real time accounting and even web based appointment ability if possible.

any suggestions?

thx

Go to your nearest Staples or Office Depot. Chk out the Quicken series software. I was at Staples the other nite and had it in my hand..does everything a retail establishment needs..I believe you need the hardware; cash register,scanner etc..but thats obvious. I believe the cost was $165.00

You can still use a salon software program such as Helios. They don't seem to discriminate against real tanning and stain-tanning. They will track your sessions according to the sales codes you enter.

A spray salon only? Is the market really big enough to support a spray only salon? I can't imagine doing this. I have a sunless unit and I think it is awesome but I wouldn't do it as my only service. Have you considered putting in a few UV beds?
As for your question, any tanning software can run your booths - just put a timer on the booths and tie it into your computer/software system.

I do everything with Quickbooks.

The salon that I am purchasing has a program called Sunni or maybe it is spelled Sunny! This is used for their customer data base, pos, appointments, minutes, mail list..etc.

Has anyone heard of that?

Yes Susan it is "sun ease", I have used it for a while and it will do the basics. No bells and whistles though. It is a dos software system and is super easy to train new employee's. There is no way that it can handle all of your needs as there isn't really an accounting system with it and no appointment mode at all.
