Running a salon with multiple groomers means juggling schedules, preventing conflicts, and keeping everyone organized. GroomBoard's Salon plan gives you a multi-groomer calendar where you can see everyone's schedule side by side. Each groomer has their own availability, and the booking page automatically shows open slots across your team. No more whiteboard schedules or texting back and forth about who's available when.
Everyone's day, side by side.
One calendar, a column per groomer, the whole team's schedule in one look. It replaces the whiteboard, and more usefully it replaces the four texts asking who is free at two.
Each groomer keeps their own hours.
Working days, start and finish times, days off and breaks are set per groomer, not for the salon as a whole. Your booking page only offers a slot when the groomer who would take it is actually working.
