Transparent Financial Management — Instant Settlement, Zero Variance
Leave the complex accounting formulas of your beauty salon to Zimo. Automatic invoice generation with unique IDs, split payments (cash + card + points), real-time commission calculations based on defined percentages, intelligent tip distribution, and shift closing with auto-discrepancy detection. Everything is transparent, precise, and calculated in real time.
Forget Your Salon's Financial Challenges Forever
One of the biggest concerns for beauty salon managers is accurate financial transaction management. Calculating staff shares based on complex percentages, properly distributing tips, deducting consumable material costs, managing advances, and closing daily accounts. Small mistakes in this area can lead to staff dissatisfaction, serious disputes, and financial losses. Zimo fully automates your financial processes, giving your business 100% transparency.
From Invoice to Final Settlement — Step by Step
Immediately after the service is completed, an invoice with a unique ID is issued. Line items include service, discount, tax (configurable), tip, and payments. Statuses: Draft → Pending Payment → Paid → Refunded.
Clients can pay using multiple methods: part cash, part card, the rest with loyalty points. RRN, terminal number, and last 4 card digits are automatically recorded. All payments are linked to the active cash register shift.
Discounts can be percentage-based or fixed amounts. Within each invoice, you specify which discount to apply. Simple and straightforward.
Three distribution methods: individual (to one staff member), percentage-based (across multiple staff with remainder algorithm), or pool (shared fund). Payment options: cash, card, or included in the invoice.
Commission is calculated based on the percentage defined in the staff-to-branch assignment. Commission basis: item amount - material cost - discount share. Revenue is recognized after the invoice is fully paid.
All cash payments are linked to the active shift. At shift close, Zimo calculates the expected balance and compares it with the actual amount — discrepancies are flagged immediately. All events are recorded in the cash register report.
Real Scenario: Weekend Rush Settlement
Friday night, the salon is packed. A client, after a keratin treatment, wants to pay $120 as $60 cash and $60 card, plus leave a $10 tip for the stylist. On the settlement screen, the operator enters the cash amount in the active shift, enters the card details with terminal info, records the tip — all on one page in a few clicks. The invoice is issued with a unique ID. The cash register and staff wallet are updated automatically. At the end of the night, the manager closes the shift and confirms zero variance.
