🖥️ Creating a Front Desk / Reception Account (Non-Bookable Staff)
Sometimes you need a salonMonster login for someone who doesn’t provide services but still helps manage the business. This could be:
-
A front desk / receptionist
-
A business manager
-
An accountant or bookkeeper
These accounts are easy to set up and do not count toward your total number of bookable staff , since they don’t take appointments.
✨ Here’s How
-
From the Menu ☰, select Settings .
-
Click Staff to view your staff list.
-
Select +New in the top right corner.
-
Enter a name for the account (e.g., “Front Desk” or the person’s name) and an email address for their login.
-
Turn off “Scheduling (has a calendar).”
This ensures the user can log in and help manage the account, but they cannot be booked for services .
- Decide on permissions:
Non-admin with limited access → Turn on:
Can view all clients of the salon
Can view all staff calendars (This allows the user to manage bookings without being an admin.)
- Click Save . salonMonster will send an email to the address you entered with their password.
ℹ️ What to Expect
-
When this account logs in, it will default to the All Staff calendar view — perfect for reception and front desk staff.
-
You can always adjust permissions later if their role changes.
✅ That’s it! You’ve created a non-bookable staff account for front desk, management, or support staff.
