BookSteam

Review:

BookSteam was created as an all-encompassing business scheduling software that can be adapted for a range of businesses. This flexibility makes it a good choice for a business wanting to diversify but restrictive if you are looking for a niche product in a specific sector.

For salons, BookSteam is missing key features such as in-store POS, staff management, and payroll processing but does offer multiple location management, unlimited bookings, and the option to create a personalized booking page.

Pros:

• BookSteam is designed for a range of businesses, from salons to event planners and more.
• Choose a plan to suit your budget and number of locations.
• There is a BookSteam mobile app for quick and easy bookings.
• Create and schedule workshops and courses whenever you need.
• Easily process credit card payments online with Stripe, Square, or Paypal.
• Manage inventory by brand or vendor.
• The software includes video scheduling for webinars or online meetings with clients.
• Incorporate client reviews to boost your business profile.
• Keep track of your financials with business analytics and client database management.
• Sync your booking calendar with Google, Apple, or Microsoft.

Cons:

• The software does not include staff management or payroll.
• BookSteam does not offer telephonic support.
• While online payments can be made, the software does not support in-store point of sale (POS).
