Everything the front desk needs
The whole business, one system
No more five separate apps for booking, checkout, texting and payroll. Everything works together.
Calendar and front desk
A calendar per staff member with drag-to-reschedule. Book several services with several staff in one go, and set weekly or monthly repeats for regulars.
Online booking
A booking page with your name on it. Clients pick a service, staff member and open time and get confirmed instantly. Installs on their phone like an app.
Check-in kiosk
Clients check in on the tablet with their phone number, earn points and go straight into the waitlist.
Waitlist and turns
See who is up next at a glance. Walk-ins are shared fairly and nobody argues about turns.
Checkout and card terminal
Press pay and the amount appears on the terminal. Clients choose a tip there and the result comes back to the ticket. Card, cash and gift card on one ticket.
Commission payroll
Pay calculated from commission rates, tips and deductions. No more spending Sunday adding up the book.
Staff app
Staff sign in with phone and PIN, see their schedule, book and move appointments, check their pay for the period and get notified about new bookings.
Owner app
Sales, bookings and who is working, any time on your phone. Own several locations? See them all in one place.
Reminders
Automatic confirmations and reminders by text, email and push notification. Fewer no-shows.
Loyalty and gift cards
Points added after every visit, a membership card on the client's phone, and gift cards sold and redeemed at the desk.
Reports and closing
Sales by day and by staff member, plus expenses. Close out the day's card batch in one tap.
Permissions and security
Owners, managers, cashiers and staff each see only their part. Refunds need a manager and important actions are logged.
A walk-in queue that is actually fair
One turn board the whole shop can see, updated with every client.
- Walk-ins who check in on the tablet join the waitlist automatically.
- See who is serving, who is next and who is on break.
- Turns are recorded with each ticket so you can review the day.
An app for every staff member
Staff handle their own schedule so the owner fields fewer calls.
- Sign in with phone number and PIN, no email needed.
- Day and week views: press and drag to move, tap an empty slot to book.
- Earnings, commission, tips and deductions for each pay period.
- Instant notifications for new, moved or cancelled bookings.
With you from opening time to payroll
Not a pile of separate tools. Kashela follows the order work actually happens in a day at your shop.
-
Before opening
Appointments ready to go
Clients book online by service and staff member, day or night. Confirmations and reminders go out by text and email automatically.
-
Client walks in
Check-in and fair turns
Clients check in on the front-desk tablet to earn points. Walk-ins join the waiting list, and the turn tracker shows who is up next. No more arguments.
-
At the front desk
Fast checkout, no retyping
Open a ticket, add services, press pay and the amount appears on the card terminal. Clients pick their tip on the device. Sell and redeem gift cards right at the desk.
-
Client heads home
Bring clients back
Points add up after every visit. Clients see their membership card on their phone and get texts inviting them back.
-
End of day, end of week
Close out, read reports, run payroll
Close the day's card batch in one tap. Revenue reports by day and by staff member. Pay is calculated from commission and tips, and staff see it on their own phone.
Payments tied to the ticket
Kashela connects to your card terminal through the payment gateway. The amount goes from the ticket to the terminal, and the result and tip come back to the ticket. No retyping amounts, no end-of-day mismatch.
- No new hardware. Most popular card terminals connect.
- Card numbers never touch Kashela. Card data stays in the terminal and the payment processor. Kashela only receives the result.
- Permissions built in. Refunds and voids need a manager, and every action is logged.

Frequently asked questions
Can I try it before signing up?
Yes. Open the live demo at demo.kashela.com, enter your name and industry and you get your own sample business for 48 hours, no card needed.
My card terminal is from another payment company. Will it work?
In most cases, yes. Send us your payment company and terminal model and we will confirm the same day.
Does Kashela store my clients' card numbers?
No. Card numbers and security codes stay in the card terminal and the payment processor. Kashela only receives the amount, tip, transaction ID and last 4 digits for the receipt.
Do I need to buy new equipment?
No. Kashela runs in the browser on the computers, tablets and phones you already have. A check-in tablet is optional.
What kind of business is Kashela for?
Kashela fits any business that books appointments and charges by service: nails, hair, barber, spa, skin care, massage, lashes and tattoo. There are plans for multi-staff salons and for independents.
Can you move my client list from my old software?
Yes. Send your client list (Excel or CSV) and we import it for free before you go live.
What if the internet goes down?
Your card terminal keeps taking cards. When you are back online, enter the tickets. Kashela runs on Cloudflare, so the system itself rarely goes down.
Is there a cancellation fee?
No. Pay monthly, cancel anytime, no termination fee.
Does it work for independents?
Yes. Plans for independents include a booking page, reminders, checkout and income reports, starting free with Solo Free. Sign up online and get approved within 1 business day.
