Work with workspaces
A workspace is one business in Saloon. How to switch between workspaces, create a new business, transfer ownership or leave a salon.
Every business in Saloon is a workspace of its own, with its own clients, team, calendar and settings. With one account you work in several workspaces: your own salon, and salons that invited you as a team member. If one business has several salons, those are locations within one workspace.
Switch workspace
- Click your salon's name at the bottom of the menu. On your phone, tap Menu and then Workspace.
- Choose the workspace you want to go to. Saloon opens that salon's dashboard.
You can also switch from your account menu: choose Workspaces and click Switch next to the salon. When something comes in at another salon, you see it under the bell at In your other salons, with a button to switch.
Create a new business
- Click your salon's name at the bottom of the menu and choose Add workspace. Or choose Workspaces in your account menu and click Add.
- Answer the Account setup questions for the new business: name, category, team size, address and opening hours.
- On the last screen, click Get started. You are now working in the new workspace.
Manage your workspace
Choose Workspaces in your account menu and click Manage next to a workspace. There you find:
- Notifications: what you are notified about in this workspace.
- Workspace PIN code: your own PIN code for this salon, which you replace with Reset PIN code. You only see this block in the workspace you are working in now.
- Actions: Leave workspace if you are a team member. If you are the owner and working in this workspace right now, you find Transfer workspace ownership and Close workspace here.
Transfer ownership
If the salon should carry on without you, transfer ownership. Under Actions › Transfer workspace ownership, choose a team member with an account of their own and click Transfer. That person becomes the owner; you stay in the workspace as a team member. As the owner you cannot leave a workspace: transfer ownership first, or close the workspace.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a workspace and a location?
A workspace is a business with its own clients, team and settings. Locations are the salons within that business: they share clients, services and team, and each has its own address, opening hours and receipt numbering.
Can I sync my Saloon calendar with Google Calendar?
Not yet; that is planned.
I left a workspace. Can I go back?
Yes, if the owner invites you again.
Why don't I see the button to transfer ownership under Manage?
You only see it as the owner, in the workspace you are working in at that moment. Switch to that workspace first.
