For spas & salons
The booking, the membership, the retail at checkout, and the rebook before they walk out usually take three tools that never share a customer. Root runs all of it on one guest record, so the front desk stops re-typing and nobody falls through the gaps.
Provider scheduling
A facial needs the esthetician, a treatment room, and the steamer free at the same hour. Root holds all three on a single appointment, so the desk never promises a stylist or a chair you don't have.
Health forms, allergy notes, and signed waivers ride on the guest, pulled up the moment a service is booked and flagged when one is missing.
Service rates, retail splits, and tips settle as each ticket closes, then hand off by pay period with nothing to rebuild by hand.
Memberships and packages
Sell a six-massage package or a monthly facial plan, and Root counts down the remaining sessions, bills the card on schedule, and books the recurring revenue to the ledger as each visit is used.
Retention
Loyalty and the rebook live at the chair, not in a follow-up call three weeks later. One tap drops the next visit on the right provider's calendar and confirms it by text while the glow is still fresh.
What a guest earns on a massage, a color, or retail rolls into one balance and one tier, redeemable at the desk on their next visit.
The next visit drops onto the provider the guest already sees, at the interval their service calls for, with a text to confirm before they leave the chair.
The client record
Preferred provider, the color formula, last service, retail they took home, and the product they hated all sit on one profile. Anyone at the desk picks up exactly where the last visit left off, and the retail an esthetician recommends lands on the same ticket as the service.
