We have added support for multiple tills in Phorest 10 so that salons using multiple tills, can now also use the Phorest 10 Sales and Cash Up screens and see Current Till Balance, Petty Cash and Till Float for their selected till.
This also means salons with multiple tills that want to start using Phorest Tips are now enabled to do so.
For new salons onboarding to Phorest, till can now be easily set up within the purchase screen:

Your Brands

With this improvement, we are making it much easier to add products by bringing the brands that are in use within the salon right to the top of the list. No more digging around within the global Phorest catalog to find your brand.

Pro tip: If you have duplicate brands in your inventory, now is the time to consolidate those by re-assigning each product to the same brand. Moving forward, duplicate brands will no longer be mistakenly created making Ordering and Reporting much more consistent.

Services CSV Export

We have added a Services CSV export to the bottom of the Services screen. This is available to staff members who have the 'create / edit services' permission level. Previously, this export was only available through searching services within the Packages section (where the user had create / edit packages permission), so we are bringing it here to make it much more easily accessible.
Please note this export is available on branch level only, so for multi-branch users with full chain access, please use the Browser version of Phorest to access this export in Manager > Services.

  • Add items to an appointment in the future
  • Apply a discount to an appointment in the future
  • Add products, vouchers or courses from any device and checkout from any device
  • When you create a new basket from the purchase screen, we automatically pull in any appointments booked for that day
  • If you are checking a client out at reception and something gets added from another computer or phone, we will automatically update the basket in real time.
You can now select multiple products at the same time to add to the basket. Just select the items in question and click add.
This also works for deducting professional stock/inventory too.
