Service Menu

Service Menu is where you define every service your salon or spa offers — its category, duration in minutes and price — which then feeds the Service dropdown everywhere else in the app (Appointments, Calendar, Prepaid Packages) and drives appointment auto-fill for duration and amount.

📍 Menu path: Saloon & Spa → Service Menu

👤 Who uses it: All roles with the Billing feature enabled

Overview

Every service has a required Name, a Category (Hair, Color, Spa, Nail, Wax, Facial, Other), a Duration in minutes and a Price. An Active toggle controls whether the service can be selected when booking new appointments.

Services are grouped and displayed by category, each group showing a count of how many services it contains; the category filter chips let you narrow the view to one category or ALL.

Selecting a Service anywhere else in the Saloon module (Appointments, Calendar, Prepaid Packages) looks it up by exact name match against this list to auto-fill duration/price — so renaming a service here does not retroactively relink already-booked appointments (which store their own copy of serviceName/duration/amount).

Before You Start

You must have the Billing feature enabled on your plan.

Step-by-Step Guide

1 Add a new service

Open Saloon & Spa → Service Menu and click "+ Add Service".
Enter Name (required), Duration in minutes and Price.
Choose a Category from Hair, Color, Spa, Nail, Wax, Facial or Other.
Leave Active checked so it is immediately bookable, then click Save.

2 Edit or retire a service

Click Edit on a service card to reopen the form pre-filled with its current values, adjust and Save.
Click the Active/Off pill to quickly toggle a service on or off without opening the edit form — turning it Off hides it from the Service dropdown on Appointments/Calendar/Prepaid Packages without deleting its history.
Click Delete to permanently remove a service after a confirmation prompt.

💡 Prefer toggling Off over Delete for a service you might reintroduce — deleting is permanent and, because past appointments store their own serviceName/duration/amount copy rather than a live reference, deleting a service does not affect historical appointment records either way.

3 Filter by category

Use the category chips (All / Hair / Color / Spa / Nail / Wax / Facial / Other) above the grouped list to narrow to one category at a time.

Every Field & Button, Explained

Field / Button	What it does
`Name`	Required. Shown throughout Saloon & Spa wherever the service is referenced (Appointments, Calendar, Prepaid Packages).
`Category`	One of Hair, Color, Spa, Nail, Wax, Facial or Other; used purely for grouping/filtering on this page.
`Duration (min)`	Default appointment length for this service; auto-fills Appointments/Calendar booking forms but remains editable per booking.
`Price`	Default amount for this service; auto-fills Appointments/Calendar booking forms but remains editable per booking.
`Active toggle`	When off, the service is hidden from the Service dropdown used when booking new appointments (Appointments page, Calendar quick-book) and from Prepaid Packages' service picker, but stays visible (dimmed) here for reactivation.

Tips & Best Practices

Keep category assignment consistent — it is the only grouping/filter mechanism this page offers, and there is no way to reorder within a category.
Turn a service Off instead of deleting it if you expect to bring it back seasonally (e.g. a festival-only spa package) — Off services keep their price/duration set for whenever you reactivate them.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

I changed a service's price but an old appointment still shows the old amount.

Appointments store their own Amount at the time of booking — they are not live-linked to the Service Menu row. Editing a service here only changes what auto-fills into new bookings going forward.

A service I turned Off is still showing up when I book an appointment.

Double-check you toggled Active off (not just closed the edit form without saving) — the Appointments/Calendar service dropdowns filter strictly on isActive.

I deleted a service by mistake.

Deletion is immediate and permanent after the confirmation prompt; there is no undo. Past appointments referencing that service name are unaffected since they store their own copy of the name/duration/price.
