How Epos Now gives Cowshed Tanning a freshly-bronzed look

As with any business, opening a new salon means juggling a hundred tasks at once, all of which are top priority. Once they'd set up Epos Now, the team at Cowshed Tanning could start automating manual processes that were eating into valuable time.

For a salon owner who wants to focus on delivering exceptional client experiences, these operational headaches are a distraction. Every minute spent wrestling with data input or stock tracking is a minute not spent building relationships with clients. Cowshed Tanning needed a modern, reliable system that could handle the business side of things while they focused on what they do best.

Cowshed Tanning chose Epos Now after a recommendation from a fellow business owner. The POS had worked in the other business, and they were sure it would work in theirs, too.  Epos Now offered them a modern cloud POS system that could pair with an in-house card payments device, all in one unified platform. One provider, one bill, one support team to call.

Once they signed up, the setup was refreshingly simple. Within days, Cowshed Tanning had a complete salon POS system up and running. The cloud-based platform meant they now had real-time access to sales data from anywhere; no more waiting until closing time to understand how the day went.

Epos Now Payments transformed the checkout experience. Transactions flowed seamlessly from the till to the card reader. Payments settled directly into the business account with the option of accessing faster daily settlements if they need them. That meant healthier cash flow and no more manual end-of-day reconciliation headaches.

To help the back office business still further, Epos Now's integrated dashboard meant Cowshed Tnaning could see sales figures, payment data, and business insights all live on the one screen, giving the management team full oversight.

For a beauty business focused on client experience, this simplicity is everything. Staff can process transactions quickly and keep up an easy conversation with guests, making them feel welcome and cared for.

Thanks to their Epos Now system, Cowshed Tanning clients spend less time waiting and more time enjoying their experience. The streamlined payment process means transactions complete in seconds, not minutes while end-of-day reconciliations take a minute instead of the tedious hour they used to demand.

All in all, the salon saves many hours on labour every week. Reduced admin burden means the owner, Andy, can focus on delivering exceptional service rather than drowning in paperwork. Sales reporting has transformed decision-making; real-time insights reveal which services perform best, when peak times occur, and where opportunities exist. This is the kind of business intelligence that helps small businesses compete with bigger players, which is exactly what the Epos Now POS system does for Cowshed Tanning.

But, perhaps most importantly, the system is reliable. No crashes, no confusion, no frantic calls for help during busy periods. Just a dependable platform that works every single day.
