01
Is booking software better than a spreadsheet for a spa or salon in Nepal?
A spreadsheet works for one person and one branch. It stops working once several staff book, discount and take payments, because nothing stops two bookings for the same therapist or room and nobody approves discounts. Booking software books staff, room and time together and records every payment against its booking.
02
Can WhatsApp be used to manage bookings?
It works for conversations, but bookings become scattered across chats. There is no single schedule, no record of who approved a discount and no daily total. Zennly keeps one schedule and one payment record for every branch.
03
What should I look for when choosing booking software in Nepal?
Check that it prevents double bookings across staff and rooms, requires approval for discounts, records payments by cash, card and online, gives one report across branches, controls who can see what, and is quoted in a way you can plan for.
04
When should a business switch from spreadsheets to booking software?
Usually when a second branch opens, when more than one person takes bookings, or when the owner can no longer close the day without counting slips and chats.
