Facility Fees

Facility fees are fees that a stylist or employee incurs to use the facility. The fee is deducted from their service revenue.

Things to know:

• For franchise businesses, facility fees are created at the child level but can be applied to both local and global services.
• Facility fees are strictly internal and are never displayed to clients.
• Permissions for Facility Fee:
• View Staff Compensation: Staff with this permission can access the Facility Fees page in a read-only mode. They can view existing fees but are unable to add, edit, or delete them.
• Edit Staff Compensation: Staff with this permission have full administrative access to create, modify, and delete facility fees.
• You can define these fees as a flat dollar amount ($) or a percentage of service revenue. You may also apply multiple different facility fees to a single account.
• Facility fees can be customized based on specific locations or service categories. If you have already assigned every item within a specific service category to an existing facility fee, those items (and their variations) will no longer appear as options for new fees. This prevents the same service from being accidentally double-counted in identical fee structures.
• Staff commission is calculated based on the net revenue remaining after the facility fee has been deducted.
• The "Pre/Post-Discount" setting determines exactly when the fee is taken if a coupon or discount is applied to a ticket:
• Pre-Discount: The facility fee is subtracted from the original service price before the discount is calculated.
• Post-Discount: The facility fee is subtracted from the reduced price after the discount has been applied.
