This is the setup path for owners and managers running a team: employed stylists, booth renters, front desk, or any mix. It builds on the solo path, so start there if you haven’t already.

​
First, the shared foundation

Work through the solo setup for the business itself: business details in Settings, the service menu in Services, and your booking page. For a team, add one habit: when you create services, think about who performs them. Service assignments decide what clients can book with each stylist.

​
Understand roles before adding people

Everyone in your workspace has a role, and the role decides what they can see and do: Custom roles exist too, for salons that divide responsibility differently. If the team shares a computer or iPad at the desk, set up Salon Mode. Each person uses their own PIN, and the shared device opens with that person’s role instead of staying signed in as an owner or manager.

​
Your team lives in Team

Open Team in the sidebar. The tabs across the top cover the whole employment side of the business:
  • Team: everyone on the team, and where the sidebar lands you. Each person’s role, status, and commission arrangement (percentage or flat), with the pencil on their row opening the rest: whether they can be booked, their time mode (a set schedule, or clock in and out), and a renter’s days.
  • Performance: team size, pending commissions, hours tracked this pay period, and rent due.
  • Commissions: records waiting on your approval before payroll.
  • Booth Rent: agreements, amounts due, and who’s overdue.
  • Time: tracked hours for hourly team members.
  • Payroll: pay-period readiness, built from the tabs above.
The deeper workflows (approving commissions, rent schedules, payroll runs) get their own guide: Commissions, time, rent, and payroll. Team members join Sable by invitation. Select Add team member on the Team tab, pick their role, enter their name, mobile number, and email, and send. Each person follows the email link, signs in without a password, and verifies their mobile number if needed. They join with the role you chose. Bookability and working hours are separate settings for teammates taking appointments. Adding a booth renter goes a step further and sets up the whole arrangement at once: the days they rent the chair, and the rent amount and frequency, which start the moment they accept. The full flow, including how invited teammates appear in the roster, is in Roles and permissions.
During beta we’ll also happily set your team up with you as part of onboarding, so have your roster and roles ready either way.

​
Decide what clients can book online

With multiple stylists, your booking page does more work: clients pick a service and a time, and the times on offer come from your team’s schedules and service assignments. Before you publish, check that each stylist’s bookable services and hours look right, then follow Publish your online booking page.

​
You’re done when

  • Every person on your team appears in Team with the right role
  • Booth renters are marked as booth renters, with rent agreements in place
  • Commission arrangements on the Team tab match what you actually pay
  • A test booking for a specific stylist lands on that stylist’s calendar
  • Every shared front-desk device uses Salon Mode, and each teammate has their own PIN
