# Set up Sable for a salon team

> Everything from the solo path, plus roles, your staff roster, commissions, and booth rent.

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](/getting-started/solo-stylist-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:

| Role                       | Built for                                                                                 |
| -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Owner**                  | You. Full access to everything, including money and settings.                             |
| **Admin**                  | A manager who runs the day to day without owning the business.                            |
| **Stylist**                | Behind the chair. Their own calendar and clients, not your finances.                      |
| **Stylist (booth renter)** | A stylist who rents from you and runs their own book. Sable tracks their rent separately. |
| **Front desk**             | Booking, check-in, and checkout on behalf of the team.                                    |

Custom roles exist too, for salons that divide responsibility differently.

## Your team lives in Team

Open **Team** in the sidebar. The tabs across the top cover the whole
employment side of the business:

* **Overview**: team size, pending commissions, hours tracked this pay
  period, and rent due.
* **Staff**: the roster. Each person's role, whether they rent a booth,
  their time mode (a set *schedule*, or *clock* in and out), and their
  commission arrangement (percentage or flat).
* **Commissions**: records waiting on your approval before payroll.
* **Time**: tracked hours for hourly team members.
* **Booth Rent**: agreements, amounts due, and who's overdue.
* **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](/guides/team/commissions-time-rent-and-payroll).

<Note>
  Team members join Sable by invitation. During beta, we set your team up
  with you as part of onboarding, so have your roster and roles ready and
  everyone's in place from day one.
</Note>

## 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](/getting-started/publish-online-booking).

## 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 **Staff** tab match what you actually pay
* A test booking for a specific stylist lands on that stylist's calendar
