Turn Manager
One turn board everyone can check
Two technicians both say they’re next. The Turn Manager shows everyone the same turn counts, the same sign-in times and the same name up next, on every connected screen.
Who’s next
The technician next in rotation is outlined in green. Assign them a guest, and the green moves to whoever is next.
Breaks and late sign‑ins
A break is a temporary skip, not a new order. Technicians who sign in after your cutoff start with a turn already counted.
Automatic mode
Assign a booked guest on the turn board, and their appointment moves to that technician in the Appointment Book.
Product tour
From the first booking to the closed ticket
Aura keeps one appointment record from check‑in through checkout, so there’s less to re-enter on separate screens.
Appointment Book
One schedule the whole front desk shares
- Every technician’s day sits side by side, on every connected screen.
- Move a visit by dragging it to another technician’s column.
- Book up to 12 guests under one name, each with their own technician and services.
Online Booking
Only open times, from your real menu
- Clients can book with a technician they know, or with no preference.
- Before showing a time, Aura checks the technician’s hours, time off, appointments and your lead time.
- No app or account needed. The booking lands in your Appointment Book.
Client Check-In
Walk‑ins and booked guests check themselves in
- A walk‑in enters a phone number, party size and services on the kiosk.
- A guest booked for today is matched to that appointment by phone number.
- Every check‑in lands on the Turn Manager waiting list, with the party and services attached.
Smart Checkout
One ticket, from the chair to closed
- Each service sits under the technician who did it, with their share of the tip.
- Take card, cash, gift card or some of each. Aura shows what’s still owed.
- Closing the ticket counts the turn and sends services and tips to payroll.
Staff App
Paged the moment a guest is assigned
- The technician’s phone buzzes with the guest and the service to start.
- The salon sets how many times each technician is paged, from 1 to 5.
- Between guests, they check their own turn, appointments, tickets and pay.
