The Operational Problem
A busy local salon was relying on physical notebook logs and disjointed messaging apps to record bookings, calculate daily earnings, and track stylist commissions. This resulted in frequent double-bookings during peak weekend hours, delays during billing, and hours spent manually reconciling cash and UPI receipts at day-end.
Engineering Approach
I worked directly with the salon owner to map their exact physical workflow—from when a walk-in client sits down to service selection, add-on requests, checkout, and stylist tip allocation. Rather than burdening them with complex enterprise software, I built a fast, single-screen POS and appointment desk optimized for both tablet and desktop touch targets.
Key Implementation Decisions
Zero-Latency POS Billing Interface
Implemented an optimistic local cart state that allows the front desk to add multiple services, apply member discounts, and select payment types in seconds without waiting for multiple server roundtrips.
Relational Schema for Appointments & Staff Shifts
Designed a normalized PostgreSQL schema with Prisma ORM that enforces room and stylist availability constraints at the database level, preventing conflicting bookings even under simultaneous operator entries.
Instant Invoice & Receipt Generation
Engineered a lightweight browser-based thermal print format that generates clean, compact customer slips directly from the checkout modal without external printer drivers.
