Services and pricing management for appointment businesses

If the price the desk says is not the price the till records, you do not have pricing. You have a debate.

Services and pricing management for appointment businesses is how you stop inventing the price at the door. BOC keeps services, prices, and staff in setup so booking and payment use the same catalog. You add what you already sell. You are not drawing a marketing menu for a portal. There is no customer self-booking page that publishes those prices to the street unless you do that yourself, somewhere else.

Service plus resource, then optional extras

A complete price in BOC starts with the service and the resource. Staff and variants can be added when you use them — they are not required on every line. That matches how real floors work: some visits need a named person and a variant, some do not. Gender-specific session times can sit in the same setup when you use them. The booking flow then follows what you configured, rather than free text that fights the room.

Key takeaway One catalog. The desk speaks it. The calendar books it. The cashier collects it.

The cashier has to speak the same catalog

If the calendar books “session” and the till collects “package”, remaining balances rot. BOC’s cashier sits on the visit that used the service. Discount requests are approved, not whispered. Two currencies still roll into one main total.

Keep the list short enough to say out loud

If the desk cannot recite the catalog, the catalog is for the owner’s pride. Start with the services you already run this week. Tighten later. Set up in about five minutes, then start a free trial.

Questions

Do I have to price every staff member and variant?

No. Service and resource are the required pair. Staff and variants are optional extras when you use them.

Does BOC publish my prices on a customer booking site?

No. There is no customer booking portal. Prices live in setup for staff who book and collect.
