WHAT paper and WhatsApp groups DOES WELL
Start with the strengths.
Paper and WhatsApp groups can be familiar and quick to start. You choose your own notebook, messages and handover routine, without learning a new salon system.

|---|---|---|
| Daily routine | Your notebook and groups follow the process your team creates. | Calendar, client records and a shared daily desk. |
| Team handover | You decide who records a change, sends a reminder and checks the reply. | Notices with their reasons, passes and a connected checkout. |
| Price & effort | Compare the time spent maintaining the routine as well as any software or messaging costs. | Growth ₹8,999 / year; Signature ₹12,999 / year per outlet. Prices exclude GST. |
ASK BOTH PRODUCTS TO SHOW THE WORK
Six things to try at the desk.
These are questions to test.
They are not claims that another product lacks a feature.

|---|---|---|
| Notices | Each notice prints its reason and numbers. | Ask to see a live notice and the data that caused it. |

| Back-bar stock | Set ml or g per service once; deduct on a paid bill. | Demonstrate service usage, a stock receipt and a quick count. |
