Inventory

Salon inventory management software that counts the oil for you.

Every massage uses oil, lotion and linens. In Rytuo the usage from each service's recipe is deducted when the appointment is completed. The front desk records deliveries by scanning barcodes with a phone camera, and each morning you see what is running low and which supplier to order it from.

Rytuo's salon inventory management software is connected to the schedule: per-service recipes are deducted after completed appointments, deliveries are recorded by scanning barcodes with a phone camera, shopping lists are grouped by supplier, inventory counts are approved by the owner, and retail sales have their own result. Each location keeps its own inventory, with transfers between locations.

No more counting bottles in a notebook

A massage studio does not carry many products, but they go fast: oils, lotions, disposable sheets and towels, disinfectant. Usually someone counts them once a month, or when the oil runs out in the middle of the day. Then you order in a hurry, at a higher price, and nobody knows what one massage really costs.

In Rytuo inventory is linked to the schedule. The recipe for each service says how much product one massage uses, and a completed appointment deducts it without any extra click from the front desk. A couples massage is one appointment, so its recipe holds the quantities for two people. Next to each service you see the product cost and the margin, so you know which services earn the most.

The morning brief only mentions exceptions: which products have fallen below their minimum and whether an inventory count is waiting for approval. One click leads to the shopping list, and from there the order goes to the supplier by email or WhatsApp.

Shopping list Example

Cost and margin per massage

Product cost next to the service price, based on the latest purchase price.

Scanner in your phone

Barcodes with the camera of a phone, tablet or laptop, in any modern browser. A USB scanner works too.

Orders in one click

A shopping list by supplier, with the number of packs, sent by email or WhatsApp.

Counts under control

The front desk counts, the owner approves. Every inventory change has an author and a reason.

Several locations

Inventory and its value per location side by side, and transfers between locations.

Deliveries, counts and retail

  • Deliveries: the front desk scans the barcode with a phone or laptop camera and enters the number of packs. The invoice price updates the product's purchase price, and the invoice number goes into the note.
  • Inventory counts: the front desk enters what is on the shelf and sends it for approval. You see shortages and surpluses in units and money and approve or reject with a reason. Usage and deliveries between counting and approval are kept.
  • Retail: an oil, candle or lotion added to the massage bill is paid in one payment, with the payment method chosen at checkout. A sale without an appointment is one screen too, and a refund puts the product back into inventory.

Setting up inventory in your studio

  1. Add your products: name, unit, pack size, purchase price, minimum and supplier. Scan the barcode to fill it in.
  2. Set the recipes: for each service, how much product one massage uses.
  3. Work as usual. The front desk marks appointments as completed and records deliveries; inventory, shortages and the shopping list update themselves.

Inventory is part of the Salon plan (pricing). Shortages show up in the morning brief. Overview: massage therapist software and spa software.

Questions about inventory

Does inventory really come off automatically after a massage?

Yes. Each service has a recipe, for example 30 ml of almond oil and one disposable sheet (quantities are kept in ml, grams or pieces). When the front desk marks the appointment as completed, Rytuo deducts those quantities from inventory. If the appointment is deleted, the products go back into inventory.

Can the front desk do an inventory count?

Yes. The front desk enters what is actually on the shelf and sends the count for approval, without seeing inventory values. The owner or a manager sees the differences in units and in money and approves or rejects the count. Only an approved count changes inventory.

Can I sell oils, candles and skincare to clients?

Yes. The front desk adds products to the appointment bill, so the client pays once for the massage and the products, or sells them without an appointment. Inventory goes down straight away, and retail has its own result with margin, so it does not inflate service revenue or the base for therapist pay.

Do I need a barcode scanner?

No. You scan barcodes with the camera of a phone, tablet or laptop in the browser. A USB scanner works too, and you can always search for a product by name.

What if the system runs out of a product but the appointment happened?

An appointment is never blocked. The product shows negative inventory with a prompt to record a delivery or count the shelf. Inventory value is calculated without negative quantities, so reports stay consistent.

I have several locations. Does each have its own inventory?

Yes. Each location has its own inventory. An owner of several locations sees inventory value and shortages for each location side by side and can transfer products between locations in one move.
