Overview

Front Desk Central is where you run the day-to-day of your business — appointments, clients, your team, and the settings that make the app fit how you work. This guide is a quick map; each section links to a deeper guide.

Getting around

When you sign in, you land on the Dashboard. The main navigation is the sidebar on the left (on a phone, tap the menu button in the top-left to open it). The sections are:

• Overview — your dashboard home.
• Calendar — your appointments, day by day.
• Clients — the people you serve and their history.
• Messages — incoming messages and form submissions (a badge shows unread items).
• Content — the pages, posts, and listings for your public website.
• Staff — your team members and their working hours.
• Inventory — your stock and supplies.
• Settings — everything you configure once: services, locations, booking, and more.

In the top-right of every page you'll find the Help button (the ?), which opens the guide for whatever page you're on.

The path from signed up to taking bookings

If you're just getting started, do these in order — each one builds on the last:

1. Set up your services — the things clients can book, with prices and durations.
2. Add staff and schedules — who does the work and when they're available.
3. Booking page settings — turn on online booking once services and staff are ready.

Along the way you may want to tune a few things to match your business: locations, regional settings (language and display formats), and terminology (the words the app uses).

note

The dashboard home is intentionally simple right now — more at-a-glance information is on the way. For today, the sidebar is how you get to everything.
