Beauty Industry Glossary

A sales model where the client pays upfront for a fixed number of sessions (e.g., 10 facial treatments), then redeems one per visit. Common in SPAs, skincare, slimming, and beauty studios.

A fixed cash bonus paid to a beautician for each execution of a specific service — separate from percentage-based commission. Counts toward salary but not toward shop revenue.

A promotional credit issued by the shop, redeemed against future services. Settles the customer's bill but does NOT count toward shop revenue or beautician performance.

MeiYe Zhan's revenue-recognition model: performance is credited to the beautician on the day the customer pays cash. Unpaid balances are credited only when paid back later.

When multiple beauticians work on one service, one is designated as main and any number can be supports with independently configurable percentage shares (total ≤ 100%).

Goods the customer has paid for but is keeping at the shop for later pickup. Inventory is decremented only at pickup; the client's account reflects "awaiting collection".

Recording payment for debts a customer accumulated before adopting MeiYe Zhan. Counts toward cash collection but NOT toward performance — prevents inflated performance via backfilling pre-system history.

A tag attached to a customer that auto-applies a discount rate (e.g., VIP = 10% off) to every service or product they buy. Multiple tiers configurable.

A self-service flow for a beautician moving from one MeiYe Zhan shop to another. The original shop's historical records remain intact; the new shop sends an invite link; the beautician clicks to join.

A customer prepays a lump sum to create a "stored-value balance," then has each later purchase deducted directly from that balance. It's often paired with a "deposit N, get M free" bonus (e.g., deposit 10,000, get 1,000 free, for 11,000 in usable credit). Unlike a package, the balance isn't tied to any specific service and can be spent freely across any item.

The overtime hour threshold is the cap on a single day's "normal" working hours—only hours worked beyond this line count as overtime and get paid at a higher hourly rate. For example, if the threshold is set at 8 hours and an employee works 10 hours that day, the extra 2 hours are overtime. Set the threshold correctly and your overtime pay comes out right.

A beauty franchise store's customer, revenue, and payroll data fully belongs to the franchise owner — you decide who sees what, and can export it all completely at any time. Ownership + access control + portability, all three at once.
