Booking Pro just launched payroll for its salons, spas and barbershops. Friday powers it.
That means owners who already book, check out and track tips in Booking Pro can now pay their team without retyping a single number. And behind every payroll is our team, handling the taxes, the filings and the questions.
Why we built this with Booking Pro
Salon payroll is not simple. One stylist earns 40% on color and 35% on cuts. Another is paid by the hour. Tips come in on cards all week. Then payday comes, and the owner sits down with three reports and a calculator.
Booking Pro already tracks every service, every tip and every shift. We already pay teams, file payroll taxes and handle the forms for small businesses. Connecting the two was the obvious next step.
What Booking Pro customers get
- Commission and tips in one click. At the end of a pay period, click Send to Friday. Every person’s commission and tips land on that period’s payroll.
- Hours that sync on their own. Shifts from the Booking Pro time clock reach Friday about every 15 minutes. We work out regular and overtime hours.
- Time off in sync. Time off approved in Booking Pro comes to Friday. Time off approved in Friday blocks that person’s booking calendar.
- New hires in minutes. Add someone in Booking Pro and send them to Friday. We email them to finish their tax forms and bank details.
- Paid means paid. When the payroll runs, Booking Pro marks those commissions and tips as paid.
What we take care of
This is the part salon owners never see, and the part we’re proudest of.
- Payroll taxes, handled. Every federal, state and local payroll tax, paid and filed for you. Every payroll and every quarter.
- Tax forms at year end, done. W-2s are filed for you.
- Your team gets paid on time. Direct deposit, every payday.
- Onboarding, handled. New hires finish their own paperwork in Friday. You don’t chase forms.
- Switching is on us. Setting up your account takes about 13 minutes. We do the migration from your current payroll. $0 setup fee.

Common questions
Who do I call with a payroll question?
Us. Paychecks, taxes and filings are on our side, and a real person answers.
Can I change amounts before I approve?
Yes. Booking Pro marks paid only what was actually paid. Anything left goes with the next pay period.
Which time clock should my team use?
Either one. Pick Booking Pro’s time clock or Friday’s.
Can I connect more than one location?
Yes. Each location connects on its own, and locations under one Friday company share one payroll.
Does it work outside the US?
No. Friday runs US payroll only.
