Who is Antrahq built for?

Salon and spa operators in India — from a single outlet to large multi-branch networks. Buyers are usually founders, operations heads, or finance leaders who need GST billing, guest CRM, staff attendance, inventory, WhatsApp marketing, and branch profitability in one platform that scales as they grow.

Is Antrahq salon POS software or something else?

Antrahq is a salon and spa management platform — not only POS. It includes GST billing at the desk, plus multi-branch P&L, CRM, inventory, staff attendance, and WhatsApp campaigns. Owners use it to decide which branch to coach — not only to print a bill.

How does Antrahq compare to Zenoti, MioSalon, or Salonist?

Zenoti suits large enterprise chains with custom rollouts. MioSalon and Salonist are strong operational tools for many Indian salons. Antrahq fits operators who want connected branch economics and public ₹/branch pricing — whether you run one location today or dozens tomorrow. See our compare pages for an honest side-by-side starting point.

Do you take a cut of bookings?

No. Antrahq is subscription software for your brand. You keep booking revenue; we charge per branch per month.

Is WhatsApp marketing included?

WhatsApp campaign tools are on the Growth plan. Message delivery connects to your MSG91 (or equivalent) account — audience preview and segmentation are in the product.

Can managers use it on tablets?

Yes. The manager app is an installable PWA for walk-ins, attendance, inventory, and bookings on salon tablets.

What is Local Spotlight?

Local Spotlight is an owner dashboard for Google digital presence: Local Visibility Score, estimated local search rank, Google Business Profile completeness, nearby rival salons, and prioritised playbooks (profile fixes, review growth, keyword gaps). It complements Market Pulse, which ranks branches inside your network.

How do reviews and ratings work?

After a walk-in payment, managers can show a QR code. Guests submit a quick rating and category scores. Four- and five-star guests can be routed to your Google review page; lower scores stay private and appear in Customer voice for recovery. Owners see averages, themes, and open follow-ups.

What happens in a growth audit?

In 30 minutes we map your branch count, billing flow, reporting gaps, and retention rhythm — then walk the relevant product screens. It is tailored to your chain, not a generic slide deck.

Salon billing & GST software in India — buyer guide

Salon billing software in India is not just “print a receipt.” Buyers need GST-correct invoices, fast UPI collection, and a desk flow stylists will actually use on Saturday peaks — ideally inside a broader salon management platform.

What salon billing / POS software must do in India

Non-negotiables for Indian salon and spa desks:

GST invoice with taxable value, CGST/SGST (or IGST), and invoice number series
Branch-level GSTIN when outlets are separately registered
Cash + UPI + card on one bill with clear tender split
Stylist assignment on service lines for commission truth
WhatsApp or PDF receipt the guest can keep
Discount/void audit trail for managers

Billing-only tools vs salon management platform

A pure billing app closes the sale. A salon management platform ties that sale to guest CRM, inventory deduction, attendance, and branch P&L. If you only need invoices for one parlour, billing-first tools can work. If you run a chain, billing without P&L recreates Sunday Excel.

Walk-in billing flow that survives Saturday rush

Find guest by phone → add services with stylists → preview GST → collect tenders → send WhatsApp PDF. Train managers to finish a bill in under two minutes. Anything slower gets bypassed with handwritten notes.

Multi-branch GST pitfalls

Brand-level GSTIN with outlet-level cash collection creates audit pain. Confirm how software maps invoice series per branch, how credit notes work, and whether reports reconcile collections to GST liability without a CA spreadsheet every month.

How Antrahq handles salon billing & GST

Antrahq billing is built for Indian walk-ins inside the full platform: GST preview, tenders, WhatsApp receipts, and owner-visible discounts — then the same bill feeds CRM and branch economics. Explore the billing product page and book a growth audit to watch a live walk-in.
