I like that there are so many things you can do from booking appointments, marketing to clients, and even auto scheduling reminder or no show texts and emails. > > **Cons**: The two things I would like to add to shortcuts is the ability to keep card information on file to charge no show or cancellation fees as well as a way to be able to txt clients and have them respond. Right now we have to use a third party for each of those features. > > Overall I love how responsive the shortcuts help desk is\! They always take time to answer all of my questions and make sure I am taken care of. If I do not know how to do something they are always there to help\! ----- ### "Shortcuts Software" — 4.0/5 > **Britney** | *August 16, 2019* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Shortcuts software is extremely user friendly in our salons. They have an expansive educational library on their website that make training new staff a breeze. > > **Cons**: The only downfall we have with Shortcuts is its not a true shared database. We have multiple sites so having one pool of client data would be ideal. They have work arounds like global clients but it creates duplication in the files and data per site. > > Through Shortcuts we have been able to take our bookings online through their online booking portal resulting in a reduction of front desk staff labor\! ----- ### "Salon Manager" — 1.0/5 > **Mae** | *April 27, 2023* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It support is prompt and answers the concern as best they can > > **Cons**: Too many steps for operating system in a fast pace salon > > Not good at all ----- ### "Great product overall" — 5.0/5 > **Diana** | *September 27, 2019* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the ease of use of this product. Our daily day to day operation would be so much more difficult without Shortcuts. Shortcuts keeps everything organized and running smoothly. > > **Cons**: The only down side to this software, when using the online booking feature, everything is a-la-cart. It is an issue for the salon industry, since we often book clients back to back. For example, one client would be a color and cut, during their processing time for the color, we could book another client in there. Not all clients know to book the color with a blowdry/cut, some only book the color portion which does not always leave us enough time to fulfill their request. > > Great\! ----- ### "Shortcuts Opperations" — 4.0/5 > **Jason** | *September 19, 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to setup and use. So many features from inventory to customer appreciation to scheduling clients with one to many employees. I know a few salons that use this software and love it. All in one package for everything you would need to run a salon/spa. > > **Cons**: The only thing I was not happy with was that the credit card software was an add-on (like most software platforms) and since we are an education facility we had to go with the standard package. This means you have to have another solution for a standalone credit card processing device if you are not willing to pay to use the built-in module. > > Overall great experience with using the Shortcuts software package. Support is great from Shortcuts, they can dial in a fix issues if it can't be resolved over the phone via Teamviewer. Most of our students catch on quick with the basics of adding appointments and client services, cashing out and general navigation is great. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/118108/shortcuts?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/118108/shortcuts) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
