 Is Your Front Desk Congested?
The most frustrating thing you can do to your clients at the front desk is make them wait – doesn’t matter what the reason is, clients don’t like to wait. With the holidays coming up, it’s time to start thinking of optimize your front desk by doing one of the following:
- Adding a look-up station to keep your service providers from clogging up the flow at the front desk.
- Adding another station at the front desk to check-in, while the other station is for check-out.
- Adding another station in the back room for administrative tasks.
Remember – the front desk is for taking appointments and taking cash. Call your Business Development Representative at 866-678-7324 or email businessdevelopment@shortcuts.net to discuss optimizing your front desk before the holiday rush begins! |
