What PandaCue is
PandaCue is salon and spa management software for coordinating appointments, payments, client communications, and business reporting. Its booking tools support scheduling around the clock, staff schedules, deposits, customizable widgets, and automated waitlists. A shared inbox groups Instagram and Facebook messages, SMS, and email by client. The website builder offers templates, digital intake forms that sync with client profiles, and built-in SEO. Payments cover card processing, retail sales, tips, gift cards, deposits, and financial reporting. Stripe handles card numbers; PandaCue says it does not store full card numbers on its servers.
Reports cover appointments, sales, clients, staff activity, and business performance, with updates as activity occurs. Listed integrations include Facebook, Google Business Profile, Instagram, Pinterest, Stripe, TikTok, and WhatsApp. Integration fees are included, though third-party services may charge their own subscriptions. Mobile experiences are described for owners and managers, staff, and clients. PandaCue organizes payroll data and offers payroll reports, but it does not run pay, tax filings, or direct deposits. Pricing is on request, and the homepage advertises a 7-day free trial.
