This release makes it easier to compare sales with budget, gives Frenchies studios a faster view of retail performance, and keeps an outdated declined payment from lingering on the front desk's worklist. No setup changes are required for most teams.

Reporting updates for corporate teams​

  • Weekly PE Summary is easier to trust at a glance. Use the new As of picker to stop current sales, prior-year sales, and Pace on the same business day. The All Systems row now includes the report's budget totals, and the Pace view clearly separates the completed Budget to Date comparison from the Pace to Month End forecast.
  • Location filters now apply to both sides of the Weekly PE comparison. When you select only certain locations, Budget and Var to Budget cover those same locations. With no location filter, the full system plan still includes closed locations and planned openings.
  • Franchise Performance now shows Var to Budget. Choose one franchise system in Scope to see month-to-date and year-to-date variance in dollars and percent. A blank means the selected period is not fully budgeted; it never means the budget is zero.
  • Budget vs Actual now covers Bishops Cuts / Color and Frenchies as well as The Lash Lounge. Closed locations keep their own budget and actual sales in the comparison, while planned-opening budget is identified separately so it is not mistaken for an existing salon's result.

Corporate teams do not need to change their existing reports or workbooks. If a budget figure is blank, review whether the selected dates and locations are fully covered in Settings → Corporate Settings → Franchise Management → System Budget.

Frenchies retail at a glance​

Frenchies studios now see retail dollars and Retail % together in one Retail Sales card on the Sales Dashboard. It shows the selected day's retail sales and the month-to-date or selected-range total, with month-over-month or year-over-year comparisons that follow the page controls. No action is needed.

A more accurate Declined Autopays list​

When the booking system deletes or replaces a scheduled charge, its outdated failure is now removed from Declined Autopays. Genuine unresolved declines remain, helping the front desk focus on clients who still need follow-up. No action is needed.

DART Reports navigation​

DART Reports now appears in the sidebar only when a The Lash Lounge location is selected, matching the reports currently available in that area. Frenchies and Bishops users no longer see a link to reports that have not launched for their systems. Corporate and admin users with access to The Lash Lounge can select a Lash Lounge location to open the current reports. No permission changes are needed.

For complete guidance, see Weekly PE Summary, Franchise Performance, Budget vs Actual, the Front Desk Dashboard, and DART Reports.
