fonea integrates with common salon software such as Treatwell, Planity, Phorest, Salonized, and many others. If your system has an open interface (API or iCal) we write appointments directly into it. If no interface exists, fonea uses Google Calendar or Microsoft 365 as an intermediate layer. We check your specific software for free during the kick-off.

fonea quotes prices exactly as you define them — usually as a price range "from CHF X" with a final price depending on hair length, treatment duration, or add-ons. The final price is confirmed at the consultation on site. This avoids debates at the reception and at the same time you don't lose a client to the next studio.

fonea recognises callers by their phone number, sees their past treatments, and books by default with the usual stylist. We adapt the tonality to your salon — warm and personal for a neighbourhood shop, efficient and clear for an urban high-frequency studio.

fonea captures reschedules and cancellations 24/7 — including on the morning of the appointment while you're still asleep. The slot opens up and can be rebooked immediately from the dashboard. If you work with a deposit or reservation fee, fonea can communicate the rules.

In practice callers adapt to fonea within seconds if the voice sounds natural and the answers are competent. What matters: fonea understands Swiss German, replies in High German or Swiss Standard German, and hands over cleanly to you when unsure. As a rule, immediate availability beats a voicemail — even with older regulars who simply want to book a quick appointment.

Yes. You set a schedule in the dashboard: only outside opening hours, only when the line is busy, or full 24/7. You keep personal calls during the working day — and let fonea take over when you're at the chair.

A part-time (50%) salon receptionist costs CHF 2,500–3,500 per month including social contributions. fonea starts at CHF 90/month with 120 minutes. Clear: a receptionist folds towels and serves coffee. But for the phone alone, fonea is roughly 30× cheaper and works 24/7.

There is no minimum term. The contract is monthly. In the first 30 days a no-questions-asked money-back guarantee applies — ideal to test fonea during the next peak season (Christmas, spring).
