Booth Rent Tracker

Salon owners collect weekly chair rent from stylists without chasing anyone.

Nobody has claimed this yet. Be first.

The idea

Salon and barbershop owners who rent chairs to independent stylists track who owes what each week. Stylists get a reminder and a pay link, and the owner sees a simple paid and late board. It replaces awkward in-person reminders and scribbled notebooks.

Who it is for
Salon and barbershop owners renting 3 to 15 chairs
How it makes money
Monthly subscription per salon
Suggested stack
Next.js, MySQL, Tailwind, hosted on a small VPS

Your first AI prompts

Paste these into Claude, Cursor or Lovable, in order. Check that each one works before moving on.

PROMPT 1 OF 3

Build a web app called Booth Rent Tracker. Start with owner sign up, a salon profile, and a Stylists page where the owner adds each stylist with name, phone, email, chair number, weekly rent amount and due weekday.

PROMPT 2 OF 3

Add a weekly rent ledger. Each week create a charge per stylist with fields: stylist, week start, amount, status (due, paid, late), paid date and note. Show a board with three columns for due, paid and late, and let the owner mark a charge paid by hand with a payment method.

PROMPT 3 OF 3

Add Stripe payment links so each stylist gets an emailed link on due day and a reminder two days later if unpaid. When Stripe confirms payment, mark the charge paid. Add a monthly summary page with totals collected and a CSV export.
