Front Desk · T-Max Timers

Start the bed from the front desk.

Tan.app connects to the T-Max Manager you already have. When you start a customer's session, the app sends their minutes to the bed's timer, and the screen shows the time left on that timer.

In Salon Desk, $97 a month per location, and in every package above it.
The problem today

Minutes typed twice: in the software, then on the timer.

A bed started for 12 minutes when the customer was booked for 8.

A front desk that cannot see which beds are running.

How it works

The app talks to your T-Max Manager.

A small program on a computer in your salon holds the Manager's cable. It reads every timer about once a second, and it sends the starts and stops you press in the app.

  1. 01

    Connect the Manager

    We set up the program with you, on a computer beside your T-Max Manager. Your timers, their wiring and the Manager stay as they are.

  2. 02

    Match each timer to its bed

    The app lists every timer the Manager reports, with the longest session that timer allows. You pick the bed each one switches.

  3. 03

    Start the session

    Start a customer's session at the front desk. The app sends their minutes to the bed, after the time you set for them to get ready. Stop bed turns the lamps off.

The Timer Link for Windows

This is the program that holds the cable to your T-Max Manager. Install it on the Windows computer beside the Manager. It asks for your salon's key, which you copy in the app from Settings, then Bed Timers.

The timer still holds the limit.

The longest session a bed can run is set inside its T-Max timer. The app cannot send more than that, and it cannot lengthen a session that is running.

The customer's minutes

The app sends the tan time you set for that customer. It never sends the length of the booking slot.

Time to get ready

Set 0 to 10 minutes before the lamps come on. The customer can start sooner with the button in the room.

What each bed is doing

Getting ready, lamps on, paused, or finished and waiting to be cleaned, read from the timer itself.

Stop from the front desk

Stop bed turns the lamps off in a few seconds. Cancelling a session that is in a room stops its bed too.

One session a visit

A second start in the same visit can send only the minutes the first start did not use.

When the internet is down

A bed that is running finishes on time, because the T-Max timer keeps the clock. A start that cannot reach the bed in 20 seconds is cancelled, never sent late.

Sample floor
Room A: lamps on, 7:02 left. Room B: getting ready, 1:40. Room C: finished, room to clean.
