KRI vs Phorest

Where KRI goes further

• A website built for the salon, with booking insideKRI builds the salon’s own website in one of four designs, with the services, photos and booking flow already in it. Phorest’s FAQ describes adding its booking widget to a website and Facebook page the salon already has.
• Clients book without creating an accountA KRI client picks a service, a specialist and a time, then leaves a name, phone number and email. Phorest’s help describes clients being asked to log in or create an account after they choose a time.
• The owner sets up the salon, no demo callKRI onboarding runs in the browser: business type, salon details, services pre-filled for that type, then the team. Phorest’s public pages send new customers to a demo with a business advisor, and its setup is done with Phorest’s team.
• Works for a one-person businessWith a single specialist, KRI skips the ‘choose who you book with’ step for clients. Phorest’s FAQ names salons with three or more staff as the fit, and lists mobile operators and chair-rental salons as a poor fit.
• A QR code and a printable posterKRI generates a QR code that opens the booking page, with an A4 poster as PDF and the code as PNG or SVG. Phorest’s help describes a direct booking link, a Book Now button, an iframe embed and a Reserve with Google button.
