What FlashTeks is

FlashTeks is a salon and local business platform for digital check-ins, booking, review management, SMS campaigns, and dashboards. Its check-ins support walk-ins and appointments, customer choice of service and staff, and notes for VIPs or regulars. After visits, it can send timed SMS review requests, with separate review links for each location and a review dashboard. It also offers AI-crafted automatic replies to Google reviews.

Customers can book through a business website or Google. Booking features include real-time availability, deposit and cancellation rules, and double-booking prevention. Businesses can direct SMS promotions to groups such as birthday customers, lapsed regulars, or people visiting on slow weekdays. Google is named for bookings and reviews; payment integration is an add-on to Pro. The Pro plan supports web, iOS, and Android across unlimited devices. FlashTeks describes onboarding with a discovery call, account setup, training, and ongoing campaign optimization. Its intended customers include high-traffic salons, spas, gyms, clinics, repair centers, and restaurants in Canada and the US. The maker is FlashTeks Technologies Inc, headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. Merchants retain ownership of their business and customer data. Payment processors handle and encrypt card details; FlashTeks says it does not process, store, or transmit full card numbers or security codes.
