Questions businesses ask
Is Glas salon chair rental software?
Yes, among other things. Salons, studios and any other service business that hosts self-employed professionals can use Glas, whether you rent out chairs, rooms or treatment spaces. You can link freelancers to your business, agree chair or room rental terms, collect rent and send invoices, alongside the bookings, payments and reminders you already use it for.
Does it cost anything to invite freelancers?
No. Businesses can invite freelancers to link up for free, and the freelancer stays on their own Freelancer plan with no upgrade. The Business plan has its own monthly price, and the pricing page sets it out.
How do I charge freelancers rent for a chair or room?
Create a chair rental agreement for the freelancer. Choose a fixed fee, a percentage of their takings or a mix, then pick weekly or monthly billing and a due day. Glas works out what is owed each period and you confirm it before it is charged.
How is the rent collected?
Rent is collected through your own Stripe account, so your business needs Stripe connected. The freelancer saves a card with Stripe. Each period Glas queues the amount for you to review, and once you confirm, it is charged to that card.
Can I change the terms later?
Yes. You propose a change, such as a new fee, and the freelancer accepts or declines it. Accepted changes take effect from the date you set, and the agreement records the notice each side has to give.
Can I send invoices as well?
Yes. You can raise numbered invoices with VAT for freelancers, for things like rent or product charges, and for customers. Invoices go out by email, and you mark them paid by cash, card or bank transfer.
Who owns the freelancer's clients?
The freelancer does. They keep their own diary and client list, and their clients leave with them if they unlink. You see only what they agree to share.
Is the agreement legally binding?
Glas records the agreed terms and that the freelancer accepted them, with their typed name and the date. It is not legal advice, so have your wording checked by your own adviser.
What if a freelancer misses a payment?
You choose a missed payment policy when you set up the agreement. Glas flags the freelancer once their missed payments reach that policy, so you can follow it up.
