Take Control of Your Spa’s Liabilities

The new Liabilities Tool in Power BI gives you a clear, accurate view of your spa’s membership and gift card balances. Unlike Zenoti’s native reports, this tool offers improved structure, better categorization, and reliable data to help you track trends and understand the true value of services owed. Use this tool regularly to stay ahead, support smart staffing decisions, and avoid financial blind spots.

Why it matters:

  • Liabilities are not earned income, they represent future services your spa is committed to delivering. Monitoring them helps you manage capacity, member engagement, and long-term financial health.
  • Rising liabilities without matching redemptions may signal member disengagement or staffing and capacity issues. Regular reviews help you take proactive action.
