There are two different ways you can take in order for your app to be prepared to record wasted products.
Option 1: Adding empty color bowls in-app, under the ‘back bar’ tab
In your mobile app, select the ‘back bar’ tab at the bottom of your screen. From here, you will now select ‘empty bowls’.
Select the + button and begin by taking a photo of your color bowl and then giving your bowl a simple name. i.e. ‘redken bowl’ or ‘blue bowl’. You then will weigh your bowl on its own, and enter the weight into your app. You can also add an image to identify your bowl faster.

SalonScale's Waste Bucket feature is important to utilize as it allows you to readjust future formulas, taking into account any leftover color from the previous visit, thus, reducing waste in your salon. The reason we suggest adding in empty bowls is to ensure that when you come back to record your waste, you’re getting an accurate measurement of your color and not the color bowl itself.
