Tiếng Việt: Giữ POS, thêm lễ tân AI.
You already paid for the register
Walk a Vietnamese-American nail shop in the US and the computer at the desk is usually one of a handful of names: SimplePOS, Limited POS, Salon Solutions, Mac USA, or Go POS. Techs know how to close a gel. Tips land. End-of-day is muscle memory. That software did its job. It was never the phone.
Salespeople still pitch a “beauty OS” that wants the whole stack — booking, marketing, and the drawer. Rip-and-replace sounds clean on a demo. On the floor it means retraining every tech, reprinting habits, and throwing away a POS the shop already paid for. Keep the POS. Add the missing job: someone who actually picks up.
Checkout and the phone are two jobs
The register takes a card when the customer is in the chair. The phone has to book a fill while that same chair is wet. Those are not the same screen. A POS that prints a receipt does not answer “can I get a fill Tuesday at 11?” while acrylic is setting. Related: how to handle the phone during a fill or acrylic.
Nail salon software that “works with” Limited POS, Salon Solutions, Mac USA, or Go POS — in the sense owners actually need — is software that leaves checkout alone and covers the line. That is the AI receptionist job, not a second cash drawer.
Named POS, kept on purpose
- SimplePOS — common on independent US nail floors. Tickets close here. AIVA does not move them.
- Limited POS — same story: paid for, learned, trusted at checkout. Keep it.
- Salon Solutions — still the register. Not the 24/7 English voice.
- Mac USA — still the register. Not the SMS of the appointment.
- Go POS — still the register. The phone layer sits beside it.
If a vendor says you must migrate off those names to “get AI,” they are selling a POS swap. We are not. Product page: AI receptionist for nail salons.
What “works with your POS” means here
Plain English: AIVA answers the shop number in English, writes Bukkii’s live calendar (gel, dip, fill, acrylic), filters spam, and texts the booking to the customer. The tech still rings the sale on SimplePOS — or Limited POS, Salon Solutions, Mac USA, Go POS — the way they did last Tuesday.
It does not mean AIVA becomes your POS. It does not mean we inject tickets into the register. It does not mean a native Vagaro webhook. We will not invent one. Owners comparing national platforms can read the honest names in our nail salon software comparison.
A Tuesday fill with both systems
- A caller wants a fill. Hands on the floor are in gel. Nobody can pick up.
- AIVA answers in English, checks the live calendar, books the chair, texts the time.
- The customer shows up. The tech does the fill. Checkout happens on the POS already on the desk.
Three steps. No new drawer. No “best POS” speech. If the shop is dark Saturday night, the same phone layer still books — after-hours nail salon calls — and Monday morning the ticket still closes where it always closed.
What AIVA does not do
- Does not replace SimplePOS, Limited POS, Salon Solutions, Mac USA, or Go POS.
- Does not greet the walk-in at the door — a person or the check-in tablet does that.
- Does not run Spanish, French, or German on the phone. The voice is English. Owner apps: English or Vietnamese.
- Does not claim a Vagaro sync we do not have.

FAQ
Does an AI receptionist work with SimplePOS, Limited POS, Salon Solutions, Mac USA, or Go POS?
Yes. AIVA is the phone layer: she answers in English and texts the booking. Checkout stays on the POS the shop already paid for. She does not replace the register.
Do I have to replace my nail salon POS to add an AI receptionist?
No. Keep the POS. Add AIVA for the ringing line. Techs still close tickets where they already close tickets. We do not sell a POS swap.
Does Bukkii have a Vagaro webhook?
No. We do not claim a native Vagaro webhook. If you run Vagaro, treat AIVA as the phone layer on Bukkii’s live calendar. Checkout stays where your techs already take payment.
Who takes the card if AIVA answers the phone?
The same POS as today. AIVA books gel, dip, fill, or acrylic and texts the appointment. Payment happens at the chair or the front desk on SimplePOS, Limited POS, Salon Solutions, Mac USA, Go POS, or whatever checkout you already run.
