Run booth-rent and rev-share without chasing screenshots

Every owner says some version of the same thing: the work is fine, the math is the headache. Bookings live in one place, product sales in another, tips somewhere else, and the final split gets reconstructed from screenshots and memory.

Coordinator

Shop, studio, or practice owner

Participants

Independent providers splitting revenue or paying rent plus a cut

Data value

Automated splits, tax handoff, retention analytics, provider benchmarking, shop-level performance.

MoneyLayer gives the shop a single source of truth for provider settlement. That means fewer end-of-week arguments, cleaner year-end records, and a workflow that feels professional to the providers you want to keep.

What this looks like today

The shop owner keeps a spreadsheet or a notebook, chases providers each week for product-sales numbers and tip declarations, and runs the split in their head or in a spreadsheet. Disputes happen when a provider's memory and the shop's memory disagree.

Providers themselves are underserved. They want a clean record for taxes, clarity on what the shop thinks they owe, and a fast payout. The workflow today gives them none of that.

Where the data value lives

• Automated weekly or monthly splits with receipts on both sides.
• 1099 handoff for the shop; provider tax documents that do not have to be pieced together from screenshots.
• Retention analytics: which providers are growing, which are quietly declining.
• Provider-level benchmarking inside the shop and, optionally, across a small chain of shops.
• Shop-level performance reports a landlord, lender, or buyer will actually accept.

How MoneyLayer fits

1. Define the shop's split rules once. Rent-only, rent plus product cut, percentage of service revenue, tip handling. The rules live in MoneyLayer as the shop's contract with providers.
2. Pipe the data in from where it already lives. Booking system exports, POS totals, and provider self-report where those do not exist. The provider sees the same number the shop sees.
3. Settle weekly or monthly with a receipt. The split runs on the agreed cadence. Providers know exactly what they owe or are owed. Disputes become source reviews, not memory arguments.

Good fit / not yet

• Good fit: salons, barbershops, tattoo studios, small dental and therapy groups, med spas, fitness studios with independent trainers.
• Good fit: owners running 3 or more providers who currently settle by screenshot.
• Not yet: shops with fewer than 3 active providers where a spreadsheet still works.
• Not yet: fully W-2 employee models — the coordinator pattern is weaker when there is no split.
