Features

Everything on this page is included in every plan. It's built from a working grooming salon's system and thousands of real appointments, and we keep adding to it with the groomers who use it.

The diary

  • Day, week and year views, with a column for each groomer
  • Suggested times that leave no gaps, using how long each dog really takes
  • Working days, hours, breaks and holidays for each groomer, plus bank holidays
  • Recurring bookings – "every 6 weeks for the next 6 visits" – with any clashes shown
  • Two dogs from one house booked back to back, or side by side with two groomers
  • A warning before a day is over-booked

Prices

  • Your own treatments, priced by breed, with size and coat surcharges if you use them
  • Extras like nails, teeth and de-shedding
  • Multi-dog discounts, worked out as you book
  • One grid to set every breed's prices and times at once

Customers and dogs

  • One record per family, with every dog
  • Coat, behaviour and grooming notes, and what was done each visit
  • Health alerts – allergies, medication, vaccinations – shown when you book
  • Each customer's text and email choices recorded, as GDPR expects

Texts

  • A reminder the day before – one per family, however many dogs
  • "Due a groom" and "we've missed you" texts from each dog's usual gap
  • A full history of every text sent
  • Free texts every month on every plan, with top-ups if you need more

Online booking and deposits

  • A booking page with your name, logo and colours, for your website or social media
  • You choose the treatments, notice and groomers customers can book
  • Approve each request, or let them book straight in
  • Card deposits – yes or no, a fixed amount or a percentage – to stop no-shows

After the groom

  • Photo report cards, sent to the owner by text
  • Google review requests – at most once in a while per customer
  • A list of dogs that fit a cancelled slot, with one-tap text offers

Reports that suggest what to do

  • Regulars gone quiet, with what they used to spend
  • Breeds that regularly overrun their price
  • Takings by groomer, treatment and hour; this year against last
  • Quiet slots that keep going empty
  • How full each groomer's week is

Your business, looked after

  • Your logo and colours on every screen
  • A login for each member of staff, at no extra cost
  • Undo on every change, with a record of who did what and when
  • Nightly backups, stored in the UK
  • Download all your records as spreadsheets at any time
