Each one shows the screen it is about, running on demo data.
23. Reporting: settling the day, the fees, and who is overdueDay View splits a day's takings by how each payment arrived, so the drawer and the screen agree. Matching a month to the bank is a different job, and it uses a different number.Lesson3 min read · Owner or manager26. Courses and classes end to endA template decides the shape, a course is one intake of it, and the two are edited in different places. That split explains most course questions.Lesson3 min read · Owner or trainer36. Multi-location and organisationsA second site is a second business account with its own calendar, team and clients. One thing sits above them both, and it is the bill.Lesson2 min read · Owner109. A puppy course template, week by weekThe occurrence count creates the session rows, and the titles you put on them ride out on every booking confirmation. The age window is set somewhere else entirely.Lesson3 min read · Owner or trainer

A run of lessons that answers one whole job, in the order to take them.
Getting paidEvery way money comes in, and where it goes afterwards. Connect the account, take it at the counter or by link, then reconcile what landed in the bank.Track7 lessonsGrowingThe features that add revenue once the calendar is steady. Packages and plans first, because they change what a quiet week looks like.Track7 lessonsThe Owner's trackEverything an owner has to decide rather than delegate, in the order the decisions come up. Twelve lessons, and the account is set the way you meant it.Track12 lessonsThe Trainer's trackCourses and intakes first, because a trainer sells a plan rather than an hour. Then the forms, the credits and the messages that keep a cohort together.Track6 lessonsThe Manager's trackWho can do what, whose hours the calendar runs on, and the numbers you are asked about on a Monday. For the person running the floor without owning it.Track6 lessonsGrowing, 2 to 8The point where the calendar stops being yours alone. Capacity, who can see what, and the board everybody works off in the morning.Track5 lessonsFill the quiet daysFind who has stopped coming, message them, and give them a reason to book the Tuesday nobody wants. Five clips and a quiet week looks different.Track5 lessonsHand it overA new manager, or a sale. What the other person needs access to, what they need to understand, and the login you do not share.Track5 lessonsThe Training trackCourses are the spine of a training book, so they come first, then the intake and the money. Levels are the part people run by memory until the third intake, and that is where it stops working.Track7 lessonsThe Puppy School trackAn intake fills on what happens in it, so the template and its weekly titles lead. Then the age window, the forms and the reminders that get six owners into a hall on the same Wednesday.Track6 lessonsThe Multi-service trackGrooming, boarding and daycare out of one book is one book with a category on every service. Categories first, because the calendar and the reporting both read them, then what each line is actually constrained by.Track6 lessonsMulti-siteWhat a second location owns on its own, and what head office owns instead. Then the three things that stop at a location boundary: roles, package balances and capacity.Track4 lessonsScalingMore staff, more sites, more rules. The point where the settings stop being yours to remember and have to be written into the account.Track6 lessonsScaling, 8 and upA team big enough that nobody sees the whole day. Permissions, capacity, the views that let each person find their own part of it, and the numbers that tell you which site is working.Track5 lessonsDoing the booksFor whoever reconciles. What the day took, how a cash or bank-transfer booking gets marked off, the two ways money goes back, and what leaves for the accountant.Track7 lessons
