The Grooming track

Lanes and size tiers first, because that is what a grooming book runs on, then the day itself and the record you leave behind on each dog.

In order

  1. 1Schedules and Sessions, part 2 - resources and capacityA resource has its own hours and its own capacity, and a service ignores it entirely until you link the two. This is why a daycare set to 3 still shows a fourth spot.3 min read · Owner
  2. 2Pricing that runs itself: size bands, special-day rates, multi-pet and long staysA price nobody expected is nearly always a rule somebody set once. Three of them cover most of it: the size of the pet, the day it falls on, and how much of you the booking uses.4 min read · Owner
  3. 3Notes, alerts and report cards: what the owner seesA booking carries three separate note boxes and only one of them reaches the owner. The report card is built from that one, and from the photos attached to it.3 min read · Owner or front desk
  4. 4Booking rules: prerequisites, eligibility, notice and cancellationsA rule set once and forgotten is still running. Three tabs on the service decide who can book, how far ahead, and what a late cancellation costs.4 min read · Owner
  5. 5A day in Mission Control: check-in, the run sheet and Ready to PayReady to Pay is a status, not a payment screen. Every card on the board moves one column to the right, and the way back is on the card rather than the board.4 min read · Owner or front desk
  6. 6Checkout, receipts, refunds and creditsThe method you pick at checkout decides how you undo it later. A card charge refunds, a payment you marked yourself un-marks, and an unpaid invoice voids.3 min read · Owner or front desk
  7. 7Recurring bookings, from the first one to the lastOne pattern creates the whole run, and one optional date decides whether a break is a pause or an ending. Changing the days replaces the series rather than editing it.4 min read · Owner or manager
  8. 8Editing a booking, and changing prices on bookings you already haveA price rise moves your catalogue. Bookings already in the diary keep the price they were confirmed at until something moves them, and by default nothing does.3 min read · Owner or manager
