Dog Grooming & Kennels Manager

Overview

Grooming, boarding and day care each make money in a different way – grooming by the hour on the table, boarding by the kennel-night, day care by the dog-day – and all three are hit by no-shows, staff costs and the rules in your animal activity licence. This workbook keeps your price list, clients, dogs and every booking in one place. It prices each booking automatically from the dog's size and coat or the kennel type, tracks deposits, no-shows and balances, blocks any stay that the dog's vaccinations don't cover, shows who is in which kennel each night, checks the number of dogs against your licensed maximum and staffing ratios, works out wages and groomer productivity, spots lapsed grooming clients, and produces a monthly profit and loss account and a dashboard.
