Before you accept a grooming booking
Know what you're taking on before you accept.
Ask about the coat and handling, check past visits and allow enough time. Accept bookings that suit your team instead of finding the problem at drop-off.

02 / What you can do
What to check before confirming
Keep the details with the booking so your team can see what's been agreed and what to do next.
Ask about the dog, not only the service
Choose pet questions about size, coat, last groom and handling. Get details a service name alone won't tell you.
Start the quote from what is known
Set how pet details change the price and time booked. You can still discuss a revised quote if the coat is different at arrival.
Check who and what is available
Only offer times with a suitable groomer and the help and equipment your service needs.
Accept, ask a question or decline
Approve work that fits. Ask for missing information when the risk is unclear. Decline when the dog or work belongs somewhere else.

See how it works →04 / Questions groomers ask
Can an owner book more than one pet?
Yes. Customers can book several dogs together, with a separate service, pet details and visit history for each dog.
Can size or coat change the grooming time or price?
Yes. Set extra time or a different price for size, coat or breed. Customers see the options that match the details they give you.
Does the booking check assistants and equipment too?
Yes. Add any assistant time and equipment your service needs, so a free groomer alone doesn't make a time available.
Can the AI receptionist use the same rules?
Yes. It works from your actual service menu, pricing and policies, then books directly into the same calendar rather than a separate inbox.
