Your diary software handles the diary. This is what happens when the dog actually walks through the door — check in on the screen, add extras, and go home with a Polaroid. Working prototype, running right here in your browser.
Tap anywhere to start. Use 07700 900118 as the mobile number — it's a returning customer with two dogs on file.
The check-in screen
An iPad at reception. The owner does it themselves while you're still finishing the dog in the chair — and every tap lands on the right profile.
The mobile number is the account. Today's booking, the dog's notes, the nervous-with-the-dryer flag — all on screen before they've taken their coat off.
Nail trim, teeth clean, blueberry facial — tapped by the customer, not pitched by you. It lands on today's bill and saves to the dog's profile, so next visit it's one tap.
A photo at check-in, sent to their phone and printable at the desk. It costs pennies, it goes on the fridge, and it ends up on their story with your name on it.
The customer side
The same prototype, from the customer's phone. One number, one profile — no "continue as guest" sitting next to "create an account", which is how one customer quietly becomes four records and three of them never get a reminder.
Pick a service, choose a dog and a slot, then enter 07700 900118 — it recognises the number before you've finished typing it.
The salon side
Booking is two jobs, not one: the customer booking themselves, and you booking someone in over the phone. This is the second. Day plan, one-tap statuses, and a deposit taken by text without anyone reaching for a card machine.
Open Bella at 13:00 and move her through the day — the status that says "ready" is the text her owner has been waiting for. Or hit New booking and search Sarah.
Where it goes next
Real service list, real durations, real deposit rules — and your branding instead of the placeholder name on this one.
Confirmation, 24-hour reminder, ready-for-collection and overdue-groom nudges, sent automatically from the booking.
Card deposits at booking, balance on the day, and the retail add-ons from check-in all on one bill.
Customers, pets and history come across from the current system — including merging the duplicate records it has already created.

We're a UK studio that builds apps and platforms for small businesses. We already run CaliSpot — a live map-based community app on both stores with 2,000+ users — so none of this is theoretical. Demos are free; you only pay once you've seen it working.
