Booking errors — wrong groomer, wrong time, missing behaviour flags — create problems that surface later. This template gives whoever handles bookings a reliable sequence to follow so that every appointment is entered correctly, confirmed with the client, and ready for the team the next morning.
Use it for every new booking.
Always check the system before quoting availability. Times quoted from memory cause double-bookings. We believe in "single source of truth"(s), and the booking calendar is that single source for appointments.
Enter the booking before you end the conversation. Notes left to fill in later rarely get filled in. An incomplete booking at the start of the day creates confusion for everyone opening up.
Rebook at checkout. A client who leaves with their next appointment already booked is significantly more likely to return on schedule. Make the offer every single time, most clients will say yes if you ask.
