This Is Not Complete — But Still Let Me Know What You Think!!!
Before we get started keep in mind all the colors and wording can be change to suite your needs, Ok!. A couple of things is really obvious right out of the gate! The contact details:
*Owners Full Name
*Cell Phone (for texting)
*2nd Phone (Optional)
This is a great opportunity to upsell! The pick up and drop off is a done deal for me! Personally, this is how I would do it every time!
- *Neighborhood, List to be provided
- Gate Code (if any)
*Session Frequency
- Weekly
- Bi-Weekly
- Monthly
- Bi-Monthly
- As Needed
- One Time Only
- Not Sure Yet
Finding out when someone is available during MOST Weekdays is a good option to keep. So Check ALL That Apply)
*Your Availability
- Mornings for the early raiser
- Afternoons for those need to sleep in like nurses
- Evenings for those that have long days
- Fluctuates and this one for me as my schedule is always moving!
For the most convenience the While-Away Option is a genius Appointments. Once the groomer get to meet you and familiarize themselves with your pet(s), they can do it all while you are away at work or even just at the store, using the access provided by you (a door/garage code, hidden key, etc) they can get in take your pet for a relaxing day of fun and pampering, asks the many customers who have been benefiting from this for years and it works out great. Pets are happy and the Pet Owners are HAPPY!

My Takeaway:
I thought this would have been very simple creating from to do all this. But oh my, was wrong, It's very complicated, and I am enjoying the journey to figuring this Project out! What I have noticed over the years when I make a bid on this I want to delivery a working product and professional support!
My Recommendation:
It would have been easier to build a chat bot to do all the calculation and more so a chatbot would always remember each user preference and can then be use o send out reminders, collect feedback and money for the gromers. Why people refused to use technology baffles me! But I digress :)
