Built around the pet, not the invoice

Grooming, walking, boarding, day care. QuixChex keeps a record for every pet — breed, weight, handling notes — books them in, takes the payment at the counter, and texts the owner when their dog is ready.

How an appointment runs

One Appointment, Start to Finish

The owner books in. Their pet's record already has the breed, the weight and the handling notes from last time. The groomer takes the before shot, does the work, takes the after shot, and sends the pickup notice. Payment is taken at the register, and the next appointment is set for six weeks out.

The dog comes in
The record is already there — breed, weight, and the note that says he does not like the dryer. Nobody asks twice.
The groomer sends the reveal
Before and after go to the owner the moment he is finished, which is the part they actually tell their friends about.
Payment and the next visit happen together
The card on file is charged and he is booked back in for six weeks while the owner is still at the counter.

Happy dog. Delighted owner. Rebooked and paid.

Size, Handling and the Reveal

You price by size, so size has to be a field

Every pet has weight and breed on file as real data, not a note somebody typed in the margin. A 62lb golden and a 9lb terrier price differently.

The handling notes matter more than the booking

“Nervous with clippers, prefers the quiet room” lives on the pet's record, so whoever takes the appointment next already knows.

Owners want the reveal, and they want it now

Snap a before and after, then send the pickup notice — the owner gets a message that their dog is ready and looking fabulous.

FAQ

Questions, Answered

Is this for a pet shop or a grooming business?

A service business — groomers, dog walkers, boarding and kennels, day care, mobile grooming. The customer is the pet owner and the pet is what gets booked in. It's not a retail catalogue system.

Can one owner have several pets?

Yes. Pets belong to the owner, each with their own breed, weight, photo and handling notes, and each gets booked separately.

Do I get a crew map like the field trades?

Not by default, because a grooming salon doesn't need one — your account only switches on what your trade uses. If you run mobile grooming and want it, it can be turned on.

Does the pickup notice go out as a text?

No, it's an email. One tap sends it with the before and after shots in the body, and it needs an address on the owner's record or there's nowhere for it to land. Nothing in QuixChex sends a text message — that part is still your phone.

Can I bring my existing client list over?

Yes. Upload a CSV, or a PDF that has real text in it rather than a scan, and you say which column is the name, which is the phone and so on. Rows that won't take come back listed with what was wrong, so you fix those and leave the rest alone. It brings the client records across, not the appointments they've already had.

Can I look somebody up by the dog's name?

Yes. Search runs across the client record — the owner's name, their phone, their email and the dog's name — and it runs on the server, so it reaches the whole list and not just the rows already on screen. When an owner has three dogs, searching Pepper brings Pepper to the front of the row instead of the other two.
