Features
Welcome to the Barkway toolbox. Every feature here is designed to make running your grooming business smoother - from filling your diary to keeping every client & pet detail tidy.
Less admin, more paws on the table. 🐾
What you’ll find here
- Bookings - create, view, and track appointments with statuses that power your calendar and reports.
- Clients - manage contact details, preferences, and client balance.
- Pets - store profiles with breeds, notes, quirks, and photos so every groom feels familiar.
- Calendar - see your week or month at a glance, with status colours and quick access to bookings.
- Invoices & payments - auto-created invoices, downloadable PDFs, and clean payment tracking.
- Deposits - take deposits and apply client balance to bookings.
- Notifications - automated email reminders, thank-yous, and recall nudges.
- Users & roles - give the right people the right access, from admins to groomers.
- Settings - tweak Barkway to match your workflow (hours, reminders, deposits, and more).
Card payments and SMS reminders are not live yet. We plan to revisit both later; SMS will likely be a paid add-on, but it is not a priority right now.
