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).
note

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.

Pro tips

  • Start with Bookings - it’s the heart of your day-to-day.
  • Add Clients and Pets early - the more info you capture, the smoother each booking is.
  • Don’t skip Deposits and Reminders - they’re your secret weapons against no-shows.

✨ Barkway isn’t just software - it’s the backstage crew that keeps your grooming business running smoothly while you focus on the furry stars.
