Solutions · Grooming salons
Grooming software built for busy salons
Keep tables full, groomers focused, and pet parents in the loop—without running your day from sticky notes, spreadsheets, and text threads.
Run your whole salon from one clean dashboard
Packyard is built around the real workflow of multi-groomer salons, not generic appointment books.
Kanban schedule for every table
See your day as it really runs: scheduled, checked-in, in progress, ready for pickup, and completed—across all groomers and tables.
Online booking on your terms
Let pet parents book 24/7 while you keep control over which services, staff, and time slots are available.
Shared inbox for client messages
Centralize SMS and email so your team isn’t juggling conversations on their personal phones.
Square-powered checkout at the front desk
Build tickets from appointments, add retail, capture tips, and close out the day with totals that actually match.
Deep client and pet history
Family accounts, pet profiles, notes, photos, behavior flags, and vaccination records in one place.
Staff visibility and performance
See which groomers are booked, who’s overloaded, and which services actually make you money.
Designed around how grooming salons actually run
From the morning rush to the last pickup, Packyard keeps your day on rails.
Keep the salon busy,
without burning the team out
Start of day: clear plan
Open Packyard and see every appointment, groomer, and table laid out in a Kanban view. Spot overbooked hours, gaps, and high-value clients at a glance.
Mid-day: controlled chaos
Check-in pets, move them through in-progress and ready-for-pickup stages, handle walk-ins, and reshuffle appointments with drag-and-drop instead of whiteboard edits.
End of day: clean close
Review revenue, tips, and staff workload. Confirm that Square payouts line up with Packyard orders and call it a day—no manual reconciliation marathon.
Every day: consistent experience
Keep notes, photos, and preferred cuts per pet so clients get the same result they loved last time, even if they see a different groomer.
Built for owners who want control,
and teams who want clarity
Handle walk-ins and regulars without chaos
Mark walk-ins clearly, squeeze them into realistic slots, and rebook your best clients before they leave. Everyone sees who’s in the building and who’s on the way.
Protect your time and revenue
Use deposits, cards on file, and clear policies to cut down on no-shows and last-minute cancellations without endless back-and-forth.
Give front desk and groomers one source of truth
Front desk sees the full schedule and payment status. Groomers see notes, photos, and special instructions. No more “did anyone call this client back?”
Grow without losing control
As you add more tables, groomers, or locations, Packyard scales with you—same process, more capacity.

Grooming salon FAQs
What owners usually ask before they roll the whole shop onto Packyard.
How many groomers and tables can Packyard handle?
Packyard is built for everything from solo groomers to busy multi-table salons and multi-location businesses. You can add as many staff and resources as your plan allows and adjust as you grow.
Can Packyard handle walk-ins and last-minute reshuffling?
Yes. You can add walk-ins, move appointments between groomers or tables, and update statuses in real time so everyone sees the same picture of the day.
Does Packyard support separate front desk and groomer views?
You can control access by role. Front desk can manage bookings, payments, and communication, while groomers see the pets they’re responsible for with the notes they need.
Will my team need a lot of training?
Most salons find that Packyard matches how they already think about the day—check-in, in progress, pickup, complete. After a short onboarding, most staff are comfortable within a few shifts.
Can I keep my existing Square setup?
Yes. You keep the same Square account, payouts, and terminals. Packyard connects on top so you don’t have to change banks or retrain your clients on how to pay.
