Happy Friday Daily Groomers!

‍

Most grooming software gives you tools.

‍

A calendar. A client list. Online booking. Texting. Reports. Payments.

‍

All useful. But you still have to do the work.

‍

You have to click through the calendar. Find the client. Move the appointment. Add your grooming notes. Run the report. Figure out who hasn't rebooked. Send the texts. Calculate payroll. Update the booking settings.

‍

And somewhere in between all of that, you're hoping you have enough appointments on the calendar to pay the bills.

‍

How many clicks is that?

‍

Hundreds.

‍

Hours of admin every week, with way too much stress attached to it.

‍

We think that's backwards.

‍

The software should handle the business so you can focus on your clients without costing an arm and a leg.

‍

And hopefully, help you build a better business along the way.

‍

A fuller calendar. More clients coming back. Fewer empty spots. More revenue. Less time staring at a screen after the last dog goes home.

‍

Today, we're unveiling Ask Teddy.

‍

Ask Teddy is an intelligent assistant built directly into Teddy that can actually run your grooming business with you.

‍

You can type or talk to it like you'd talk to an assistant:

"Who's coming in tomorrow?"

‍

"Book Sarah and Max for Tuesday afternoon."

‍

"Text everyone we haven't seen in a while with our new promo offer."

‍

"How much revenue did we do this month?"

‍

"Run payroll for the week."

‍

And Teddy does the work.

See what happens when you Just Ask Teddy

‍
In under 3 minutes, see Teddy pull up clients, check the schedule, book appointments, send texts and handle the busywork in real time.

‍

The goal: give groomers their time back

Grooming businesses can easily lose 40+ hours every month to administrative work.

‍

Scheduling. Rescheduling. Client messages. Reminders. Reports. Payroll. Updating client records. Chasing rebooks. Managing staff calendars.

‍

That's an entire workweek every month spent managing the business instead of grooming.

‍

But getting that time back isn't only about working less.

‍

It's time you can spend taking another appointment. Growing your team. Improving the client experience. Marketing your business. Getting home earlier.

‍

Or simply having a business that doesn't need you doing admin at 9 PM to keep everything moving.

‍

More time to groom. More opportunities to grow. Less stress running the business.

‍

That's what Ask Teddy is built to give you.

‍

What can you actually ask Teddy to do?

‍

A lot.

‍

Pretty much everything you already do in your booking software. Just done for you in seconds.

‍

And if you're a little scared of big changes, that's okay too.

‍

Teddy still works like the booking software you're used to. Your calendar, clients, pets, messages, reports and settings are all still there.

‍

You can use Teddy normally and slowly start asking for a hand when you need it.

‍

Start with:

"What's on my schedule tomorrow?"

‍

Then maybe:

"Move Sarah to Friday at 2."

‍

Before long, you're asking Teddy to run payroll, find clients you haven't seen in 12 weeks, text them a promo and help fill some holes in next week's calendar.

‍

You don't have to change how you run your business overnight.

‍

Teddy is there when you want the help.

‍

Your calendar? Ask Teddy.

Ask Teddy can manage your calendar and appointments.

‍

Book an appointment. Reschedule one. Cancel one. Block off lunch. Add a vacation. See who's working. Find an opening.

‍

Instead of clicking around until you find the right screen, tell Teddy what you want:

"Book Sarah and Max for Tuesday afternoon."

‍

"Move my 2 PM appointment to Friday."

‍

"Who's free at 11 tomorrow?"

‍

"Block my calendar next Friday."

‍

Done.

‍

Because every little bit of friction matters.

‍

An empty spot in tomorrow's calendar is revenue you could have earned. A client who forgets to rebook might turn into a client you don't see for six months.

‍

Teddy helps you stay on top of both without adding more work to your day.

‍

Your clients? Ask Teddy.

Teddy already knows your clients and pets.

‍

It can pull up contact information, grooming history, pet details, notes and tags.

‍

Ask:

"Pull up everything we know about Max."

‍

"What did we do for his last groom?"

‍

"Add a note that he doesn't like his paws touched."

‍

Or use all of that client data to grow the business.

‍

"What clients haven't I seen in the last 12 weeks?"

‍

Then:

"Text everyone we haven't seen in a while with our new promo offer."

‍

Teddy finds the clients, builds the audience and sends the message.

‍

A list of old clients sitting inside your software doesn't make you any money.

‍

Getting those clients back on the calendar does.

‍

You ask. Teddy handles it. In seconds.

‍

Reports? Ask the question you actually want answered.

Reporting shouldn't mean digging through a bunch of templates just to second guess whether you're looking at the right numbers.

‍

Ask Teddy the actual question.

"How much revenue did we do this month?"

‍

"What's my busiest day?"

‍

"Which services made us the most money last month?"

‍

"What did each groomer make last week?"

‍

"How are we tracking compared to last month?"

‍

Teddy can build reports around what you want to know and export the data to Excel when you need it.

‍

No hunting for the right report. No figuring out which filters to use.

‍

Ask the question. Get the answer.

‍

And more importantly, actually understand what's happening inside your business.

‍

Are we growing? Are clients coming back? Where are the holes in the calendar? What should we be doing more of?

‍

Running a better business gets a lot easier when you can actually get answers to those questions.

‍

Payroll? Teddy can handle that too.

If your groomers are paid commission, Teddy can calculate payroll based on the work they've completed.

‍

Ask:

"Run payroll for the week."

‍

Or dig deeper:

"Show me revenue and commission by groomer for this pay period."

‍

What used to mean pulling reports, checking numbers and doing the math can happen in seconds.

‍

That's less time doing paperwork and more time building the kind of grooming business you actually wanted to own in the first place.

‍

Mobile groomer? Let Teddy plan the day.

‍

Teddy can take your day's appointments and build an optimized driving route with stop order, drive times and an interactive map.

‍

Ask: "What's the best route for my appointments tomorrow?"

‍

Less time driving back and forth means more time for appointments, more room in the schedule and less time spent sitting behind the wheel.

‍

Then get in the van and go.

‍

And that's only part of it.

Teddy can also help manage your services, pricing, add-ons, online booking settings, intake forms, agreements, staff availability, automatic messages and reminders.

‍

The important part isn't any individual feature.

‍

It's what happens when all of those little tasks stop taking up your day.

‍

Maybe you fit another dog onto the calendar.

‍

Maybe you finally start following up with clients who haven't rebooked.

‍

Maybe you understand your numbers well enough to raise your prices.

‍

Maybe you grow from yourself to your first employee.

‍

Maybe you already have a team and finally stop feeling like every little thing has to run through you.

‍

Or maybe you make the exact same amount of money you're making today and get home an hour earlier.

‍

That's a pretty good outcome too.

‍

This is where grooming software is going

For years, "better" grooming software meant adding more features.

‍

More buttons. More menus. More settings.

‍

What's this new button? Where did that feature go? Why did they make this so complicated?

‍

Eventually, all those features create another problem: you have to learn how to use them.

‍

We think the next generation looks different.

‍

The calendar still matters. The CRM still matters. Messaging, online booking, payments and reporting still matter.

‍

And it's all still there.

‍

But groomers aren't software experts.

‍

You shouldn't need to know which menu to open, which report to run, or which combination of filters gets you the answer you need.

‍

You should be able to tell your software what you want.

‍

“Book this client.”

‍

“Move this appointment.”

‍

“Add these grooming notes.”

‍

“Find everyone who's overdue.”

‍

“Text them about the new promo.”

‍

“Run payroll.”

‍

“Show me how the business is doing.”

‍

“Help me fill next week's calendar.”

‍

And then get back to grooming.

‍

Because the goal isn't better software.

‍

It's a better grooming business.

‍

More clients coming back. A healthier calendar. More revenue. More control over your time.

‍

And hopefully, a little more excitement about where your business can go next.

‍

You ask. Teddy handles it. In seconds.

‍
