Summary
In Gingr, you set up Areas and Lodgings to organize where animals stay.
What This Does
An Area is a room or building in your facility that holds Lodgings. If your facility has one room with Lodgings, you can create one Area, such as Boarding Room.
A Lodging is a specific kennel, run, pen, crate, or suite where an animal stays in an Area. For example, an Area called Suites can have the Lodgings Suite 1, Suite 2, and Suite 3.
You choose Lodgings when you schedule a reservation type that needs lodging, such as Boarding. Gingr books the Lodging when you schedule the reservation. If your facility is cage free and does not use enclosures, you can skip creating Lodgings.
Field Guide
| Setting | Description | Helpful Hint |
| Label | This phrase shows in the cart and on the customer's receipt. | Use a label like "Luxury Room Transfer" or "Standard Room Transfer." |
| Type | The type of rule you use. Gingr creates rule types, and each has its own set of parameters that you cannot customize. This list changes over time as Gingr adds new rules. | Select the Lodging Type. |
| Value | Shows when the rule applies. The Value depends on the rule. | Use the Lodging Type tag linked to a different room with a different nightly rate. |
| Method | Shows how the surcharge or discount applies. Options are Dollar Amount, Percentage, Service, or Reservation Type. | Choose Reservation Type. |
| Amount/Service | Shows how much you want to surcharge or discount, or which service the customer gets. This field changes between "amount" and "service" based on the discount method. | Choose the duplicated Reservation Type for the other room types you selected as the Lodging Type. For example, if you choose Standard Room as the Lodging Type, select Standard | Room Transfer as the Reservation Type. If you choose the Boarding Standard reservation type, the system loops while it works out the room cost, and the rules do not work. |
Settings
Tip: Contact Gingr Support to turn on Lodging Weight Variance in your app.
| Setting | Description |
| Lodging weight variance | Enter a number to set the percentage of a pet's weight that the Lodging system allows as a variance. For example, if you enter 25 for 25% and a pet weighs 50 lbs, the system shows lodgings with a maximum weight between 36 and 63 lbs. If a lodging has a maximum weight of 80 lbs, the variance lets the system show lodgings with a maximum weight close to 80 lbs. |
