In Gingr, Grooming services are set up as Additional Services. Services like a Full Groom, Mini Groom, Face Feet & Fanny, Bath & Brush, etc. are all set up as Additional Services, not reservation types. Then, any add-on options that are available for these services, for example, Nail Trim, Ear Cleaning, Gland Expression, Teeth Brushing, etc., will bet set up as Service Options.

Before You Begin

• If you have not yet, take a moment to list out the Grooming services you offer and how they fit into this concept of Top Level Services and Add-On Services.
  
  
• You should already have a reservation type that is generically called “Grooming Services” and we will now create the specific type of grooming services that will be scheduled with that reservation type.

Set Up Grooming Services

1. Navigate to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » Reservation Types and Services Configuration.
   
   
2. Locate your Grooming Services booking category and reservation type.
   
   
   
   
3. Select Manage Services.
   
   
4. Select Create a new Additional Service.
   
   
5. Configure the following fields:
   
   
   • Name: Enter the name of this grooming service.
     
     
     • We recommend having a naming scheme for your services. For example “Grooming Service | Full Groom” and “Grooming Service | Bath & Brush” both start with “Grooming Services” to easily categorize and view your services.
       
       
   • Allowed Locations: Select which location(s) this service can be added for.
     
     
   • Description: Input the description of this service as you would want to brand or describe it to your customers.
     
     
     • If you have variable pricing based on breed, weight, coat, etc, then we recommend adding a table to the description to easily categorize your starting prices for customers.
       
       
   • Apply Tax: Set to yes if this service should have tax charged.
     
     
   • Is scheduled: Set to Appointment Based and fill in the fields below:
     
     
     • Duration: the average duration of this service (if the duration varies, set the most common duration). Enter this number in minutes.
       
       
     • Interval: set the frequency that you want appointment times to display. For example, an interval of 30 minutes would allow a service to be scheduled at 9:00, 9:30, 10:00, etc.
       
       
     • Default Start Time: In military time, set the earliest possible time that this service can be scheduled.
       
       
   • Auto Charge Last Time: Set this to yes if this is a variably priced service.
     
     
     • Gingr will allow you to set the price for a pet and Gingr will remember that price for the next time a pet comes in.
       
       
   • Frequency Options: Add any needed frequency options for this service.
     
     
     • Typically a frequency of Once is all that is needed for Grooming services.
       
       
6. Save your changes by selecting Create.
   
   
7. Repeat for any other grooming services you offer.
