<h2>The Mobile Groomer Problem: You're Missing Revenue</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Stop missing client calls while you're on the road. Most grooming software requires WiFi, a fixed location, and desk time. You have none of those.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>You're juggling appointments, payments, and customer records from your van. Your phone rings. A client wants to book. You're three miles from cell service. You text back—when you have signal. They book with someone else instead.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>You're losing 2–4 hours a week to this chaos. That's $12,000–16,000 in annual revenue.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>What you're actually dealing with:</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Appointment info on scraps of paper</li>
|
||
<li>Client calls mid-route you can't reference</li>
|
||
<li>Credit card processing that takes 10% of your tips</li>
|
||
<li>No-show reminders you can't send from the road</li>
|
||
<li>End-of-day paperwork that takes longer than the grooming</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2>How GroomBook Works for Mobile Groomers</h2>
|
||
|
||
<h3>1. Clients book 24/7 — you don't miss a call</h3>
|
||
<p>Your client portal is live 24/7. Clients book at 11 PM from home. You don't interrupt your work to answer the phone. Revenue doesn't wait for you to stop grooming.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>2. Works completely offline</h3>
|
||
<p>GroomBook is a Progressive Web App. Install it on your phone, and it works with or without signal. Pull up Mrs. Johnson's doodle's notes, health history, and preferred cut—even when you're three miles from the nearest cell tower.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>3. Check in and charge on-site</h3>
|
||
<p>Record services, add notes, process payment via card reader—all while the dog is still on your table. No "invoice later" workflows. No spreadsheets.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>4. Everything syncs automatically</h3>
|
||
<p>When you're back in range, all changes sync to your server instantly. All your data lives on servers you control, not a third-party SaaS.</p>

<h2>Pricing & Data Ownership</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p><strong>GroomBook: Free.</strong> No monthly fee. No per-groomer fee. No cut of your bookings.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>You own GroomBook, fully. Open source, AGPL-3.0 license. Host it on a $10/month VPS, your old laptop in the van, or a Raspberry Pi at home. Your server, your data, your rules.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>SaaS alternatives cost $150–300/month, lock you in, still don't work offline, and disappear if the company shuts down. GroomBook doesn't disappear. You own it.</p>

<h2>FAQ</h2>
|
||
|
||
<dl class="faq">
|
||
<dt>Does it work without internet?</dt>
|
||
<dd>Yes. The PWA caches your data locally. You can view appointments, client records, and take notes offline. Changes sync when you reconnect.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt>What if I lose my phone?</dt>
|
||
<dd>Your data is on your server, not your phone. Install GroomBook on a new device, log in, and everything is there.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt>How do I accept credit cards?</dt>
|
||
<dd>GroomBook includes a built-in POS. Connect a card reader (Stripe Terminal or similar) or record cash/check payments manually.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt>Can I use this alongside my existing software?</dt>
|
||
<dd>Yes — many groomers start with GroomBook for new client intake while keeping existing systems for historical data during a transition period.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt>Do I need technical skills to set it up?</dt>
|
||
<dd>Basic Docker knowledge is enough. <code>docker compose up</code> gets you running in 5 minutes. Full Kubernetes setup for advanced users.</dd>
