ModuleFest Pet Groomer - Pet Grooming Business Manager

Built for grooming salons and mobile groomers. The question a groomer answers more than any other is how long a dog will take and what to charge for it. The honest answer depends on the coat, not the weight: two cockapoos of the same size can be an hour apart if one is silk-coated and the other is matted wool. ModuleFest Pet Groomer includes a coat and clip library that prices and times every groom from the dog's coat, with eight coat types ready to use, a per-coat time multiplier and surcharge, and breed-to-coat suggestions. Also included: a body map for warts and sensitive spots, before-and-after photo galleries and vaccination tracking. It is a complete booking and client system for a grooming business: bookings, clients, pets, invoicing and payments in one WordPress install the business owns outright, behind an installable, mobile-first staff app and a self-service customer portal. It shows only the fields a groomer actually needs — coat types, breed pricing, a body map and before-and-after galleries — rather than a general-purpose system you have to prune. What you get

• Bookings and calendar — drag-and-drop diary, recurring visits, availability rules and a booking editor that fits on a phone
• Clients and pets — full history, per-pet care profiles, vaccination compliance and an interactive body map
• Invoicing and payments — deposits, scheduled auto-invoicing, statements you send or print, PDF and print output, and card payments through Stripe if you want them
• Customer portal — clients book, cancel, reschedule and pay themselves, without emailing you
• Installable app — works on any phone with no app store: the day's dogs in order, photos and report cards, and it keeps working when the signal does not
• Import and export — bring your existing clients in with a guided wizard; take everything with you whenever you like
• Your branding — branded login and booking pages with QR codes
• Demo data you can load and remove, so you can see the system working before you use it

Everything here is free Everything this plugin contains is free to use in full, for as long as you like. Nothing is limited, counted or timed, and nothing stops working after a while. A separate paid plugin, ModuleFest Pet Groomer Pro, is available from our website for businesses that want more: reminders and newsletters, statements that send themselves, packages and sale prices, finance reports and a report builder, mileage, accounting integrations, team members with rotas and commission, a round planner, customer segments, waiting lists, loyalty cards, automations and website designs. You never need it to run your business on this plugin, and this plugin never downloads or installs anything. More from ModuleFest We make free WordPress plugins for small businesses.

All of them are on our WordPress.org profile, and there is more about us at modulefest.com. Source code Everything in this plugin is shipped as its original, human-readable source. Nothing is compiled, bundled, transpiled or minified, and there is no build step: the files you install are the files we edit.

• The staff app is pwa/js/app.js (with pwa/js/passkey.js), written by hand and kept as one file so it works offline without a loader. Its comments are left in.
• The customer booking wizard is assets/js/pc-customer-wizard.js.
• Styles are plain CSS in assets/css/, admin/css/ and pwa/css/.

1. In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New, search for ModuleFest Pet Groomer, and press Install then Activate. (Or upload the zip under Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.) The plugin's slug and folder are modulefest-petgroomer.
2. Open ModuleFest Pet Groomer in the admin menu. The first time, it opens Getting started, which is already set up for grooming, so it never asks which trade you run.
3. Add a treatment or two, add a client and their dog, and make your first booking.
4. When you are ready to take bookings from customers, use Settings → General → Quick start to create the booking page and a QR code you can share.

Nothing needs an account or a connection to anything. If you would like to see the system with data in it first, load the demo data under Tools → Demo data and remove it again when you are done.
