Betty's story
From $8/hr to $210/hr. Same town. Same dogs.
I started where you are — undercharging, overworking, afraid to raise prices. I was giving away coupons that sometimes meant working for free. Then I changed one thing: I stopped charging per dog and started charging what my time was worth. Today I work 6 hours a day, 4 days a week, from home. My worst day pays more than my best day used to. No software supported the way I worked. So I built one. ~ Betty
Sound familiar?
"I work 10 hours and barely clear $300"
You're exhausted but the math doesn't add up.
"I haven't raised prices in 2 years"
You know you should. But what if they leave?
"I spent Sunday night juggling next week's schedule"
Freedom was the whole point. This isn't it.
"My software thinks I run a salon"
Every tool was built for someone else.
Built different. On purpose.
Pawdmin wasn't designed for salons and retrofitted for you. It was built by a solo groomer who needed something that didn't exist.
