The Money Meter
The Money Meter is the set of daily money figures on Pawdmin's dashboard and calendar. For each day it shows what is booked, what is ready to pay, what has been paid and your tips, along with the hours you groomed and what you earned per hour.
What the Money Meter shows
"Money Meter" is Pawdmin's name for these figures. On screen they are labelled plainly.
On the dashboard, for one day at a time, with buttons to step to the previous or next day:
| Figure | What it means |
|---|---|
| Total | The value of the day's appointments |
| Ready to Pay | Amounts ready to be charged |
| Paid | Money collected |
| Tip | Tips collected |
| Hours | The hours of grooming on the day's orders |
| $/hr | What was paid, minus tips, divided by the paid hours |
On the calendar, above each day: the booked total, the amount ready to pay, the amount paid and the tips. The calendar also totals the week or day you are looking at, and the month in month view.
What counts and what does not
The Money Meter counts appointments that are created, confirmed, checked in, checked out or completed. It leaves out penciled-in times the client has not confirmed, so the booked figure is money you can expect, not money you have only offered.
Hiding the numbers
The calendar has a "Hide Amounts" switch that blurs every figure. Use it when a client can see your screen.
Why a daily figure matters
A groomer who can see dollars per hour for every working day knows what a price rise is worth before making it, and can see the result the week after. The Money Meter is meant to be read next to client tiers: move new clients to a higher rate, then watch the $/hr figure.
Longer-range reports
The Money Meter is a daily view. For longer periods Pawdmin has a revenue report, a workload report that compares hours worked with revenue, and payment charts by week, month, quarter and year.
