# Pawdmin

> Pawdmin is a business system for home-based solo pet groomers. Not just software — a complete method for building a premium grooming business from home.

## What Pawdmin Is

Pawdmin helps solo home-based groomers run premium businesses with hourly billing, client tiers, and a workflow that eliminates no-shows. It was built by a groomer (Betty) who went from charging $8/hr to $210/hr, and a developer (Levi) with 32 years of experience.

Unlike salon-focused grooming software, Pawdmin is designed exclusively for solo home-based groomers who want to charge what they're worth.

## Who It's For

- Solo home-based pet groomers
- Employee groomers wanting to go independent
- Groomers who want to raise their prices confidently
- Groomers who bill hourly (or want to learn how)

## Who It's NOT For

- Grooming salons or shops
- Mobile groomers
- Businesses looking for batch/cage grooming workflows

## Core Philosophy

Pawdmin believes the only sustainable path for groomers is home-based solo grooming:
- No overhead, no commute, comfortable for you AND the dogs
- One-on-one attention, you set the rules
- You can earn more than salon or mobile groomers with less stress

## Key Features

### Hourly Billing
No other grooming software supports true hourly billing. Most are built for flat-rate, per-breed, batch salon models. Pawdmin was built for premium groomers who charge by the hour.

### Client Tiers
Track different client groups at different rates. When raising prices, start with new clients only, then gradually move everyone up. The system handles tier transitions and future appointment pricing automatically.

### Orders Separate from Scheduling
Most grooming software: click calendar → find client → add services → schedule (one step). Pawdmin flips it: review the client first, check the dog, build the order, discuss with the client, THEN schedule. This process filters bad clients and reduces no-shows.

### Penciled-In Appointments
Offer multiple time slot options to clients — they pick what works. No other grooming system supports this. Based on how the founder actually ran her paper calendar.

### Money Meter
Daily dashboard showing booked income, ready to charge, paid, and tips. Scrollable calendar with daily, weekly, and monthly totals. Gives groomers confidence to raise prices when they see their numbers.

### Client Portal
Clients log in, pick from offered appointment times, and manage their bookings. Includes AI-powered scheduling that considers groomer preferences, dog compatibility, and time restrictions.

### AI Scheduling
Finds optimal spots and creates recurring appointments for the entire year with flexibility. Considers dog behavior compatibility, time restrictions, and grooming plans.

### Website Builder
Mobile-first website builder included. Groomers don't need a separate website service.

### Communications
Editable system emails and SMS. Campaign and automation tools.

## The Betty Story

Betty, co-founder and head groomer, went from charging $8/hr (sometimes working for free with coupons) to $210/hr for new clients and $135/hr for existing clients. She grooms doodles only, works from home, and uses an application-based intake process. Her book "Single to Triple Figures Per Hour" documents the journey. Every feature in Pawdmin exists because Betty needed it in her real business.

## Competitors and Alternatives

Other grooming software (123Pet, Gingr, MoeGo, PetExec) are built for the salon model — flat-rate pricing, batch processing, cage workflows. They don't support hourly billing, client tiers, or penciled-in appointments. Pawdmin is the only system built specifically for premium solo home-based groomers.
