Barkway

Features

The bits a groomer needs. Connected properly.

Barkway is not a pile of modules. The diary, the dog, the client, the money and the next visit all belong to the same workflow.

Your diary

A calendar that behaves like a grooming calendar.

See the day, the week and the appointment status without forcing grooming work into a generic meeting calendar.

  • Daily and weekly views
  • Appointment status
  • Fast rescheduling
  • Opening hours and buffers

Finding a slot

Smart Scheduler™ does the mental calendar maths.

Barkway suggests sensible spaces using service duration, your opening hours, buffers and the appointments already in the diary.

  • Useful slot suggestions
  • Service-duration aware
  • Respects existing appointments
  • Built for real working hours

The dog

Pet history stays useful, not buried.

Keep the details that make the next groom easier: behaviour, allergies, preferences, notes, photos and previous visits.

  • Pet and client profiles
  • Behaviour and allergy notes
  • Grooming history
  • Multiple pets per client

The appointment

Know what is happening without keeping it all in your head.

Bookings move through a clear workflow so scheduled, in-progress, completed and follow-up work stays visible.

  • Clear booking status
  • Connected appointment notes
  • Less mental tracking
  • Cleaner team handover

The money

Invoices and balances belong next to the work that created them.

Require a deposit before an online request reaches you, then apply it to the booking when you accept. Track invoices and the remaining balance beside the appointment.

  • Invoices
  • Deposits and balances
  • Portal card payments with Stripe
  • Charge a saved card after a no-show

The next visit

Reminders handle the nudge. Recalls keep regulars visible.

Reduce repetitive chasing before appointments and make overdue repeat clients obvious when it is time to follow up.

  • Automated email and SMS reminders
  • Recall tracking
  • Overdue follow-up
  • Less repetitive admin

For clients

Useful self-service without losing control of the diary.

Share your booking link on Instagram, your website or elsewhere. New clients verify their email and enter the portal without you adding them first. You review each request before confirming.

  • Requests and confirmed bookings
  • Pets and client details
  • Invoice payments by card
  • Documents to review and sign
