Setup assistant
Get your grooming setup organized without starting from a blank screen.
Tell OpenDog how your grooming business already works. Setup help can prepare draft services, intake questions, website/request copy, import maps, route basics, payment notes, and a launch checklist for you to review before anything important changes.
- Draft services before changing live setup
- Review import rows before creating records
- Manual setup is still available
Setup preview
Check the details before you trust them.
Bring over a small sample, see what is ready, and fix anything missing before client and pet details become part of your day.
Start with the business you already run.
Use your current service list, client and pet sample rows, weekly hours, service area, van or staff details, payment preferences, and website notes. OpenDog keeps those pieces together so setup feels less like starting over.
- Services, prices, durations, and add-ons can become a draft menu.
- Client and pet samples can become an import map for review.
- Schedule, route, website, payment, and launch notes stay in setup until you are ready.
Turn rough notes into a cleaner first draft.
Setup help can organize the details that usually sit in texts, spreadsheets, notes, and memory. It can suggest service wording, intake questions, request-page copy, route-day defaults, payment notes, reminder wording, and launch next steps.
- Drafts are meant to save time, not make decisions for you.
- You can edit or ignore suggestions before using them.
- Manual setup remains available if you prefer to enter details yourself.
You approve what changes.
OpenDog does not publish a website, import client and pet rows, send customer messages, turn on Stripe payments, or change a live schedule just because setup help made a suggestion. Important changes wait for review and the available action in that part of the account.
FAQ
Common questions from grooming businesses.
Does the setup assistant run my business for me?
No. It helps prepare setup drafts. You decide what to use, edit, apply, publish, send, import, or ignore.
What can it help me prepare?
It can help with service menus, import maps, business profile details, schedule and route basics, website/request-page copy, payment setup notes, reminder wording, support notes, and launch checklists.
Can it import my clients and pets automatically?
No. Import help prepares a map and preview from the sample you provide. Customer and pet records are added only after the ready rows are reviewed and confirmed.
Can it publish my website or turn on payments?
No. Website publishing, custom-domain help, Stripe payments, deposits, saved cards, and live billing each have their own setup and review steps.
Are text reminders live?
Email confirmations and reminders are live from the appointment workflow. SMS/texting and on-my-way messages remain Coming Soon.
