A day with Gatepost

From first coffee to last invoice

Gatepost isn't a stack of disconnected features — it follows the shape of a grooming day.

7:30 AM

Your day is already in order

Every pet lands on the calendar by its own groom cycle — 4 weeks for the doodle, 8 for the shorthair. Tap once and the day re-orders itself by drive time between homes; every client gets an automatic reminder text with two-way confirmation, so no-shows stop eating your route.

  • Per-pet groom cycles — rebooking happens by itself
  • Route optimization built into the schedule, not bolted on
  • "On my way" texts send a real clock time from your live GPS

Everything about the pet, before the door opens

Coat notes, clip lengths, behavior flags, vaccination notes, before-and-after photos, and what you charged last time — organized by client and pet, cached on your phone before you ring the bell.

  • Behavior and health alerts surface before the leash is on
  • Photos track each groom, ready to share with the owner
  • Multi-pet households handled cleanly — one stop, every pet

Before you pull away

Invoiced, paid, and on to the next stop

Finish the groom, and the invoice is two taps away — packages and add-ons from your service list, a Stripe payment link texted to the client, or cash, check, and Venmo logged on the spot. Quotes with deposits for the big jobs, mileage tracked in the background.

  • Multi-pet invoices with packages, add-ons, and travel fees
  • Inventory auto-deducts shampoo and supplies per groom
  • Every mile between homes logged for tax season, automatically

No bars? No problem.

Most field software quietly assumes you have signal. Gatepost assumes you don't. Your schedule, clients, and notes live on your phone — fully readable and editable wherever the day takes you, synced the moment you're back in range.

Why Gatepost

Made for the van, not the salon

Salon software assumes clients come to you. Gatepost assumes you drive to them: routes between homes, reminder texts that kill no-shows, invoices sent from the driveway, and mileage that logs itself.
