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

Why Gatepost

Made for the van, not the salon

Gatepost is built around driving to your clients: routes between homes, reminder texts that keep no-shows down, invoices sent from the driveway, and mileage that logs itself.

White-glove service

Real people, from setup onward.

We set up your account alongside you, answer your emails ourselves, and keep answering them for as long as you're a customer. It's included in the $79.

We set you up — with you
Send us your client list, spreadsheet, or old calendar and we import it. We'll build your services, check your first route, and stay on the call until your first day is scheduled.
A direct line to the builders
Every email is answered by someone who writes the code. If something is broken, we fix it.
Answers within one business day
Usually much sooner. If something is stopping you from getting paid, we treat it like it's stopping us.
A live walkthrough before you commit
Book a demo and we'll screen-share through a real day with your kind of work. Bring questions.

What pros are saying

“I first tried MoeGo, but for me, the setup was just way too much. I didn’t have the time or the understanding to get everything transferred and set up properly. Then I found Gatepost, and it checked ALL the boxes I was looking for! The transition has been incredibly easy. Instead of spending hours manually entering all of my existing clients and their information, I simply send my customers a link, they fill everything out themselves, and BAM 💥 — they’re added! It’s simple, user-friendly, and has made switching from my old system so much less stressful. As a busy business owner, that ease of use is HUGE. I’m so glad I found Gatepost!”
