As a salon owner, you know that a fully booked calendar shouldn’t mean fully maxed-out stress levels. But too often, the schedule feels like a puzzle with missing pieces: unclear capacity, multi-pet families that don’t fit neatly into slots, or staff stretched too thin.
For months, our MoeGo Community of salon owners like you has been clear about the challenges of traditional booking: the blind spots, the missed multi-pet opportunities, and the rigid calendars that don’t fit real life.
That’s why we revamped Book by Slot.
A smarter, more flexible way to manage your calendar that puts you back in control.
The Real Problems We Set Out to Solve
How We Solved the Problems
- Increased Occupancy = Revenue: Automatically find appointments for your customers, so you’re not missing out on revenue potential.
- Better Control: Set precise limits on how many pets can be booked for each slot, reducing the risk of overbooking.
- Smart Scheduling: Automatically suggest alternate groomers or times if a slot is unavailable, so multi-pet families can book easily.
- Increased Efficiency: Align online booking with real staff hours and sync shifts, so your team isn’t juggling between systems and can focus on what they do best—grooming pets.
Book by Slot: Smarter Scheduling, Built for Pet Salons
Book by Slot is a smarter way to manage your appointments. Instead of a messy list of times, you define customizable slots that reflect your salon’s actual capacity, rules, and workflow. It’s the clarity and control you’ve been asking for.
Who Will Love Book by Slot?
- Salon Owners: Want a more predictable, stress-free schedule? This feature helps you maintain control, even during your busiest hours.
- Front Desk Managers: With better visibility into availability, you can prevent chaos and improve communication with clients.
- Solo Groomers: Enjoy personalized control over your calendar with tailored time slots based on your availability, service types, and pet sizes.
- Pet Parents: Multi-pet families can book multiple appointments seamlessly, ensuring a hassle-free experience
1. See Everything at a Glance
See your whole team’s day in one clear view. With Book by Slot, color-coded slots and real-time updates make it easy to spot availability and manage capacity.
Unlike standard working-hour mode, Book by Slot is built for group drop-offs—meaning you can accept multiple pets in the same time slot without risking double-bookings.
- Real-life use case: Your front desk used to juggle paper notes, phone calls, and different calendar views. With Book by Slot, they now instantly see that Lily has an open slot for a large breed at 2 PM, but Marina is fully booked. When a new call comes in for a German Shepherd, she can book it with no double-checking or accidental overlaps.
2. Seamless Multi-Pet Online Bookings
Book by Slot allows continuous slots with one groomer OR same-time slots across your team, making it smooth for pet parents and stress-free for staff.
- Real-life use case: A family with three golden retrievers used to call in every time because they couldn’t book all three dogs online in one go. Instead of getting on a set of back-and-forth calls, they now book online. The system groups them into an extended, multi-pet slot with their favorite groomer, and your front desk staff doesn’t have to lift a finger.
3. Optimize Staff Workloads with Breed, Size, and Service Limits
Every staff is different. With Book by Slot, you can customize slot limits for each team member based on skill, service type, or availability. Balance workloads, reduce burnout, and keep your team happy. This includes booking limits by size or breed, or even completely blocking certain service categories.
- Real-life use case: You have one stylist who specializes in large breeds while another prefers small dogs. Before Book by Slot, they often ended up overloaded in ways that didn’t match their strengths. Now, with slot limits set for each staff member by service categories, big dogs only go to the large-breed specialist, while quick trims get routed to another. The result? A more balanced day and far less burnout.
4. Build Your Perfect, Flexible Schedule for the Whole Team
Your salon is unique, and your booking system should be too. Book by Slot lets you build the schedule that actually fits your business.
Whether your team works on rotating schedules or needs to adjust for holidays, Book by Slot keeps things organized. You can set repeating weekly patterns for staff who work alternating shifts, or use date overrides to adjust hours, slot durations, or capacity for special dates.
- Real-life use case: The part-time staff, Marina, works every other Wednesday. Instead of manually blocking and unblocking her calendar, you now set a rotating schedule, and it works forever. When Christmas week arrives, simply override your normal hours, add extra slot capacity, and online booking will be synced once set up.
