Check the calendar every morning before opening. A 30-second glance tells you exactly which dogs are coming in, whether you're near capacity, and if any Meet & Greets need preparing for.

Use unavailable dates proactively — block out deep-cleaning days, personal holidays, or maintenance windows well in advance so clients can't book those dates.

If a day shows amber/red capacity, consider whether you have enough staff rostered. Cross-reference with the Team → Holidays page to make sure someone isn't on leave.

The colour-coding matches across the entire app — green Daycare, blue Boarding, amber Meet & Greet. If you see a colour pattern you don't recognise, tap the day to confirm.

For multi-day Boarding bookings, dots appear on every day of the stay — not just the check-in date. This gives you a true picture of daily occupancy.

Export or screenshot the month view at month-end to attach to your DEFRA records as evidence of operating within licensed capacity.

Bank holidays often mean higher demand from pet owners going away. Consider setting up a "Bank Holiday Surcharge" in your pricing settings.

If you run both Daycare and Boarding, the calendar helps you spot conflicts — a day packed with Daycare arrivals AND Boarding check-ins needs extra hands on deck.
