Most grooming software treats multi-location as an enterprise add-on with enterprise pricing. GroomBoard's Salon plan supports multi-groomer and multi-location from day one at $39/month per shop. You get per-location booking pages, per-groomer calendars, and a dashboard that rolls revenue and appointment counts across locations.
Who this page is for: Owners running 2 to 5 grooming salons who need per-location schedules with rolled-up owner reporting.
When each location runs its own tool, cross-shop reporting becomes a spreadsheet job. Unified tenancy keeps pet profiles, client history, and revenue in one view.
A client booking at Location A showing up at Location B is impossible if the pet profile only exists in A. Shared pet profiles solve the transfer flow.
Commission-based groomers need accurate appointment counts per groomer per location. GroomBoard filters the calendar and revenue by groomer so payroll is a two-click export.
Owners often find out about a slow Tuesday on the following Monday. The dashboard shows this-week revenue and upcoming-week bookings per location in real time.
Multi-Location Salons live in a workflow most generic scheduling tools were not designed for. The platforms that dominated the last decade of grooming software bundled kennel management, boarding, inventory, and payroll into a single subscription sold at an enterprise price point. For an archetype like multi-location salons, that bundle is 80% dead weight. You pay for features you will never open, and the interface that surfaces the features you actually use gets crowded out.
GroomBoard takes the opposite approach: scheduling, client management, SMS, and payments as the spine, with every extra feature optional and invisible until you need it. The result is a dashboard that multi-location salons can learn in 15 minutes, a booking page that is indexed by Google out of the box, and a price point (Salon) that is not counting against your rent every month.
The feature set below is the exact subset that moves the needle for your archetype — not a full catalog.

| Capability | GroomBoard | Typical competitors |
|---|---|---|
| Per-shop pricing | $39/mo per location | $99–$249/mo per location |
| Multi-groomer support | Up to 5 per Salon plan | Typically capped 3–5 |

| Rolled-up revenue reporting | Owner dashboard aggregates all shops | Per-shop only in many |
The Pricing Index gives you a regional + breed-adjusted starting point. For this archetype, the most common early mistake is charging below the regional column on Dog Bath appointments — your most frequent service. Set it to the regional mid-range first, then adjust per breed using the breed × service matrix.
Representative scenario
A three-shop operator in Florida ran separate Gingr instances at $109/month each ($327/month total). Consolidating onto GroomBoard Salon at $39 × 3 = $117/month cut software costs by 64% and gave the owner her first real cross-shop revenue view.
