The maths is simple
Put in rough numbers for a normal week.
See how much of it goes on admin Clippers Base is built to take on.
Starting numbers are examples. Move them to match your week.
How this is worked out
Texts: dogs × texts per dog × minutes per text. Then we add your invoicing and rebooking minutes. Extra dogs is that total divided by one groom, rounded down. A year counts 48 working weeks.
About 3¾ hours a week on admin Clippers Base is built to take on.
That’s roughly 2 more dogs a week, or about 180 hours a year.
