Questions to ask

Do not compare feature labels. Compare what happens on a busy day.

Can walk-ins, reservations, add-ons, invoices, and payment actions stay connected?

Will pet notes and internal alerts remain visible across booking, check-in, and reporting?

How well does the platform support owners, managers, accountants, front desk, and staff?

Can the business scale into multiple branches or service types without switching systems?
