Executive Deal Room · Prepared by Werner Harmonic Labs

Smoochie Pooch,
on the PetsPlug Care Network.

Your own branded operating system across all 17 locations, in your colors and your logo, not "the PetsPlug app." A Care app for pet parents, loyalty, a cancelled-appointment rebound, the Pet Passport with in-shop connect and check-in, a social wall, a gift-card & retail store, and a back office for your team. It isn't a mockup. It's built and live today.

The opportunity

Every empty slot is revenue you can't get back.

A grooming chain runs on two hard problems: cancellations leave same-day gaps that never refill, and clients drift because nothing keeps them connected between visits. Your booking tool schedules. It doesn't fill the gap, and it doesn't keep the client. That's what PetsPlug closes.

Cancellations bleed

A same-day cancellation is a slot sitting empty. Nobody re-markets it fast enough, so the appointment, and the revenue, is simply gone.

Clients drift

Between grooms there's no reason to come back to you specifically. No history, no rewards, no relationship living anywhere the owner keeps.

Tools don't talk

Calendar here, reviews there, socials elsewhere, gift cards on paper. Nothing compounds into a network that makes each location stronger.

Why the network

Why be on the PetsPlug Care Network?

A booking tool runs one shop. A care network connects all 17, plus every other pet business your clients already touch. The Pet Passport belongs to the owner and follows the pet everywhere. That's what turns 17 locations into one system, and one system into a network with Smoochie at its center.

For pet parents

One pet, one Passport, every location

  • A Pet Passport that follows them across all 17 Smoochie locations, and beyond.
  • Earlier-opening alerts: claim a same-day cancellation in a single tap.
  • Rewards and referrals that travel with the owner, not a punch card.
  • "Your pet is ready" the moment the groom is done, with the after-photo.
  • Owner-controlled sharing to their vet. They decide who sees what.
For the Smoochie team

Filled slots and clients who stay

  • Empty slots refilled automatically from a same-day openings board.
  • Clients who don't drift, because their history and rewards live with you.
  • One back office for every location: openings, wall, rewards, gift cards.
  • "Pet is ready" posts that delight owners and market you at the same time.
  • Gift cards and retail as new income, from the same branded screen.
Across the network

Every location makes the others stronger

  • A client known at one Smoochie is known at all 17. No re-introductions.
  • A groom done in Carmel is on the record when they walk into Chagrin.
  • One standard of service, one back office, seventeen locations.
  • Smoochie is the founding design partner, first in and shaping the product.
  • Seventeen separate inboxes become one operating layer.
The money

The slots you refill. The clients you keep.

These figures are modeled from published 2025 to 2026 grooming-industry benchmarks, not guesses. Swap in Smoochie's real menu and client book and they get exact. The ranges below are deliberately conservative.

$7.8k–$15.6kLost per location each year to no-shows (industry)
50–70%Of no-shows recoverable with reminders + a rebound
20–30%Retention lift from reminders + online rebooking
~$780Annual value of one regular grooming client
~$75k–$185k

Refill the empty slots

A year, across 17 locations. The Openings board plus 48 and 24-hour reminders recover half to two-thirds of the same-day no-shows that today just vanish. That is revenue the calendar never gets back on its own.

Modeled: $7.8k–$15.6k lost per salon/yr × 50–70% recovered × 17 locations.
~$78k / 100 kept

Keep the regulars

Reminders and one-tap rebooking lift retention 20 to 30%. At a $780 annual client value, every 100 regulars you keep on the books is about $78,000 of grooming revenue defended. Chain-wide, that compounds fast.

Modeled: 100 retained clients × ~$780 annual grooming value.
+2 income lines

New income, same screen

Gift cards and retail sell from the same branded surface, with no new POS. Card breakage, gifting that brings in new clients, and a retail add-on on even 1 in 10 grooms turn into five figures a year per location.

Upside on top of grooming. Exact figures depend on Smoochie's attach rate.

Sources: MoeGo grooming retention + no-show research, and 2025 to 2026 industry price and retention guides. Operating figures shown inside the live product (fill rate, recovered value, enrolled customers) are illustrative until real pilot data accrues.

On the roadmap

Treats: pay for customers, not ads. Not in the pilot

Ordinary advertising charges you for impressions and clicks and hopes a customer shows up. Treats is a closed loop: members get a controlled offer, eligibility is verified, and it only counts when a real, completed visit happens. This is a future phase, not part of the pilot contract, and it is shown here so you can see where the network goes.

For members

A reason to come back

  • PetsPlug Plus unlocks Treats and member offers across the network.
  • Earn Treats from real, staff-verified visits; redeem them on controlled offers.
  • Every offer is honest: no cash value, clear terms, the owner keeps control.
For Smoochie

Fill, acquire, reactivate

  • Turn an off-peak slot into a booked one with a capacity offer.
  • Acquire a first-time client for a known cost, charged only when they complete.
  • Win back a lapsed client with a reactivation offer, measured, not guessed.
How it would work

Outcomes, never impressions

  • You would be charged on a verified, completed customer, not on views or clicks.
  • Refunds reverse the charge; demo activity never bills.
  • The same dollar is never counted twice: membership, offer, discount and reward stay separate.

Honest status: the Treats engine, membership, an immutable rewards ledger, the earn and redeem lifecycle and outcome attribution, is built and tested. It was hammered with duplicate requests and correctly refused to award or bill twice. It has no customer-facing screens and moves no money today. The billing and payout layer goes live only after a financial and legal review. No Treats pricing is offered or implied in this proposal, and Treats is not part of the pilot.

The bigger picture

You are not renting software. You are building an asset.

Your own loyalty program, your own app, and your own operating system do more than run the day to day. They turn seventeen separately-run shops into one system that you own and control.

The brand on the glass is yours

Your colors, your logo, your customer relationships. The layer your clients touch every day carries Smoochie Pooch, not a vendor's name, and the content and client base stay yours.

Owned data, recurring relationships

Every Passport, every rewards member, every retained client is an owned, recurring relationship that lives with Smoochie rather than in a third-party tool you rent by the seat.

Operational leverage

One OS across all 17 locations means a standard playbook, less overhead, fewer third-party fees, faster onboarding of new units, and decisions driven by your own data instead of guesswork.

Where this goes

The PetsPlug roadmap. You're first in.

Smoochie is the anchor design partner. As the network grows, the Passport the owner already holds becomes the connective tissue between every business that cares for their pet, and Smoochie sits at the front of it. Each stage builds on the last; nothing here is a rewrite.

1

Care OS Live

Your branded operating system across all 17 locations, in your colors and logo: openings, wall, rewards, gift cards, retail and the Pet Passport. Running today.

2

Care Network Live

Pets connect to the network with the owner's consent, scan a code, check in, hand off. The Passport follows the pet across every connected provider, not only Smoochie.

3

Treats performance network Engine built

The network becomes a measurable acquisition and retention engine: member offers, verified outcomes, honest settlement. Tested; the billing layer is next, after review.

4

Care continuity: vet + lab Roadmap

With the owner's permission, the Passport extends to the veterinary practice and the diagnostic lab, so the pet's record is continuous across grooming, medical and testing, a permissioned graph no single app owns.

5

Network density Roadmap

As more pet businesses connect, owners find trusted care through people they already trust. Smoochie, first in, benefits the most.

The system, already built

Who owns what

Clear roles, clear boundaries.

Werner Harmonic Labs

Builds, hosts and supports the platform. Owns the reusable engineering, integration and governance IP. Operates PetsPlug as the network.

Smoochie Pooch

Owns its brand, its clients, its content and its calendar of record (MoeGo). Retains full operating authority. The anchor pet-business design partner.

PetsPlug

The shared, owner-centric care network: Pet Passport, rewards, Openings, the wall. Smoochie plugs in; the owner controls what's shared.

The pet owner

Owns their pet's Passport. It lives with them across every business and every location. Smoochie is a connected provider with consented access.

Adopt at your pace

Three phases. Start with zero risk.

Nothing goes live until you give the okay. On your go-ahead, we run a final QC pass and a polish sweep across the whole platform, then roll out Phase 1, then 2, then 3, at whatever pace suits Smoochie.

1

Presence: day one, no setup

Point clients to the branded site. Location pages, the wall, the gallery and the blog are live immediately. Nothing to install, nothing to configure.

2

Engagement

Clients sign up and get a Passport, rewards, referrals. Staff post earlier openings and "pet is ready" posts with email alerts on. Booking runs in handoff mode alongside MoeGo.

3

Commerce + automation

Connect Stripe payouts for the store, add texting for SMS, connect the MoeGo API for auto-sync, and move to your own domain. Each is a switch, not a rebuild.

What you plug in

A finished product. You add the accounts.

No code stands between you and going live. When you're ready for the later phases, you connect accounts you already control:

MoeGo API key optional

Flip booking from handoff to auto-sync. Request it from MoeGo, paste it in. Handoff works fine until then.

Stripe account for payouts

Route store revenue to your bank. Onboarding is standard Stripe.

Texting account for SMS

Turn alerts into real text messages (email already sends). Requires carrier registration.

Your domain optional

app.smoochie-pooch.com instead of the subdomain, one DNS record.

The pilot

A bounded 90-day founding pilot.

One location or a controlled cohort. Defined success metrics agreed up front. The implementation fee is credited toward an approved chain rollout, so a successful pilot pays forward and an unsuccessful one stays contained.

$12,500

Implementation

One-time. Configuration, branding, customer and staff import, MoeGo handoff wiring, and training. Credited toward an approved chain rollout.

$3,500 / mo

Platform fee

For the live pilot location across the 90 days. Chain-wide pricing is set after the pilot, based on what it actually recovers.

90 days

Bounded term

A defined start and end with agreed metrics. No long-term commitment is required to find out whether this works for Smoochie.

Treats, veterinary connectivity and diagnostic-lab connectivity are not part of the pilot. Deeper integrations (MoeGo auto-sync, Stripe payouts, SMS) activate when Smoochie provides the corresponding accounts.

How we both know it worked

Measured, not asserted.

Baselines are captured at kickoff and results are measured against them. No recovered-revenue number is claimed until it is verified in Smoochie's own data.

Next step

Let's run a Carmel pilot.

See it live, walk one location through Phase 1 and 2, and measure real recovered revenue and enrollment. Low risk, quick to stand up, and everything above is already built.
