As the holiday season approaches, pet-care businesses often experience a surge in bookings and increased demand for efficient operations. In our latest webinar, “Holiday Efficiency with Gingr: Areas, Lodgings & Transfers,” we explored how Gingr's powerful features can streamline the holiday rush. 

Whether you missed the webinar or just need a quick refresh, check out the full recap here:

Setting Up Areas and Lodgings

The foundation of any well-organized boarding facility is its areas and lodgings setup. In the webinar, we discussed how to configure areas (specific locations within your facility) and lodgings (individual kennels or rooms). By categorizing these correctly, you can ensure pets are placed appropriately and make your facility easy to navigate. Proper setup is critical for avoiding booking errors during busy holiday periods when every space counts!

Lodging Transfer Report

The Lodging Transfer Report was a highlight for those interested in managing changes quickly. If a pet’s stay needs to be adjusted—whether they’re moving to a different kennel or an upgraded lodging space—this report tracks it all. It provides a clear view of all past, present, and future transfers, ensuring smooth transitions without confusion or errors. During the holidays, when last-minute changes are common, this tool is invaluable.

Missing Lodgings Report

This feature might sound minor, but it can be a real lifesaver during the holiday rush! The Missing Lodgings Report helps ensure that every pet scheduled for boarding has an assigned lodging. The report flags any reservations missing lodging assignments, so you can fix them before it becomes a problem.

Lodging Occupancy Report

Efficiency during the holidays often comes down to knowing exactly how much space you have available. Gingr’s Lodging Occupancy Report provides a detailed overview of how full your facility is, broken down by area or room type. This real-time insight helps ensure you maximize your facility’s capacity while avoiding overbookings. Our panelists emphasized the importance of reviewing this report daily during the holiday season to stay ahead of any occupancy challenges.
