Dog park software FAQs

Can I collect legal agreements from customers before they arrive at my dog park?

Yes, Gingr allows you to create custom legal agreements that customers can sign online when they make a reservation. The signed document is then automatically saved to their profile, ensuring you are legally protected and saving your staff from managing paper forms.

Can I keep a credit card on a customer’s file?

Gingr’s payment processing capabilities allow you to add a customer’s credit card to their file. This allows you to run a “bar tab” style experience where guests can order drinks, food, or retail items throughout their stay. Then, they can close out with a single transaction.

How can I reward frequent dog park or dog bar visitors?

Our dog park and dog bar software can manage loyalty programs to encourage repeat visits. You can configure the system to automatically award points for every dollar spent. Set up custom reward tiers and incentives to motivate more attendance and purchases.

Can I track which dogs are currently in the park?

Yes, you can track which dogs are in the park or bar using Gingr’s dashboard feature. The “checked-in” tab gives you a real-time view of exactly which dogs are checked in at any given moment. View their photos, behavioral notes, and owner contact information to keep other pets, pet parents, and team members safe.

What software do dog parks and dog bars use?

Dog parks and dog bars use software like Gingr to run the whole venue: 24/7 online booking, online waivers signed at reservation, a card on file for a bar-tab experience, memberships and pre-paid passes, capacity limits for the yard, and a real-time view of which dogs are checked in.
