Handling Notes Stay With the Groomer, Off the Invoice
Bite flags and muzzle policies belong on the pet record for staff, not on printable receipt lines. Split handling notes from catalog line items so checkout shows services and time charges, not the groomer's back-room warnings.
Ready for Pickup Means a Photo, Not a Shout
A tub-room yell has no timestamp, no photo, and no tie to the appointment. Ready for pickup works when status, finished time, and the groom photo live on the job so the front desk stops guessing on busy Saturdays.
