Set up rooms and kennels

Rooms are the spaces you put pets in, such as kennels, suites, catteries, play areas, grooming tables, consult rooms, wards and grooming vans. Each room belongs to one branch.

Who can do this: roles with "Business settings, services, rooms". By default that's Owner, Admin and Manager.

Add a room

1. 1Go to Settings → Rooms & kennels (/app/settings/rooms).
2. 2Click Add room.
3. 3Enter a Name (for example K-01) and choose a Type: Kennel, Suite, Cattery, Play area, Grooming table, Consult room, Ward or Grooming van.
4. 4Pick the Branch.
5. 5Set Capacity (pets): how many pets can share the room at the same time.
6. 6Optionally choose Suits pet size and add Notes (for example "AC, garden-facing").
7. 7Leave Active (available for allocation) ticked.
8. 8Click Add room.

Rooms are listed by branch, with the room count and total capacity of active rooms. Use Edit to change a room, Deactivate to stop offering it (it keeps its history and can be reactivated), or Delete to remove a room that has never been booked.

How rooms are used

• FurKisses won't let you put more pets in a room than its capacity for overlapping dates. You'll see "That room is full for those dates."
• For online boarding requests, FurKisses automatically picks a free active Kennel, Suite or Cattery at that branch. If the branch has rooms like these but none are free, the customer is asked to try different dates. If the branch has none at all, the request goes through without a room.

Good to know

• The page follows the branch switcher. To see every branch's rooms, choose All branches.
• If you have no branches yet, the page shows "Add a branch first". See Branches and opening hours.
• The optional Daily rate field is for reference only: it isn't used in billing yet. Prices always come from the service, such as Overnight boarding. See Services, add-ons and size-based pricing.
• A room that has bookings (past or current) can't be deleted. You'll see a message suggesting Deactivate instead, so stays never lose their room.
