JTT for Pet Groomers & Mobile Groomers
Cashless tips and more 5★ reviews — $0 cost to your business
Most pet parents don't carry cash at pickup. With JTT, they scan a tasteful QR at the natural "thank-you" moment, tip in seconds (no app), and leave a quick rating. 4–5★ guests are routed to your chosen review platform; 1–3★ feedback stays private so you can fix issues quietly.
No app. No hardware. Just a QR code.
Cost to you: $0 — pet parents see a transparent platform fee and card processing fees before they pay; you keep 100% of the tip amount.
Outcomes at a glance
  • 20–40s from scan → tip → done.
  • Up to +25% more tips when the process is fast and cashless.
  • Public review lift on your selected platform within 2–4 weeks.
Choose your setup: Individual • Pooled • Hybrid
Individual (per groomer/bather)
Ideal for lead groomers, bathers, and stylists. Each pro gets a personal QR (counter display, apron badge, or handoff card). Great for recognition and transparent performance views. Employees can log in to see exactly what they've earned.
Pooled (per store/van/team)
Perfect for shops that rotate staff or mobile vans with multiple appointments. Guests tip the location/van/team; you distribute per policy. Toggle pooled vs. individual anytime.
Hybrid
Use both: groomer badges plus a checkout "catch-all" at the counter (or van door) to capture late tips when pets are returned. Mirrors our hospitality goodbye-moment play.
Guest flow (20–40 seconds)
Scan
a QR at the counter, apron badge, van door, or kennel return area.
Select amount
($5 / $10 / $15 / custom) and pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card — no app.
Leave a quick rating/comment
("He looks amazing—thank you!").
Smart routing
4–5★ → public review (Google/Yelp, one active at a time); 1–3★ → private feedback for coaching/service recovery.
Placements ranked by impact (with DO / DON'T cues)
Tier 1 — Primary "thank-you" moments
  • Front-counter tent at pickup (eye-line, uncluttered).
  • Apron/badge QR for the groomer handing off the pet.
  • Van door cling (mobile): exterior near the handle so it's scannable curbside.
  • Kennel/holding area exit frame (small, matte) visible as pet is brought out. (We anchor QRs to the goodbye moment to maximize conversion—same principle as hotels.)
Tier 2 — Reinforcers
  • SMS "ready for pickup" text with a short URL.
  • After-care card (coat instructions) with a small QR.
  • Receipt/email with "Say thanks in seconds."

DON'T
  • Don't bury QRs on crowded sticker walls or behind product racks.
  • Don't Use glossy acrylic/glare; choose matte/laminated for easy scanning.
  • Don't Keep QRs on moving/swinging surfaces (scan stability). (Clarity/readability rules mirror other verticals.)
Staff one-liner library (by role & moment)
Groomer at handoff:
  • "If you'd like to leave a thank-you, you can scan this — totally optional and takes 10 seconds."
  • "We're cash-free now; that little QR works with Apple Pay or card."
Front desk (checkout):
"If you loved the cut, you can leave a quick rating or tip by scanning here — no app needed."
Mobile van (curbside return):
"There's a small QR on the door if you'd like to leave a thank-you for the team."
(Tone stays guest-first and non-pushy, consistent with our other pages.)
