How Much Does A Pet-Boarding Company Make?
We have small pet-boarding companies, catteries, dog daycare companies through to multi-site complexes using Revelation Pets. Although there is no differentiator within the system to categorize the size of the company in our database, we can access sales revenue (actual payment received) for all of our subscribers' bookings. Using this information, we averaged the monthly sales for 2015 and produced the following table to compare sales.
Please bear in mind that the values in this table may also include the optional charges such as grooming, drop off/pickups, etc.
