## Short Answer

A pet daycare front desk handles scheduling, new-client screening, vaccination questions, temperament context, package questions, and daily logistics. Treating it as simple message taking creates chaos later.

## Daycare calls are operational calls

A dog daycare call is rarely just 'Can I come in?' It is usually a chain of operational questions: Is there an evaluation? What vaccines are required? Can my dog come twice a week? What if he is nervous? How early can I drop off?

If the phone process is vague, the lobby pays for it later.

## The front desk protects the floor

Good intake keeps the playgroup safer. It catches first-timers, nervous dogs, intact dogs, vaccine gaps, and owners who need a slower onboarding path.

The system answering the phone should know enough to ask before the dog is standing in the lobby.

## The right automation feels boring

It answers the common questions the same way every time. It collects the same details every time. It sends the same confirmation every time. That boring consistency is what lets the team be warm in person.

The goal is not to make daycare robotic. The goal is to remove the avoidable scramble around it.
