Yes. PocketSuite’s Smart Reports dashboard breaks total revenue down by service type, so a facility offering boarding, daycare, and grooming under one roof can see exactly which service is actually driving revenue, rather than relying on a gut sense of which one “feels” busiest.
PocketSuite powers 7,000+ service businesses, including 1,000+ pet service businesses, whose clients have collectively processed nearly $1 billion in income and scheduled over 9.2 million appointments. Knowing that breakdown is part of what lets a growing facility invest its next dollar, and its next hire, in the service that is actually earning it.
Performance varies a lot by service line. According to “2026 Pet Boarding, Daycare & Resort Industry Benchmarking Report” (International Boarding and Pet Services Association, The Dog Gurus, PocketSuite, and Researchscape International, 2026), 52% of $1M+ businesses report 60%+ boarding occupancy, 53% report the same for daycare, and 49% for grooming, each compared to a much lower share of sub-$150K businesses (29%, 18%, and 10% respectively). Daycare shows the widest gap of the three, meaning it is often the service line where a growing business has the most room to gain ground.
Why “Revenue by Service” Beats a Single Total
A single monthly revenue number hides a lot. A facility could be thriving in boarding while daycare quietly loses money on staffing, or the reverse, and a flat total would not show the difference either way. Breaking revenue down by service is what actually tells an owner where the business is strong and where it is coasting.
That matters most when deciding where to spend the next marketing dollar, the next hire, or the next round of menu changes. Without a service-level breakdown, those decisions default to instinct rather than data.
How Smart Reports Break Revenue Down by Service
“Total revenue by service type, then you can slice it by staff member, then you can slice it by client segment.” Abigail Missimo, PocketSuite’s Pet Business expert, said in a PocketSuite webinar on pet resort reporting, describing how Smart Reports lets a facility see total revenue by service type, then slice further by staff member or client segment inside the same dashboard.
That layered view means an owner is not stuck comparing boarding to daycare to grooming as three flat totals. A facility can check whether grooming revenue is concentrated in one stylist, or whether daycare’s growth is coming from new clients or repeat bookings, all without leaving the same report.

Add-Ons Change the Picture Too
Core services are not the whole revenue story. According to “2026 Pet Boarding, Daycare & Resort Industry Benchmarking Report” (International Boarding and Pet Services Association, The Dog Gurus, PocketSuite, and Researchscape International, 2026), 72% of $1M+ businesses see add-on purchases on 4 or more of every 10 bookings, with 44% seeing it on 6 or more, compared to just 18% of sub-$150K businesses hitting that same 4-plus threshold. That 54-percentage-point gap is the widest performance gap the study found across any metric.
Packages and add-on tracking inside Smart Reports let a facility see how much of its revenue is coming from bundled or upsold services on top of the core booking, which is often where the fastest, easiest revenue gains are sitting unexamined.
Turning the Breakdown Into a Decision
Once a facility can see which service actually drives revenue, the next step is acting on it: shifting marketing spend toward the strongest service, adjusting staffing to match where demand is, or reworking a menu so underperforming services either improve or step aside for something that earns more. A breakdown that never turns into a decision is just a more detailed version of the same guesswork.
Reviewing the service-level breakdown on a regular cadence, not just once a year, is what lets a facility catch a shift, daycare picking up steam while grooming softens, for example, while there is still time to respond to it.
A Facility Offering Multiple Services Is Not Automatically Diversified
Offering boarding, daycare, and grooming under one roof can feel like diversification on its own, but without a service-level breakdown, a facility has no way to know if that is actually true. It is entirely possible for one service to be quietly carrying the majority of revenue while the other two barely break even once staffing and space costs are considered, and a facility would have no way to know that from a single monthly total.
Real diversification means each service is contributing meaningfully, not just present on the menu. The only way to confirm that is to look at the breakdown directly, on a regular basis, rather than assuming a broad menu automatically spreads risk evenly across services. That distinction matters most heading into a slow season for one specific service, since a facility that assumed it was diversified can be caught off guard by how much a single service line’s dip actually affects total revenue.
Using the Breakdown to Set Menu Pricing
Service-level revenue data also feeds directly into pricing decisions. A service running near capacity at its current price is a strong candidate for a price increase, since demand is clearly outpacing supply. A service with plenty of open capacity but weak revenue may need a different fix entirely, better marketing, a bundled package, or a genuine look at whether it belongs on the menu at all.
Without the data, both of those calls default to instinct. With it, a facility can make pricing and menu decisions based on what is actually happening in the business rather than what feels true from day to day.
Comparing Service Performance Over Time, Not Just This Month
A single month’s service-level breakdown is a starting point, but comparing that breakdown across several months or against the same period last year shows whether a service’s revenue share is genuinely shifting or just having an unusually strong or weak month. Grooming picking up for one month might just be a seasonal bump; grooming trending upward for two consecutive quarters is a real pattern worth planning around.
That longer view is what keeps a facility from overreacting to a single month’s numbers, whether that means chasing a service that just had one lucky week or writing off a service that is actually building momentum more slowly than the rest.
What to Do When One Service Is Clearly Underperforming
When the breakdown shows one service consistently lagging the others, the next question is why, not just whether to cut it. Low revenue from grooming, for example, could mean weak demand, understaffing relative to demand, pricing that is out of line with the local market, or simply that the service is not being marketed as actively as boarding or daycare. The service-level revenue data narrows down which of those explanations is worth investigating first, rather than leaving a facility to guess at a fix for a problem it has not actually diagnosed.
Google Leads and Reviews can be part of that follow-up too, since a service with real demand nearby but weak bookings on the PocketSuite side sometimes points to a discovery problem rather than a service-quality one, worth checking before assuming the service itself needs to change.
A Quarterly Habit Worth Building
Beyond a weekly glance, setting aside time once a quarter to review the full service-level breakdown in detail, comparing it to the prior quarter and the same quarter a year ago, gives a facility a chance to make bigger decisions: whether to expand a growing service, invest in additional space or equipment for it, or reconsider one that has been flat for several quarters running.
“Pocket Suite creates my entire schedule for all of my clients. It’s gonna handle their billing, it’s gonna handle their paperwork.” said Terra Ruiz, owner, Wholistic Canine, a multi-service pet business offering daycare, training, and grooming under one roof, describing how running multiple service lines under one system makes it possible to see which ones are actually carrying the business.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. PocketSuite’s Smart Reports break total revenue down by service type, so a facility can see exactly how much boarding, daycare, grooming, or any other service is contributing.
Yes. Add-on and package revenue is tracked as part of Smart Reports, which matters since add-on performance shows the widest gap between top- and bottom-performing businesses in industry benchmarking data.
Yes. Smart Reports lets a facility slice service-level revenue further by staff member or client segment within the same dashboard.
Start with the service-level revenue breakdown in Smart Reports to see which service is actually earning the most, then compare that against occupancy and staffing costs for that same service before deciding where to invest further.
Smart Reports with service-type breakdown is included on PocketSuite’s Team plan and up.
Guessing which service actually drives revenue, boarding, daycare, grooming, or the add-ons layered on top of any of them, tends to favor whichever service is loudest or most visible day to day, not necessarily the one that is actually earning the most. A real breakdown by service type removes that guesswork.
Reviewing that breakdown regularly, and letting it guide where a facility spends its next marketing dollar or its next hire, is what turns a reporting dashboard into an actual growth tool rather than a number to check once and forget, and the same underlying Smart Reports data is already there whether a facility looks at it once a year or once a week.
