The Cost of Silence

Small grooming businesses miss an average of 15+ calls every month.

While you're busy grooming, your phone is ringing. When you don't answer, customers don't wait—they call the next shop on Google.

Revenue Leakage

That's approximately $6,480 in annual revenue walking to your competitors.

The Solution

Never miss another booking opportunity.

Our AI Phone Agent answers 100% of your calls, answers questions, and books appointments directly into your calendar—even while you're grooming.

Stop Paying the "Hardware Tax"

Some grooming software forces you to use their payment hardware—even when it's outdated, unreliable, or simply not what you want. Then they quietly charge you more for every transaction by marking up your processing.

We don't believe small businesses should be punished for choosing what works.

With Talopet, you can bring the payment hardware you already trust. We treat it as a first-class citizen—no extra fees, no forced upgrades, no hidden markups.

You pay one fair software fee. Your payments stay yours.

What the "Hardware Tax" really is

It's how some software companies make extra money by forcing you onto their payment hardware, raising your swipe rates, and taking a cut of every transaction.

These fees aren't obvious. They're buried in "integration" charges and marked-up processing — but over time, they quietly add up.

Small percentages compound into thousands. Every year.

Estimates assume an average ticket of $35. "+$0.40" means 40¢ per transaction. Rates and fees vary by plan and card mix. This is meant to illustrate how small add-ons compound over time.
