  • Current Guests — Combined stat card showing total guests with a breakdown (e.g., "4 boarding / 6 daycare / 2 grooming")
  • Daycare Snapshot — If your facility offers daycare: today's capacity bar (booked vs. total), status counters (Checked In / Expected / Pending), per-play-area utilization bars, and total facility guests today
  • Grooming Snapshot — If your facility offers grooming: today's total grooming appointments, status counters (Scheduled / In Progress / Complete), and next appointment time with pet name. Uses a sky-blue accent to distinguish from boarding (teal) and daycare (amber)
  • Today's Schedule — A list of all check-ins and check-outs scheduled for the current day, grouped by status
