Rate Occupancy

Labor Rent / Utilities

t  Currently, Wag prices slightly higher than traditional kennels, even though it provides a far greater service offering

t  Pricing does not include add-on services in the offing

t  Wag’s brand equity will permit higher pricing going forward

t  Occupancy varies by month t  Conservative: 37%

occupancy in first year, going to 65% occupancy in year 2

t  Traditional urban kennels do up to 85% occupancy

t  Estimates do not account for brand recognition, corporate programs, etc.

t  Labor is the single largest controllable expense item

t  Right people, right jobs at the right time:

§  Conversion of full time staff to FTE utilization model

§  Increased retention
