Invoicing bills each order taken in at the counter. Five shirts and a two-piece suit are two lines. Wash and fold is a line in kilos, such as 6.5 kg. Each ticket's number can start with a prefix, such as T-.
The due date can be the day the order is ready. You can email the ticket at the counter. You send it again with a message when the order is ready. The customer pays by card from the email, or in cash at collection.
Contacts keeps each customer with their phone number and address. A pinned note keeps what the counter needs: light starch, shirts on hangers, no fragrance. Their page lists every invoice, newest first.
A restaurant or a hotel has its own payment terms, such as 30 days. Every invoice to it is due on them. A tag such as Account or Collection round filters the list.
Forms builds your collection request. It asks for the address, the buzzer, the day and what is in the bag. Customers send it without signing up first.
Each request is emailed to you, and the responses are kept in one list. A File question takes a photo of a stain or a care label.
To-dos keeps the round. Each regular stop is a To-do that repeats every week. You type it as you say it: 14 Elm Avenue, collect, every Tuesday. You assign the round to your driver.
The driver's Today lists the stops due, and they drag them into the order they drive. Ticking one off schedules next week's. A stop that was missed says Overdue and stays on Today.
Proposals sets out your linen service as packages, such as weekly or twice-weekly collection. Each line is billed monthly. The manager chooses, signs on the page and can save a card for the monthly invoices.
When it is accepted, Magpie starts a recurring invoice for the monthly lines. Each invoice is issued on its date. It is charged to the saved card, or paid from its email. You see when the proposal is opened.
Staff Scheduling plans the week by the positions you name, such as Counter, Pressing and Driver. You type a shift's times as you say them, such as 7-3, or copy last week. Publishing the week shows each person their own shifts.
A presser can offer a coworker a swap, or ask for time off. You choose whether a swap needs your approval.
Daily Operations holds the shop's routines, timed from your opening hours. It starts with Opening and Closing, and you can add steps. A step can be cleaning the lint screens or checking the boiler. It can ask for a photo or a number.
When a machine fails, staff report an incident and can take it out of service. A note for the next shift stays on Today until it is read.
Asset Tracker keeps each machine with its tag, serial number, model and condition. The manual and the purchase receipt are attached to it. Its warranty's end date is on its page.
Start maintenance records a dryer in for repair, with the date it is expected back. A routine can be linked to the machine it looks after. Reports count the machines in maintenance.
Each step starts from what the one before it made.
