How to run your tailor shop counter in Simple mode
Simple mode is a shorter TailorSync for the people at the counter. Staff who can use the till tap Simple in the top bar, and the app keeps only the Counter, Orders, Customers, Today and Help, with bigger buttons and one question per screen. This second episode of Season 4 hands over a finished kandura, charges a hem on the keypad and takes an order for two kanduras, then shows the Orders board and Today. Simple mode comes with every plan.

Switch to Simple
Simple mode is for the people at your counter. It keeps the screens they use every day and puts the rest away. Switch it on in the top bar.
The Counter
This is the Counter, and the menu keeps only Counter, Orders, Customers, Today and Help. Find a customer by phone, name or order number, or tap what they came for: to buy, to order a garment, or to collect one. Below are the orders ready to collect, and the ones still in the workshop.
Hand over an order
Saeed has come for his kandura. Type the last digits of his phone number, and open his page. His page shows what he still owes, his orders and his measurements. His kandura is ready, so tap Hand over. The till opens on his order. Tap Collect and deliver. He pays the balance by card, so pick Card, and collect it. The kandura is handed over, and the order shows Delivered.
Charge an alteration
Next, a walk-in wants his trousers hemmed while he waits. Close the order, and on the till, tap Type a price. Type the amount, tap Hemming, and add it to the sale. Then charge it. Hemming is usually a job for later, so the till ticks Needs alteration. He is waiting, so untick it, take cash, and complete the sale.
Take a stitching order
Rashid wants two kanduras stitched. Go back to the Counter and tap New stitching order. Type his number, and tap This one. Tap the kandura picture twice, once for each piece. He brought his own fabric, so pick Customer's own and say what it is. His kandura measurements are saved, so they are already filled in. Add a note for the tailor if you like. Pick the day it will be ready. If he should try it on before it is finished, turn on Trial fitting first. Then the money. He pays half now, in cash. Save the order. The order is booked. Send him the tracking link on WhatsApp, print his slip, or go on to the next customer.
Orders and Today
Orders shows every open order by its step, and the button on each card moves it on. This shop tracks its workshop, so its cards open the Workshop board instead. Today lists who is collecting, who is coming for a fitting, and what is late. Close the day takes you to the till to count the cash.
Back to Advanced
Stock, purchases, money reports and settings stay in Advanced. Switch back whenever you need them. Switching only changes what you see. That's Simple mode in TailorSync. Thanks for watching.
