Shoe repair & cobblers
Customers drop off their shoes and track the repair on their phone, right up to when it's ready.
No app for customers. Ready in 60 seconds.
At a glance
QRdy for shoe repair and cobbler shops gives every customer a live status page from drop-off to ready for collection. One QR code at the counter links each job to a page your team updates as the repair progresses, so customers come in at exactly the right time, not too early and not weeks late.
Why it matters
Customers drop off shoes with a vague sense of when they might be ready. QRdy gives every customer a live status page so they come back at exactly the right time, not too early and not weeks late.
The real problem
Cobblers and shoe repair shops deal with a specific timing problem: customers have no reliable way to judge how long a repair takes, so they guess wrong in both directions. Some come back the next day when it'll be three more days. Others forget and pick up their shoes weeks late. Both create unnecessary friction, a wasted trip for the customer who arrives too early, and finished work sitting uncollected on the shelf for the one who forgets. QRdy fixes this without phone calls or reminder texts. When a customer drops off their shoes, they get a QR code linked to a live status page. Your cobbler taps through each stage, received, work in progress, finishing, ready. The customer checks the page when they think about it. They come in when it actually says ready. Fewer early returns. Fewer abandoned jobs. A better pickup rate and less congestion at the counter.
How it works
The customer drops off their shoes and scans the QR at the counter. Your cobbler taps through each stage and the customer checks the page before making the trip back in.
Shoes received
Customer drops off and scans the QR at the counter.
No app. No account. The job is tracked from the moment they hand the shoes over.
Work in progress
Cobbler starts the repair. Status updates on their page.
Customers with a page to check stop guessing and stop dropping in to ask.
Finishing up
Final touches and quality check.
Especially useful for multi-day repairs like resoling or stitching.
Ready for collection
Customer notified the moment their shoes are done.
A clean handover with no early returns and no abandoned jobs sitting on the shelf.
What your shop and customers see
The dashboard shows your team every active repair and its current stage. The live page gives each customer their own real-time view without them needing to call or drop in early.
Dashboard
You can see every active job, update each repair stage with one tap, and let the page handle the communication while you stay focused on the work.
Customer-facing live page
Customers want to know when their shoes are done and whether the trip is worth making. The live page answers that without anyone needing to pick up the phone.
Active tracker
The live page shows the current repair stage and job details so customers know whether their shoes are still being worked on or ready to collect.
Progress timeline
Customers can see which stages are done and where the job stands now. Helpful for longer jobs like full resoling or leather restoration.
Controls and sharing
Customers can copy their tracking link, cancel if plans change, and check status anytime, without needing to call or visit the counter.
Completed state
When the repair is complete, the page switches to a clear ready state so the customer knows exactly when to come in and collect their shoes.
Custom to your workflow
QRdy lets you name each stage to match how your shop works. You might use received, assessment, in repair, polishing, and ready, or a simpler flow for quick jobs like heel replacements.
Why QRdy
Common questions
How does QRdy work for a shoe repair shop?
Customers drop off their shoes, scan a QR code at your counter, and get a live status page linked to their job. As your cobbler works through each stage, received, assessment, in repair, polishing, ready, one tap updates the page and the customer sees it on their phone. They know exactly when their shoes are ready without guessing or calling. For customers who leave shoes for several days, the live page means they do not need to drop back in just to check progress.
Do customers need to download an app?
No. Customers scan the QR code at drop-off and the live status page opens in their browser immediately, no app download, no account, no signup. Shoe repair customers are often older or less accustomed to downloading apps, so a no-friction browser experience matters here. The check-in is a single scan and a name. Anyone who can use a smartphone camera can use QRdy.
Does it work for same-day and multi-day repairs?
Yes. QRdy works for any job duration. A heel replacement done in an hour gets the same live page as a full resoling job that takes five days. The page stays active until you mark the job complete, and customers can check back as many times as they want. For same-day repairs, customers often check once or twice and come straight in when ready. For multi-day jobs, the page stops them calling in every day to ask if it is done yet.
