The idea

Tailors and dry cleaners doing alterations take in many garments with paper tickets. This app logs each item with photos and measurements, tracks it through the work, and texts the customer when it is ready for pickup. It cuts lost tickets and phone calls asking if something is done.

Your first AI prompts

Paste these into Claude, Cursor or Lovable, in order. Check that each one works before moving on.

PROMPT 1 OF 3

Build a web app called Tailor Ticket. Start with a shop login and a New Ticket form with customer name, phone, garment type, work requested, measurements notes, price, due date and a photo upload.

PROMPT 2 OF 3

Add a board with columns: received, in progress, ready, picked up. Each ticket gets a short number that can be printed on a tag. When staff move a ticket to ready, use Twilio to text the customer with the ticket number and shop hours.
