Template, not built for a specific business

A paid job that stalls should flag itself before the customer has to complain

Many businesses that take a deposit or full payment before scheduling the actual work run that whole process on memory: a generic contact form, one person who keeps the schedule in their head or a spreadsheet, and no shared view of which paid jobs are still waiting to be booked. This page shows one small, working tool that closes that gap: every paid order gets an internal ticket that moves through received, scheduled, in progress and completed, a simulated status email fires on each stage change, the whole team sees the same shared queue, and any paid job sitting too long without moving is flagged automatically instead of waiting for a complaint.

Everything below is fictional. When this gets built for a real business, the office view reads from whatever already tracks paid orders (a POS system, a spreadsheet, a scheduling tool), and the reference code on the customer view is whatever the business already hands out at time of purchase.

days with no stage change

Log a new job

A real deployment shows this same queue to everyone who needs it, on one shared screen, instead of one person's inbox or notebook.

Shared job queue, flagged jobs first

Try JOT-1001, JOT-1002, JOT-1003 or JOT-1004 from the team view's sample queue.

How this gets built for real

The reference code is whatever the business already hands out. A real build reads from an existing order or invoice number instead of inventing a new one for the customer to remember.
The status email here is a log entry, not a real send. A real build wires this to the business's existing email or SMS system so the ping actually goes out the moment a stage changes.
The "needs attention" threshold is a single number, set per business. A real build can also route that flag to a specific person instead of just surfacing it in the shared queue.
