FrontBin

Counter software for alterations, dry cleaning & shoe repair

FrontBin runs the front counter of a drop-off shop: intake, tickets, payments and pickup, all in one place. It came out of building and running software for a real alterations shop, so it's shaped by how a counter actually works.

  • QR ticket status

    every ticket has a QR code customers scan to see where their order is, when it's due, and what they owe. That means fewer "is it ready?" calls.

  • Ready-for-pickup email

    one click lets the customer know their order is done.

  • Partial payments

    take deposits and balances at the counter.

  • Staff PINs

    the whole team works on one shop account, and each person has a role.

  • Customer import

    bring an existing customer list in from a CSV.

  • Printable tickets with the QR code built in.

Tempest Labs business platform

We are building a business management and POS system for shops that want customers, appointments, intake, jobs, staff, payments, and reporting in one place — without renting five separate tools.

The goal is the same as our custom work: software that matches how a small business actually runs. This one will be a product we maintain. Until it is ready, we are not taking signups or payments for it.

Need a system for your shop this year? We can build it.

FrontBin is our counter product for drop-off shops. BitBuddy is our classroom. If you need software built around a different workflow, custom work is the path.
