A music school or private teacher with term billing.
- Term invoices are made by hand
- Make-up lessons are tracked on paper
- Parents ask for the same information again
What a day could look like, for music teachers
It is week one of term. Each family gets one invoice for their children's lessons, a teacher is away on Thursday and the make-up lesson is offered, and at the end of term the teachers' pay adds up from the lessons given.
How we plan to make sure it works
When it is built, we will run it for weeks in a simulated business first, then let three real businesses use it for a month. Only then will it get a price here.
