No more phone tag with the repair guy
The broken AC, the landlord who won't call back, three quotes for new chairs. Friday chases vendors, collects quotes and books the visit, so you stop spending your breaks on hold.
AC is dying again. Can you get someone out this week?
FridayOn it. I've asked three HVAC companies with good reviews near you. First two quotes: $180 and $210 for a diagnostic.
CoolAir can come Thursday at 7:30am, before you open. They fixed it last summer and the note says it was the capacitor. Book them?
Yes, perfect
FridayBooked. I'll text Jess to let them in at 7:30, and I've let the landlord know as the lease asks.
Every owner knows the dance: call the repair company, leave a message, miss their call back while you're with a client, call back, get voicemail, repeat. Meanwhile the AC is still broken.
The errands that eat your breaks
- The repair visit that takes six calls to schedule.
- The landlord who needs to be told, in writing, per the lease.
- Three quotes for anything bigger than $500.
- The supplier who "never got" the order.
- The insurance company that needs photos and a claim number.
None of it is hard. It's just constant, and it always happens while you're working.
What Friday does
- Finds and contacts vendors with good reviews near you, by text, email or their website.
- Collects quotes and lays them out side by side.
- Books the visit at a time that doesn't break your day, and tells whoever needs to let them in.
- Remembers the history. What was fixed last time, by whom, and what it cost.
- Keeps the paper trail, like notices to your landlord, claim numbers and warranties, so it's there when you need it.
You get your lunch break back
The AC still breaks. But fixing it goes from a week of phone tag to one text.
