Why Status Matters
Updating statuses keeps your business organized:
- Dashboard Stats: Your "Ready for Pickup" count on the home screen updates automatically.
- Staff Tracking: Managers can see which workers have too many "In Progress" jobs.
- Customer Clarity: You can instantly tell a customer where their dress is when they call.
