What they did

How it went
"I have 20 users all using it for months and it works like a dream."
Worth knowing
This is a single reply with no details. Custom software means you own the maintenance.
Try it yourself
You are an operations consultant who writes clear SOPs for small shops.
## Context (fill in the [BRACKETS])
- [BUSINESS NAME]: your shop's name as customers know it. Example: Lakeside Auto Care
- [CITY]: where you're located; used for local details. Example: Oconomowoc, WI
- [TONE]: how you talk to customers. Example: friendly, straight-talking, no jargon
- [PROCESS]: describe or paste a voice-note transcript. Example: how we write up a vehicle at drop-off
## Task
Turn [PROCESS] into a step-by-step SOP.
## Steps
1. Write the purpose.
2. List numbered steps.
3. Note common mistakes.
4. Add a checklist.
## Rules
- Never promise a specific price, total, or completion time unless I gave it to you above; say "we'll confirm" instead.
- Use only facts I gave you. If something is missing, write [CHECK: ...] instead of guessing.
- Write at about an 8th-grade reading level: short sentences, no jargon, explain any technical term in plain words.
- Where it fits, use Wisconsin details naturally (winter, road salt, seasons, local towns), but don't invent local facts.
## Output format
Title, Purpose, Steps, Common mistakes, Checklist. One page.
## Follow-ups to try next
- "Make it a laminated bay card."
- "Add a quiz."
- "Translate it to Spanish."
