June 17, 2026 I built QRdy — live status updates for service businesses via QR code

Hey IH 👋

I'm Shubh, a solo founder from New Zealand. I just launched QRdy — a tool that lets any service business give customers live job status updates via a QR code.

The problem: small businesses (barbershops, repair shops, mechanics, takeaways) spend a huge chunk of their day answering "is it ready yet?" calls and texts. It's annoying for them and the customer.

The solution: they stick a QR code at the counter. Customer scans it once and watches the status update live on their phone as the job progresses — received → in progress → ready. No app download, no customer signup. Operator just taps through steps on their phone.

Free plan is live at https://alwaysqready.app. Paid plans add a permanent reusable QR, dashboard, WhatsApp/email notifications, and custom branding.

Would love any feedback — especially from anyone who's worked with service businesses before.

    Interesting idea.

    The hard part here may not be whether QR updates work, but whether the business sees “status visibility” as a customer experience upgrade or just another internal workflow change.

    That distinction usually decides adoption more than the feature itself.

Every service business gets the same question all day: "Is it ready yet?" I built QRdy to answer it automatically. Customers scan a QR code and watch their job update live — no app, no signup. Solo founder, NZ-based.
