How Repair Cafe Works
- A person arrives at the repair cafe location with items to repair.
- The person is directed to reception, where the whole repair cafe concept is explained to them.
- They are given a Repair Monitor Form and shown how to fill it in.
- Once the Repair Monitor Form is completed then the person is directed to the Triage table. At the triage table the item is entered onto the appropriate Check-in Sheet, assigned a unique “Reference no” which is recorded on the Repair Monitor Form. The person is taken to the appropriate repair area with the item and the Repair Monitor Form.
- Once a repairer is available then the person sits with the item while the repairer works on the repair. The repair monitor remains with the repairer.
- Before leaving the person fills out a feedback form.
