Community Repair Café | Team Checklists

This is a collection of checkpoints to help you for a successful community repair cafe

Do not forget to keep the "Café" Scenario in mind, have fun, connect and sever some tea etc. to create a peaceful and good mood environment

Reception Check-List

How to handle participants and devices (record)

  • Prepare a front desk as reception for the participants with their devices
  • Define the responsibility for the desk to welcome the community members
  • Define the areas, scetch a plan for team and participants where to wait and what to do
  • Use masking tape and a list to record, label and list the devices to be repaired
  • Prepare a team member to precheck all Items and record the things that need fixing, sort out the ones not easy to fix (where no export/material is available)
  • Prepare a waiting list to keep record of devices and participants/owners (check-in, check-out):
