Zemke and the Crew
Sixth-Floor Balcony Access
When a client asks the crew to just 'pop up'
The problem in this strip
You can lay ten metres of runners to protect every centimetre of flooring, and someone will still ask if the crew can teleport straight onto a sixth-floor balcony. A clear access plan up front makes that conversation short.
What ZimQi really does
Crew check in and check out on Telegram in a few taps, with no app to download. The supervisor sees who's checked in and approves or rejects the hours in the chat.
ZimQi is now in early-access beta testing. Crew use Telegram.

Panel 2: 8:04 am, one small request from 6.02
The resident opens the door a crack.

Questions about this strip
Do my crew need to download an app?
No. They check in and out in Telegram, which most already have on their phones.
Who approves the hours?
A real person: the supervisor or owner you choose, right in the chat. If they reject, ZimQi asks why and the worker sees the reason.
