Where event hire gets messy

Peak weekends stretch your stock

A Saturday wedding and a Sunday corporate lunch draw on the same chairs and tables. You need to know how many of each are free right now before you say yes to the next enquiry — not after.

What comes back is never what went out

You send out 150 chairs and 300 glasses. Some return on Sunday night, the rest after clean-up, and a few never do. Counting returns in batches, against the right event, is where paper and spreadsheets give up.

Breakages and missing pieces

Cracked plates, lost cutlery and stained linen are small amounts that add up. With the replacement cost already on each item you can charge for them at return, instead of working it out afterwards — or forgetting.

Delivery and setup are real costs

Much of the work in event hire is not the hire itself. If delivery, setup, dismantling and waiting time are buried in the price, you cannot see what an event actually earned.

What you get — free

Stock per item

Owned, out and available for every chair, table, marquee and place setting, with a low-stock warning at the level you choose.

Draft orders for confirmed events

Build the order as soon as the booking is confirmed — chairs, tables, linen, tableware — without it counting as out. It moves to out when the van leaves.

Returns in batches

Record what comes back on Sunday night and what comes back after clean-up. Each batch is charged for the days it was actually out.

Breakages and missing items

Mark pieces broken or lost at return, with replacement cost pre-filled from the item. Written-off pieces leave your available stock.

Delivery, setup and collection as lines

Delivery, collection, labour (setup, dismantling, waiting time), cleaning and late fees are separate lines on the invoice.

A price for each client

Pricing is per order line, so one client pays your standard rate and another a negotiated one — even for the same chair.

Categories that follow your trade

Group items as Seating, Tables, Marquees, Linen, Tableware, Staging — categories are free text, so they match how you already think about stock.

Invoices with your tax

VAT, GST or sales tax with your registration number, ready to print or save as a PDF.

Worked example: 150 chairs for a weekend wedding

A wedding hires 150 Chiavari chairs from Friday 12 June at £3.50 per chair per day. One hundred and thirty-eight come back on Sunday 14 June after the reception, and the last twelve after clean-up on Tuesday 16 June. The return day counts as a rental day, and each batch pays for its own time:

Chiavari chairsDays outCharge
138 returned 14 Jun 20263£1,449.00
12 returned 16 Jun 20265£210.00
Hire charge£1,659.00
VAT (20%)£331.80
Total£1,990.80

Frequently asked questions

Does it work for multi-day events?

Yes. Each returned batch is charged from the day it went out to the day it came back, so a weekend wedding, a week-long festival and a one-night party are all billed correctly.

Can I track glasses, plates and cutlery in bulk?

Yes. Items are tracked by type and quantity, so “Wine Glass × 600” works the way you would expect. Items can be counted as pieces or sets.

Can I charge delivery, setup and collection?

Yes. Delivery, collection, labour for setup and dismantling, and cleaning are extra charge lines on the order, shown separately on the invoice.

Can different clients pay different prices?

Yes. The rate is set on each order line, so you can give a regular client a better price on the same item without changing your catalog.

Does it have a booking calendar?

Not today. It tracks what is out and what is available right now, rather than reserving stock for future dates.

Is it really free?

Yes. Sign in with Google and use the whole system — unlimited items, customers and orders — with no card and no trial countdown. Early users keep free access.
