For your event, the gates keep going at the busiest hour, and every unit, deposit and drawer is on record.
Keeps renting with no signal
When the fairground signal drops, each gate tablet keeps renting and saves every rental. The office catches up as soon as it reconnects.
One record, no quiet changes
Every rental, deposit and cash drawer goes in one record. A saved line is never edited. A fix is added as a new line, so the first one stays.
Licenses and keys by box
A license or keys left at the gate are logged with the numbered box they went into, so staff hand back the right one.
Cards on the reader, deposits held
The tablet sends the amount to a card reader and the guest taps there. A deposit can be held on the card and let go when the unit comes back in good order.
Drawers that balance each night
Each drawer closes with the expected cash and the difference. On a run of event days, every morning starts from the same record.
Returns at any gate
A unit rented at one gate can come back at another. Every gate sees the same units and the same bookings.
A live board for the office
Every unit and every gate updates as rentals happen. A unit that is not back shows as overdue.
Details filled in while they wait
Guests can enter their details on their own phone in line. At the gate, a short code brings the rental up ready to go.
