Getting people there, and getting them seated.
Two ways people get in. They book a place themselves, or you invite them by name. Either way they end up ticketed, seated, and in your contacts.
Free to start. No card. No fee per ticket.
They book a place themselves.
One link in your newsletter or your group chat. People choose, pay, and get a ticket. Choices can carry a price, a children's portion, a T-shirt, and the total adds itself up.
You invite them by name.
Paste the list, send the invitations, watch the replies come in. Then lay out the room and drag everybody onto a chair, families together.
What both share.
The seating plan
Round, long, square, a head table. Drag them around a plan of the room, drop guests on chairs, or let it seat the whole list with families together.
Tickets and the door
Every person gets a QR code by e-mail. At the door you scan it with your phone and see who is in and who is still outside.
Paper for the day
One PDF: the plan, who sits where per table, and a place card for every chair. A read-only link for the venue that always shows the latest version.
Contacts
Everybody who came to anything, in one book, with the date and the wording of their consent. Kept apart from the people you invoice.
The handover
Whoever booked a place shows up in the guest list, already paid, already counted, with their dietary answer, ready to seat.
And the invoice
A paid booking is an invoice in your own numbering, already in your books. That is the part no events tool can do.
One record, both products
- Ana books a place for four and pays.
- Four tickets with QR codes land in her inbox.
- Four guests appear in the guest list, already paid, dietary answer included.
- Seated together on Table 3, printed on the place cards.
- An invoice in your numbering sits in your books.
Questions people ask.
- Bookings or Guests, which one do I need?
- Bookings when people sign themselves up through a link you share: a workshop, a quiz night, a spaghetti evening, a camp. Guests when you invite specific people by name and want their reply: a wedding, a gala, a jubilee. A club banquet often uses both, and the two hand over to each other: whoever booked shows up in the guest list, ready to seat.
- What do they share?
- The seating plan, the QR tickets and the scanner at the door, the printed lists and place cards, and Contacts: everybody who ever came to anything of yours, with a note of whether you may write to them.
- Is it free?
- Free to start on both. A free account keeps 5 booking pages open and 2 guest lists, with 25 guests on each. Bookings themselves are never capped. Everything beyond that is one subscription with the whole of Billr in it, and for a one-off occasion like a wedding there will be a single event pass.
- Do you take a fee per ticket?
- No. Nothing per booking, nothing per ticket. Connect your own payment account and the money goes from your participant straight to you.
Most tools do one of these.
The paperwork does not stop at the edge of one tool. Somebody books a place at your workshop, pays, gets a seat at a table, and needs an invoice. In Billr that is one record moving through two products, not four spreadsheets.
