How to make an app for a tent house

In the wedding season a tent house may send out stock to four functions on the same day. The real question is not only whether the date is free, but whether 600 chairs are left after the other bookings. An app keeps bookings, stock on each date and the return count in one place.

Who uses the app

The owner, and often a munshi at the godown. On one phone, the data stays on it. If the godown, the owner and the setup team leader use different phones, or you want a booking calendar everyone sees, connect your own Supabase database.

The screens a tent house app needs

Bookings: Each function with date, place, customer, guest count, items booked and the quote
Calendar: Bookings by date, and how many of each item are already out on that day
Stock: Every item with the total you own, how many are out today and how many are under repair
Loading sheet: What goes on the vehicle for each function, ticked as it is loaded
Returns: Items counted back after the function, with broken or missing items and the charge
Payments: Advance, balance and damage charges for each booking
Labour: Setup team for each function and their daily wages

Features worth asking for

A warning when a booking needs more chairs or crockery than are left on that date
A loading sheet as a PDF to give the driver and team
A return count that works out the charge for broken or missing items
A quote as a PDF from the items and packages chosen
A WhatsApp message to the customer with the date, items and balance due
A map pin for each function's venue, opened in Google Maps by the team
Hindi labels for the godown munshi

Where the data lives

If only you use the app, the data stays on your phone. If the godown, the setup team leader and you all use it, or customers see free dates, connect your own Supabase database so everyone sees the same bookings and stock.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Bookings, Calendar, Stock, Loading sheet, Returns.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your tent house, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my tent house, Bajrang Tent House in Hisar. Screens: bookings, calendar, stock, loading sheet, returns, payments and labour. Stock: 1,500 chairs, 80 tables, 4 shamianas, crockery sets, 20 coolers, lights. A booking has date, place, customer, items and quote. Warn if items are short on that date after other bookings. Make a loading sheet PDF for the driver. After the function, count returns and charge broken or missing items. Track advance and balance, and wages for the setup team. Hindi and English labels. Red and yellow.

Tips for a tent house app

Count your stock once properly before you start; the date warnings are only as good as that count.
Start with bookings and stock for the coming season. Add labour and returns once the first functions are done.
Write your damage rates for each item, such as a broken plate or a torn chadar, so the return charge is worked out the same way every time.
Ask for the loading sheet in Hindi if your team reads Hindi.
Give the setup team only the loading sheet and returns screens, not payments.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to weighing scales, billing machines or vehicle trackers, and there is no live tracking of your vehicles. Messages to customers go out when you tap the WhatsApp button.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app tell me if I have enough chairs on a date?

Yes. Each booking takes items out of stock for its date, and the app warns you if a new booking needs more than are left.

Can the app keep track of broken crockery after a function?

Yes. Count items back on the returns screen; the app shows what is missing or broken and works out the charge at your rates.

Can customers see my free dates in the app?

Yes, if you connect your own Supabase database. Without it, the calendar lives on your phone and customers ask on WhatsApp.

Can my team see where the function is?

Yes. Each booking can have a map pin or Google Maps link for the venue that the team opens on their phone.

Can the app make a quote for a wedding?

Yes. Pick the items or package and the app makes a quote PDF you share on WhatsApp.

Can I use the app for catering and lights as well?

Yes. Add catering items and lights to your stock and packages, and they are booked and counted the same way.
