Our dance organization has chosen a low tech solution that seems to have worked well. We put together a cash box and four tally counters (shown in the photo) that yields statistics for correct count for attendance as well as a means for determining correct attendance recieipts - or at least an means of determining error. The associated Dance Cash and Tally Box Record sheet provides a record and means of attaching any receipts for expenses that might have been necessary for the event, as well as the receipt for the cash deposit at the bank.

Subject: [Organizers] Admission Table "Cash Register"?

Hey all,

Do any of you have/use a program for your door sitters which acts as a cash register?

I've done some research to find a suitable simple program or app and have not found one yet. Most of the truly simple ones are targeted at restaurants/bars. There are some ticketing applications but they're aimed at theatres, etc. and nothing inexpensive at all.

Need to keep it super simple for the door sitters and am hoping to use a touch screen Android tablet as the interface. Would love to greatly speed up the tally and cash box/accounting process for the night, improve accuracy and potentially create single use volunteer passes on the spot.

I've started hacking up something on my own but before I spend too much time there I thought I'd ask what others have done.

-Don
