Events and rental: Quotation software for tableware rental companies
Quotation software for tableware rental companies that prices quantities per crate, cleaning, linen and delivery, with the arrangements for returns and breakage set out in the proposal.
Where quotes for tableware rental companies get stuck.
Pricing a tableware order looks simple: quantity times hire rate. In practice tableware rental companies also deal with rounding to full crates, cleaning charges that differ per item, laundry fees for linen, delivery costs per address and a surcharge for Sunday or evening delivery. Adding that up by hand means an item gets forgotten now and then, or one customer gets a different cleaning rate from another. The rules on breakage and loss often sit in the terms rather than the quote itself. When a bill for fifteen broken glasses arrives after the party, the customer feels ambushed.

From enquiry to signed quote.
Fix quantities and return method
The salesperson turns the place setting list into items and quantities and chooses per order whether the tableware comes back dirty or rinsed. Linen gets its own line with size and colour. The quote rounds every item up to full crates and shows how many extra pieces the customer receives as a result.
Calculate cleaning and delivery
Cleaning is priced per item according to the chosen return method, and laundry per piece of linen. Delivery is priced by address and time window, with an evening or weekend surcharge if you use one. The salesperson sees every element separately and can record an adjustment with a reason.
Proposal with breakage terms
The proposal lists the items, cleaning, delivery and a clear paragraph on how breakage and loss are charged. The customer accepts online. That reserves the quantities for the date and puts the order ready for delivery and collection planning. Nothing has to be retyped.
Alongside your calculations and price lists.
Tableware rental companies usually work with a rental system or web shop holding item prices, plus a spreadsheet or fixed list for cleaning charges and delivery costs. The quotation software takes items and crate quantities from the rental system and keeps the rules for cleaning, linen and delivery in one place. Once accepted, the order goes back into the rental system as a reservation. You keep control of prices; the software only does the arithmetic.
Cleaning included or shown separately
An all in price including cleaning is easy for the customer to follow, but leaves no room for a discount when they rinse first. Cleaning as a separate line makes the choice visible and rewards tidy customers. Many companies use an inclusive price for private customers and a separate line for caterers who can rinse themselves.
Breakage per piece or flat charge
Charging breakage per piece is fair but needs an accurate count on return. A flat breakage charge per order is simple and avoids arguments over one glass, though careful customers find it unfair. A combination is common: a small allowance included and anything beyond that charged per piece.
Fixed prices or tiers for caterers
Regular caterers order often and in volume. Volume tiers or an annual agreement keep them loyal but complicate the pricing. The quotation software can store a price agreement per customer, so the salesperson does not have to remember which caterer gets which discount. Agreements that expire simply drop off the next quote.

Your way of pricing is in from the start: crate rounding, cleaning by return method, linen laundry, delivery by address and a breakage paragraph, with online acceptance. We take a private dinner returned dirty through it together, and a caterer on a price agreement who returns rinsed on a Sunday evening. Customer tiers, availability from the rental system and quotes in a second language are there when you need them.
View pricingSupport and updatesGood to know.
Explore pricing and optionsCan the customer see how many extra pieces crate rounding adds?
Yes. Each item shows the quantity requested, the quantity after rounding to full crates and the difference. The customer understands why the total is slightly higher than their own sum, and can decide to lower the number a little or simply use the extra pieces.
How do we handle a discount for rinsed returns?
The quote prices cleaning according to the chosen return method. If the tableware comes back dirty anyway, the warehouse sees that on return and the difference can be invoiced afterwards. Because the arrangement is in the proposal, it comes as no surprise to the customer.
Can we charge delivery by postcode area?
Yes. You can set delivery costs by area, by distance or as a flat rate, with evening or weekend surcharges. The quote uses the delivery address to pick the right price. For a location outside your usual area, the salesperson is prompted to set a price manually.
What if the customer adds glasses after accepting?
The salesperson adds a supplement to the existing quote rather than starting a new one. The extra glasses are checked for availability, rounded up to full racks and added to the same delivery. The customer sees the original order and the supplement together as one total.
