The day before
- Sign up on the website or in the app with the organiser's mobile number. The account is ready in a minute.
- Choose "Event" as the kind of place. The gate is set up for a fixed price taken at the entry, the way event parking works.
- Type the vehicle types and the price of each: two-wheeler, car, bus.
- Add each volunteer by name and mobile number under Staff, and give each a PIN. They install Paski from Google Play and sign in with the number and the PIN; no email, no WhatsApp needed on their phone.
- If there are two gates, add the second as a branch so each gate has its own count.
On the day
Each volunteer opens the app and starts a shift, so the money they take is counted to them. A vehicle comes in, the volunteer taps its type and the ticket is issued, paid, at the fixed price. If the owner wants the ticket on their phone, their mobile is typed and it goes on WhatsApp; otherwise the number plate is the ticket. A Bluetooth printer in a volunteer's bag prints a paper slip for those who want one.
The organiser watches the gate from their own phone: vehicles in by type, money taken in cash and by UPI, by each volunteer, live. Twenty volunteers in a rush is normal; the limit is 15 gate staff a gate.
Taking the money
Cash is counted to the volunteer's shift. For UPI the volunteer taps "UPI" and the app draws a QR for the exact price with the organiser's UPI id, so the money goes to the organiser's account, not to the volunteer's. The volunteer sees the payment succeed on the owner's phone and marks the ticket paid.
At the end of each volunteer's shift the app prints or shows a sheet: vehicles by type, cash taken, UPI taken. The volunteer hands over the cash with the sheet, and a difference needs a note.
When there is no signal
A fairground or a temple yard often has a weak signal. The app keeps issuing tickets with no connection and hands them to the server when the signal returns. Two volunteers at the same gate with no signal never issue the same ticket number.
After the event
The report shows the whole event: vehicles by type, by day, by gate, by volunteer, and the money taken each way. It downloads as a spreadsheet for the accounts. The account stays for the next event: the trial ends, nothing is deleted for sixty days, and a day plan at ₹25 a day for each gate covers the next weekend. An event that runs every month can take the monthly plan instead.
What it costs
Nothing for an event inside the 15-day trial. WhatsApp tickets come out of the 100 free messages a new account has; a paper or no-message ticket costs nothing. Afterwards, ₹25 a day for a gate.
