Headcount

Know how many faces fit before you say yes.

Headcount turns a guest count, a drawing style and a booking length into faces an hour, artists needed and a fee you can send. On the night, it counts the queue for you. It runs in your browser and keeps every booking on your device.

Wedding planner, 4:12 pm

Hi! We have 120 guests for the sangeet. Can you draw everyone in 3 hours? And what will it cost?

Every booking starts with this message.

Most artists answer it with mental arithmetic, then either under-quote or spend the last hour apologising to the line. Headcount answers it properly, while the planner is still waiting for your reply.

  1. 120 guests. About 90 will queue.

    Not everyone wants a drawing. Tell Headcount what share will queue, and it plans for the faces you'll actually draw.

  2. Head only, 5 minutes a face. That's 12 an hour.

    Your own speed per style, including the changeover. Three hours fits 36 whole drawings. Headcount never counts half a face.

  3. 54 guests would miss out.

    That's the conversation to have now, not at 11 pm. Headcount shows you two ways to draw everyone, each with its fee.

    • 3 artists for 3 h · ₹27,000
    • 1 artist for 7 h 30 min · ₹22,500

  4. Pick one. Everyone gets drawn.

    Tap "Use this" and the plan fills in. Save it, and the quote is ready to send.

Plan it. Send it. Count it.

  1. Plan the booking.

    Guest count, the share who'll queue, drawing style, hours and artists. The plan updates as you type, so you can try numbers with the client on the phone.

  2. Send the quote.

    Print a one-page A4 sheet, or copy a short message ready for WhatsApp or SMS. The fee shows how it's built: artists, hours, rate, travel.

  3. Count the night.

    Start the night and tap once per drawing; a couple counts as two faces. Headcount shows who's still waiting, your pace, and how long the rest will take.

One big button, for the busiest three hours of your week.

Between drawings you have a second, maybe two. Tap "Drew 1 guest", or "Drew a couple" for two faces. Headcount works out who's still waiting and how long they'll take at your pace. A dead battery won't lose the count.

    Minimum booking and travel fee are built in, and each quote keeps its own rate, so changing your prices never rewrites an old quote.
