Spreadsheet or booking software?
A spreadsheet works for a few rides a week. Booking software pays off when you quote the same prices daily, dispatch to several drivers and count money at the end of the month.
Side by side
| Spreadsheet and phone | Booking software | |
|---|---|---|
| Taking a booking | Call or message, you type it in | The customer fills in the form |
| Quoting a price | You work it out each time | Calculated by your rules |
| Closed days | You remember to refuse | The form refuses |
| Giving the ride to a driver | Message and wait | Email link, the first accept gets it |
| Month end | Add up by hand | A report for each driver |
| Cost | Free, plus your time | A monthly price |
When the spreadsheet is enough
If you take a handful of rides a week and drive them yourself, keep the spreadsheet. Move when the time you spend on bookings is time you could spend on rides.
