BUS STOCK & SHOPPING

The good stuff.
On board.

Coffee for the early start. Snacks for the night drive. Give everyone a simple place to ask, and your shopping team a clear list to work from.

A LITTLE LESS ORGANISING

Small comforts. A lot less organising.

Ask for what you need.

Choose your admin-added name, then enter an item, quantity and unit. Add a preferred brand or note when the details matter.

Give everyone a cutoff.

Set a collection deadline for the buses you choose. Eligible phone-app members receive a notice when it is set and a reminder an hour before.

Keep every bus accounted for.

Collect requests into a shopping run while keeping each bus’s allocation. Record purchases, substitutions and deliveries so the list reflects what happened.

HOW IT WORKS

From “we’re out” to all stocked up.

Read the shopping-run guide
  1. 01

    Collect the requests

    Enable stock and add requester names. They can use the bus link without being passengers.

  2. 02

    Make a shopping run

    Collect manually or schedule a cutoff. Requests from several buses can go into one run.

  3. 03

    Record the handover

    Update purchased quantities, then delivered quantities for each bus. Drivers can see whether stock is still expected.

A shopping list for the bus. Not another shop to log into.

Crew request supplies from your tour team. Bus Mum organises those requests and their delivery; it does not sell the items or charge crew when they add something to the list.

GOOD TO KNOW

A few things
before you go.

Search all help guides
Can someone order stock without being a passenger?

Yes. Add their name for stock access without marking them as a passenger. You can also run stock management with passenger management switched off.

Does scanning the QR code turn on phone notifications?

No. Browser push is not currently provided. Push notices are for members using the optional phone app who have enabled notifications for that bus. The website still works without the app.

What happens if someone misses the cutoff?

They should contact their tour admin or shopping team. A collected or closed request cycle should not be assumed to accept late changes.

Can we track something that could not be bought?

Yes. Runners can record unavailable quantities and substitutions. Purchased and delivered quantities are tracked separately, so buying an item does not automatically mark it delivered.

Make the next stock run simpler.

7 days free. No payment card needed. Per bus, not per person.
