Welcome to ReelCount! 🎬✨

ReelCount is a simple, secure platform designed to help film and television productions manage catering numbers with ease. Instead of paper lists or guesswork, ReelCount gives your team real-time insights into who has collected their meals, where, and when.


πŸš€ How It Works

  • πŸ“² Scanning on Site – At catering locations, crew scan their pass on an iPad running the ReelCount Scanner app.

  • πŸ“Š The Dashboard – Production teams see live numbers as meals are collected, helping them track attendance and avoid waste.

  • πŸ“… Scheduling – You decide who has access to which site on which day, so counts are always accurate.

  • πŸ“‘ Reporting – At the end of each day, ReelCount produces clear reports comparing expected vs actual numbers.

  • Improve budgeting with accurate daily headcounts.
