For tour managers who think ahead

Don’t Miss Bus Call

Simplify the repeatable tour management tasks, from building the day sheet to settling the show.

The intelligent way to tour

Ask BusCall who’s on the guest list, add a promo to the schedule, or upload an expense. BusCall has the full context of your tour and helps keep you organized.

Compared it to your deal and Band Kit. Doors 7PM, load-in 2PM, curfew 11PM are added to San Diego’s day sheet now. Two things don’t match: the hospitality rider is missing two items, and the deposit shows $3,000 vs $3,750 in the deal. Want me to draft a note to the promoter?

Your tour manager has a show to run, but they can’t be everywhere.

BusCall keeps the day sheet current, the crew informed and the money counted, so the people on the bus get back to the show, the band and the city they’re in.

FAQs

Have any questions?

I use Daysheets for flights. Can I keep it?

Yes. Keep it for flights. BusCall runs the show, the money and what the crew learns about the room, and your schedule lands in the same calendars everyone already checks.

Switching from another tour app?

Paste last tour’s roster and your crew is in within minutes. Everything you build exports any time, so you are never locked in.

How long before my tour is in?

An afternoon. Paste last tour’s roster, set your typical night once, add your dates, and every show starts from it.

Can the crew see the settlement?

Only if you let them. Crew see the schedule, their room and their own per diems. Money stays with the people you choose, and every money change is logged.

When the tour ends, is my stuff still mine?

Yes. Export everything as CSV and JSON any time. Ask us to delete it and we will.

Can I run it from my phone on the bus?

Yes. It installs to your home screen and works anywhere you have a signal: the bus, the venue, the sidewalk between soundcheck and doors.

Is this AI? What’s it actually doing?

It reads the advance against your deal and Band Kit, fills in the day sheet and flags what doesn’t match. It reads a deal memo into the deal terms for you to check. It drafts Road Notes from what you tell it, answers questions about your tour, and when you ask it to change something, it shows you the change and waits for your yes.
