Know who's on every departure.
Manifest turns your bookings into a live passenger list for every tour and time slot. Assign your guide, check guests in with a QR scan, see dietary and medical needs before you set off, and know who still owes a balance. On the office screen and the guide's phone, even without signal.

The clipboard is always out of date.
Someone prints the passenger list in the morning. By lunchtime two more bookings have come in, one guest has asked for a vegetarian meal, and another still owes half the balance. None of that is on the paper in your guide's hand.
So the guide calls the office to ask who's missing. The office scrolls through bookings to find a phone number. Nobody is sure who was marked a no-show, or when. And at the end of the season, no one can say which departures ran short-staffed.
Manifest keeps one live list per departure, shared by the office and the guide.
Run the whole day from one view.
The day roster shows who is booked, checked in and staffed across all your departures, and points you to the ones that need attention.
Every departure on one screen
Pick a day and see every departure, grouped into what's in progress and what's coming up, with headcounts, assigned staff and a countdown to each start time.
Unstaffed departures, flagged
A departure with no guide assigned is marked Unstaffed. The calendar highlights days with gaps, and Next needing attention jumps straight to the next one.
Behind on check-in
As departure time approaches, Zuru flags any tour where fewer than half the guests are checked in or accounted for, so you can chase before the bus leaves.
How it works.
From the first booking to the last guest on board, in four steps.
- 01
Bookings fill the manifest
Every booking for a time slot lands on that departure's manifest automatically, with party size, contact details, special requirements and payment status.
No re-typing - 02
Assign your guide
Add one or more team members to the departure. Your guide gets an email and sees the tour in their own Your tours view on their phone.
Guide notified by email - 03
Check guests in
At the meeting point, scan each guest's booking QR code or type the reference. Check-ins appear on every open screen in real time.
Scan or type - 04
Close out the departure
Confirm any no-shows, add final notes and download a branded PDF of the final manifest for your records.
Branded PDF
Everything about every guest, in one row.
Six building blocks that replace the printout, the WhatsApp thread and the call back to the office.
Made for the meeting point, not just the office.
Tours don't always start where the Wi-Fi is. Manifest runs on your guide's phone straight from the browser, with no app to install, and keeps working when the signal drops.
Works without signal
Open the manifest before you leave the depot and it keeps working in the bush, on the water or underground. Check-ins, no-shows and notes are saved on the phone and sync when the guide reconnects.
The real time, not the sync time
Offline check-ins are recorded at the moment the guide tapped, so your booking history stays accurate even when the phone only reconnects hours later.
Live across every screen
When signal is there, every check-in shows up instantly on the office dashboard and on every other guide's phone working the same departure.
Only what each guide needs
Guides see the departures they're assigned to and nothing else. Check-in changes are only allowed from departure day until shortly after, so old records stay put.
Tuned to how you run departures.
Three optional settings for late arrivals and no-shows. All of them are off until you switch them on.
Flag late passengers
Choose how many minutes after departure a guest counts as late. Late guests get a red badge so the guide knows who to call first.
Confirm no-shows
After a set time, Zuru asks staff to confirm who didn't turn up, or hold for them a bit longer. No-shows are never recorded automatically.
Set your behind-on-check-in window
Decide how long before departure Zuru starts flagging tours where most guests aren't checked in yet. Leave it blank to use the default.
