For ticket-selling agencies
The day is already written in Excel. The unpaid tickets are still in someone’s head.
A workbook cannot search last March. It does not show the counter as it stands this afternoon. And the file forks the first time two people save it — final, final-2, final-v7. Daftaros is one desk for the tickets, the open money, and the cash that has to match.

What the sheet cannot do
These are not abstract software features. They are the reasons a ticket counter outgrows Excel.

Money left open does not wait for month-end.
If an unpaid ticket is not on a list, it is not collected. Dues shows who still owes, how much, and who wrote the sale — while the passenger can still be reached.

Cash that does not match the book is today’s problem.
The drawer and the sheet disagree because they were never the same book. Collection sets expected cash from cleared dues and shows a mismatch the same afternoon.

A shared workbook is not a roster.
Excel does not know who sat at the counter. Daftaros does: invited seats, a named administrator, and a hard limit. Extra seats are granted, not sold on a public page.

Daftaros opens the desk. There is no self-serve signup.
Send the city, the headcount, and a contact. If the counter is a fit, Daftaros creates the agency and the first seats.
