Maximizing Efficiency: How Many Chair Dollies Does Your Event Business Need?
Written by: Marcelo Flores
If you’re a new party rental or event venue, you may be wondering how many dollies you need at your event business. Well, you’re not alone. In this post, we’ll delve into how to determine the quantity of dollies you need for your business.
People Available
The first obvious factor is how many people you have available to use the chair carts. It doesn’t matter if you have 1,000 chairs and 10 dollies. If you only have one person available, you won’t be able to move all 10 dollies at the same time.
So start with this. If you have the potential to host events for 500 people and have a crew of about 5 people, you’ll probably need 5 dollies. You could use fewer, but it’s better to have too many than too few when you need them.
Dollies Needed per Chair
At Seat Co we suggest having at least 1 chair dolly for every 100 chairs. Setting events fast is key to maximize efficiency. And efficiency is money, so it’s important to keep this in mind.
When Do I Need a Chair Dolly?
If you’re a wedding venue that doesn’t move chairs around, you may not need a dolly. However, if you frequently relocate chairs or are a party rental business, having chair dollies is a must.
Ensure you match the number of dollies to your event business’s needs. Consider factors like crew size, event types, and venue layout. Proper planning will streamline operations and save on costs. This makes your investment in dollies a wise choice for efficiency and growth.
