Rentman Alternative

    Looking for a Rentman alternative?

    Rentman manages rental equipment, crew and transport for events. Batchtab adds recipe-based production, batch and expiry tracking and multi-day kitchen scheduling.

    TL;DR

    Rentman is rental and production management software for AV and event companies, with a dedicated party-rental offering. Batchtab covers the kitchen side after the order: recipe-based quantities, batch and expiry tracking, and multi-day production scheduling, plus packing and routes. No recipe-scaling or allergen feature appears in Rentman's published feature lists (checked 2026-10-24). Rentman fits best when equipment availability, crew and transport per project are the core of the business; Batchtab fits when you also cook.

    One chain after the order

    Production, packing with scan, optimized routes, proof of delivery and return trips in one system.
