How it works

Three steps to an open door.

  1. 1

    Find

    The map shows public toilets and tuluu partners with opening hours and facilities, such as step-free access or baby changing.

  2. 2

    Open

    At tuluu partners you buy a ToiletTicket in the app. Then you show it to the staff or open the door straight from the app.

  3. 3

    Get it back

    Every ToiletTicket comes with a voucher of the same value. Redeem it at the partner, right away or later.

Also in the app

  • Every toilet in one app
  • Saved vouchers
  • Usage history
  • Report faults, add details
  • Add a toilet
  • Report where toilets are missing
  • Occupied status
  • Filters for step-free and baby changing

The map

Four pins. Each one tells you something.

  • tuluu partner

    A café, restaurant or shop that opens its toilet to everyone. Access with a ToiletTicket.

  • Public toilet

    Municipal facility, free or with a fee on site.

  • With ToiletTicket

    Coin-operated toilet that opens via the app. Coins still work. Coming soon to the first cities.

  • Fault reported

    Someone has reported a fault. The report goes to the operator.

A toilet is missing? Suggest it in the app. That way the map grows where it is needed.

Why a ticket?

You pay. And you get it back.

The ToiletTicket makes it worthwhile for businesses to open their toilet to everyone and keep it clean. So that it costs you nothing in the end, you get the amount back as a voucher.

Example with €1.00. The partner sets the minimum order for the voucher. Vouchers are valid for up to twelve months.

Information, innovation, infrastructure

tuluu is digital hygiene infrastructure.

The app is the visible part. Behind it, tuluu connects locks, payments, reports and data in one platform. Cities, businesses and chains use it to make their toilets accessible and measurable.

  1. Find

    One dataset for every toilet in a city: public, private, temporary.

  2. Open

    Smart lock, relay for coin-operated toilets, QR code or app.

  3. Pay

    ToiletTicket, voucher and City-Bon, settlement included.

  4. Report and measure

    Citizen reports, fault reports and anonymous analytics.

For everyone

Made for everyone who needs to go.

Toiletten für alle

Since May 2025 the app shows the locations of “Toiletten für alle”: large accessible toilets with a changing bench and hoist for people with severe disabilities, in cooperation with Stiftung Leben pur.

Press release (German)

Step-free and baby changing

The app shows which toilets are step-free or have baby changing. With the tuluu babystation, partners add more changing spots.

Without a smartphone, too

Coin-operated toilets with a tuluu relay still open with coins. Digital access is added, nothing is taken away.

About tuluu

Founded out of conviction.

“We solve the urban toilet problem cooperatively and with few resources, through a digital platform, so that a toilet is within 150 metres.”

tuluu is a social enterprise from Frankfurt am Main with its own development team. The idea came out of a 2018 consulting project that made the lack of public toilets visible. Since then tuluu has brought publicly accessible toilets together in one digital infrastructure and added new ones, whoever runs them.

Questions

Good to know.

Anything else? Write to support@tuluu.app.

What does the app cost?
Downloading and searching are free. At tuluu partners you buy a ToiletTicket and get the amount back as a voucher. Public toilets are free or charge their usual fee on site.
Do I have to buy something at the partner?
No. Your ToiletTicket lets you use the toilet without ordering anything. You can redeem the voucher, but you don't have to.
How long is my voucher valid?
Up to twelve months. You can see the exact conditions, such as a minimum order, in the app for each partner.
Does it work without the app?
Soon, yes: at locations with a tuluu QR sticker you will scan the code, sign in briefly, pay and the door opens, right in your browser. Until then you need the app, which you can also use as a guest.
Which cities is tuluu available in?
The map is not limited to one city or country: it holds more than 40,000 public toilets. tuluu partners are so far mainly in Frankfurt am Main, with more cities in Germany and Austria to follow.
A toilet is missing or broken. What can I do?
Report it right in the app. Missing toilets and faults go to us and to the operator.
What data does tuluu store?
Only what is needed for your account and payment. Analytics for cities and partners are anonymous. Details are in our privacy notice.

Next time, you'll know where to go.
