App tickets

Create and redeem tickets for customers who already use the CoatCheck consumer app.

Overview

When a guest has the CoatCheck app, check-in is faster: scan their personal QR code instead of typing a phone number. They keep the ticket inside the app for checkout.

Tip
If the guest does not have the app, use SMS tickets instead.

Check in

  1. 1

    Scan the customer QR code

    Open the Staff App scanner and scan the QR code from the customer's CoatCheck app.

  2. 2

    Assign a tag and create the ticket

    Assign a physical tag (hanger number), then create the ticket. The customer receives a 4-digit code and the ticket in their app.

    Details: Tags & NFC

  3. 3

    Attach a photo (optional)

    Optionally photograph the belongings after ticket creation for easier identification later.

  1. 1

    Identify the ticket

    • QR code — scan the ticket QR from the customer's app (or a shared public ticket link). Staff App: Redeem Ticket
    • Rescue lookup — if they cannot open the app: Check Out → Rescue Lookup, locate by phone or other details on file
  2. 2

    Redeem the tag and resolve

    Retrieve the hanger shown in the app, then complete checkout. The customer is notified that pickup is complete.

    Note
    NFC-assigned tags still display as their linked text tag for pickup.
