Staff App

Web app optimized for tablets and touchscreens. Use it at the counter for check-in, check-out, and night-of tools.

What it is

The Staff App is a browser-based interface designed for cloakroom counters. It works best on tablets with a rear or USB camera. NFC is optional for faster tag assignment.

Tip
Keep a printed staff cheatsheet next to the tablet for new team members.

Core tasks

  1. 1

    Check someone in

    Use Check In. Prefer pre-register QR/list or app QR when possible; otherwise enter an SMS phone number. Assign a tag, create the ticket, optionally attach a photo.

  2. 2

    Check someone out

    Use Check Out / redeem. Scan the ticket QR, enter the 4-digit code, or run rescue lookup. Confirm the tag on the hanger, then resolve.

  3. 3

    Handle edge cases

    • Pre-register list — guest lost the QR page
    • Rescue lookup — lost phone or dead battery
    • NFC tools — register or link tags (Tags & NFC)
