Show staff the right details when they scan

When a guest walks up, your staff have seconds to decide whether this is the right person. This setting chooses the words that appear on the scanner after each scan, so they can confirm a name, a company, or a seat without opening anything else.

Step 1

Pick useful fields

At a busy door, a name alone is often not enough. Pick details that settle doubts fast, such as company, ticket type, or seat — things staff can check against what the guest tells them.

Step 2

Build the format

Put those fields together with short labels or separators, like Name · Company · Seat. That combined line is what shows up big on the scanner after each scan.

Step 3

Scan a test ticket

Scan your own ticket on a phone: if you can read the card at arm’s length in a second, your staff can too.
