No hardware to hire
The scanner runs in the browser of an ordinary phone. No rented devices, no installation, no app store asking for an update at the worst possible moment.
Access control
A ticket scanner that keeps the line moving.
Your door team scans with the phone already in their pocket. Green is in, red is a second try with the same code, and you watch the room fill up from your own screen.
- Runs in the browser on a phone
- Every QR code is valid once
- Several entrances at the same time
At the door
What the scanner takes care of
Access control is one of those things that is only noticed when it goes wrong. This is what keeps it from going wrong.
Valid once, and that is that
A scanned code is marked as used immediately. A forwarded screenshot does not get in on the second attempt, and your door steward can see exactly why.
Several entrances at once
Several phones scan next to each other on one door, or on different entrances. The counts add up into one picture.
Letting someone in by hand
A flat phone, a ticket that never arrived: your team can find a guest by name and admit them by hand. That gets recorded, so it can be explained afterwards.
Camera on and off
Between two waves of guests you switch the camera off. That saves the battery of a phone that has to last all night.
A live count in your overview
While the door is running you see how many issued tickets are inside and how many are still outside. Useful for the cloakroom, the bar and the fire officer.

01
Set up the team
Give your door stewards the scanner role. They see the scanning screen for your events and not your sales figures or customer details.
02
Pick the event
Every phone selects the event it is scanning for. A ticket for last night is not accidentally accepted tonight.
03
Scan
Camera on the QR code, and the answer is on the screen: valid, already used, or not for this event. No hesitating in the doorway.
04
Check afterwards
After the night you see how many guests came in, how many tickets stayed unused and which manual admissions were made.

The count runs across all the phones together, so there is nothing to add up at the end of the night.

Questions we get
- What if the venue wifi gives up?
- A short drop does not have to stop the door: the phone carries on and the results catch up as soon as the connection returns. For an entrance with no coverage at all, admitting by hand stays available.
- Can someone use a screenshot of another guest's ticket?
- Only if they get to the door first. The code works once; the second attempt gets a red screen saying the ticket has already been scanned.
- Do my door stewards see my figures?
- No. The scanner role gives access to the scanning screen and nothing else. Sales figures, orders and customer details stay with the roles they belong to.
