Front-of-house · Front Desk

The interface your team uses ten times a day.

Badge scan or name lookup, program rosters that light up at the door, lost-card recovery in seven seconds, and visitor handling that doesn't slow down the line. Designed for the volunteer who started last Tuesday — and the director who's been here for fifteen years.

What it does

The capabilities that earn this module's place.

Badge scan-in

Tap. Logged. Go.

Every active member's badge scans in under a second. Membership status, age eligibility, dietary flags, and the programs they're enrolled in surface immediately. No "is the system loading" pause, no second screen, no awkward conversation while the wheel spins.

  • Sub-second scan response
  • Active-membership check at the door
  • Program and meal eligibility surfaced in one view

Name lookup

Karen forgot her badge. Find her in three letters.

Type the first three letters of a first or last name; the matching members appear with photos, household, and current programs. One tap checks them in. Works for forgotten badges, guests, and the new member who joined yesterday but doesn't have her card yet.

  • Type-ahead member search
  • Photo + household for confidence
  • One-tap check-in from the search result

Program rosters at the door

The 9 AM class roster, already on screen.

When members tap in, the front desk and the instructor both see the live roster for the next class. Waitlist members get a quick "there's a seat" nudge. Instructors check in their roster from their phone at the studio without a second login.

  • Live roster updates at the door
  • Waitlist promotion in one tap
  • Instructor view on phone or tablet

Lost-card recovery

New badge in seven seconds.

Frank's badge is in the parking lot somewhere. Pull up his record, grab any spare card or fob, and scan it on. The old code deactivates automatically and the new one identifies him the instant it scans. He's checked in before the line behind him notices.

  • One-tap reassign to any spare credential
  • Audit-logged so missing badges don't pile up
  • Old badge auto-deactivates to prevent reuse

Visitors & guests

Sign-in for the people who don't have a badge.

A vendor, a new prospect, a family member picking someone up. Visitor sign-in captures name, photo, who they're visiting, and the reason. The line keeps moving. Visitor logs are searchable later — useful for insurance, useful for security, useful for the day someone asks who was here on Tuesday.

  • Photo and reason captured in the visitor log
  • Search the visitor log by date, name, or host
  • No badge or membership required

A workflow walkthrough

A Tuesday morning at the counter.

The first ninety minutes of an opening shift, beat by beat. Whoever's at the desk handles all of it — same workflow every day.

  1. 8:30 AM — Doors open. Patricia is first in. Her badge scans, the 9 AM Yoga roster lights up, the front-desk volunteer sees she's signed up. She heads for the studio.

  2. 8:55 AM — A new family arrives. They signed up online last night. The volunteer pulls up the household, scans two cards from the stack onto their records, and gets them to their first class with two minutes to spare.

  3. 9:00 AM — Class rosters lock. Yoga, Watercolor, and Bridge all light up on the instructor tablets in their respective rooms. The front desk sees who's still missing in case someone calls running late.

  4. 9:34 AM — Frank's card is expired. His scan triggers a soft alert: "Membership expired Sunday." The volunteer offers him the renewal flow on the kiosk; he taps through, his card on file charges, he's good for another year. Total time: two minutes.

  5. 11:00 AM — The morning's check-ins are already in reports. The director pulls up this morning's attendance from her office. Yoga ran 18/20. Watercolor had three drop-ins. Frank renewed. The audit log shows every action with the volunteer's name attached.
