The QR Code scanner is located at the top of the app home screen, on the right-hand side. Tap this button to activate the scanner. You may need to grant the app permission to take pictures and record videos the first time you open the scanner. Just tap Allow to continue.

Once activated, a staff member simply needs to scan the QR Barcode on a customer's invoice to instantly pull up the booking in their app. This saves valuable time compared to locating the booking manually.

Being able to scan like this gets you through a line of eager customers very quickly indeed. In order to complete the scan, point your device's camera at the QR code on the customer's invoice. You should be able to see the QR code image on your screen. Once the app recognizes the QR code, it automatically pulls up the booking details for you.
