Using the QR barcode scanner
Back to top
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, even if you only have to visit the Today booking group.
Scanning like this gets you through a line of eager customers very quickly.
Point your device's camera to the QR code on the Customer's invoice to complete the scan. You should be able to see the QR code image on your screen.
Once the app recognizes the QR code, it automatically pulls up your booking details.
Once the booking pops up on the screen, the Staff member can tap the Check-In Switch, and the customer is checked in. "Next!".
Please go here for additional details on QR codes, including how to activate the add-on through the desktop site.
