300-cap show with one door volunteer
One phone, one staff, scans 300 tickets in 35 minutes. Stats update live.
No app install. Any phone. Multi-staff scanning across lanes. Real-time stats so you know how many people are still in line.
What hurts
Hardware-tied scanners are expensive, scarce on event day, and tied to one platform's lock-in. App-based scanners require every staff member to install something on their personal phone (and remember the password). Both fail when you have a volunteer who didn't get the memo.
How Jamrats handles it
The Jamrats scanner is a browser page. Your door staff open jamrats.com/scan/{event-id} on their phone, log in once, and scan. No app, no install, no hardware.
Multi-staff is a built-in primitive — every org member can scan, every device works in parallel, every scan aggregates centrally.
Live stats: how many people scanned in, how many no-shows, breakdown by ticket type. Refresh and you know whether the line is moving.
