Event-day reliability
What if you’re down during my event?
Your event continues. The door scanner works with no internet at all — it queues every arrival on the device and syncs when signal returns — and every event can print a recovery pack: a door list that needs no network, no app and no Evorrah. If we vanished entirely on the night, somebody at the door with that sheet still runs the room.
The venue with no signal.
Cellars, marquees, castles, ballrooms below street level — the places worth designing an event for are frequently the places with no bars of signal. A check-in system that assumes connectivity is a system that fails precisely where it is needed.
The door scanner is built for that. It installs as a service worker, so it opens and runs from the device itself. Scans are held in an on-device queue and reconciled when the connection returns. A guest who arrives during an outage is admitted immediately, not asked to wait.
No green tick it can’t justify
If a lookup fails, the screen says the lookup failed. It does not show a stale head count without saying the count is stale.
One tablet, one connection, one point of failure
When the signal drops the queue stops, and the fallback is a spreadsheet somebody has to find, print and interpret at the door.
Why “people, not rows” is the whole difference.
One line in a guest list can be a household of four — a primary guest, a named plus-one, two children. A door sheet printed straight from those lines hands the person on the door 180 entries for a 400-person wedding, and no way to admit the other 220.
The recovery pack expands households into individual names before it prints, using the same counting logic as the rest of the system. That matters beyond convenience: a door list that disagrees with the head count is how a room ends up over its fire code.
What to do on the day, in order.
- Print the recovery pack the week before. One document from your portal — put it in the folder that goes to the venue.
- Open the scanner once, on site, while there is still signal. It caches itself onto the device and no longer needs the network.
- Scan as normal. Arrivals queue locally if the connection drops and reconcile the moment it returns.
- If anything at all looks wrong, use the sheet. It lists people, not rows, so a family of four is four names a doorman can tick.
The promise
The night does not depend
on us being up.
Arrival and live event-day support are part of Fully Handled — and the recovery pack exists for every event, on every plan.
