Today, the most efficient method to manage a guest list of over 1,000 at the door is to check them on a piece of paper as they come in and the next day have a person mark in UrVenue who showed up.

We have tested digital checkin with various notebooks, iPods and even ID scanning, at some of the largest clubs, but they all added too much overhead compared to checking a printed guest list. Having a station to checkin guests works at smaller venues but not at large venues where you have numerous hosts with copies of the guest list.

Of all the systems UrVenue tried at large venues, the iPhone and Android interface with the touch screen scrolling were the most promising, the biggest drawback was the size of the screen.

UrVenue has the software to digitally check-in customers, and now the proper hardware for hosts to handle the check-in has just arrived. Apple's release of the iPad offers UrVenue clients to use touch screen scrolling to check in guests on a larger more manageable tablet.
