How to check in a member at the front desk.
A front desk check-in is a door entry made by your staff. It uses the same rules as your readers, so the visit counts in the day's check-ins, the door log and any check-in points.
- Who it is for
- Owners, managers and front desk staff
- Plan
- Every plan (Basic, Advance and Team)
Check a member in
- Open the Dashboard and find the Front desk card.
- Type the member's name, phone or member ID, or scan their app pass with a USB scanner. The search box reads Name, phone, member ID or scan a pass.
- Read the member's plan line and any warning, such as Plan ended, Membership on hold or Consent needed.
- Tap Check in. You see the member's name with checked in.
- If the same member was checked in within the last two hours, Timeo asks first. Tap Check in again only if they really came back.
Other ways to check in
- From a member's profile, tap Check in in the quick actions.
- When a plan has ended, the card offers Renew with the plan name, or Sell plan, so you can sell before checking in.
When check-in is refused
The desk follows the door rules. A member with no active plan, a class pass with no class booked today, a plan on hold, a plan not started yet, or a blocked or archived member cannot be checked in. The message names the reason, for example cannot check in: no active plan.
What your customers see
- The visit appears in the member's Check-ins and door activity in the app.
- If you give check-in points for door entry, the member gets the day's points.
Common problems
- I do not see the Front desk card.
- It shows for gyms and for businesses running timed visits, to owners, admins, managers and front desk staff. Coaches and accountants cannot check members in.
- Scanning a pass says it does not belong to a member here.
- The code is from another business or is an event pass. Event passes are shared day passes and cannot be checked in at the desk.
