For the big day itself

Your plan doesn't stop at the printer. On the day, it runs the door, the kitchen and the guests' phones.

Day-of check-in
Find any guest in a second and check them in from your phone. Share a link with a helper, and it stops working after the event.
QR seat finder
Guests scan a sign at the door, type their name and see their table on a map of the room.
Meals & caterer sheet
Each guest’s meal and allergies, and one sheet for the kitchen with allergies at the top.
