Check in a member

When a member walks in, check them in at the desk by phone or member number. Kila lets in a member with an active membership or package, and turns away and records anyone without one.

    It is on the diary, at the till or under Front desk › Front desk.

  2. Choose Phone number or Member number

    The member number is the client number on their card, such as C-00132.

  3. Type it

    Type the number from the card, or the phone number the member gives.

  4. Tap Check in

    Press Enter or tap Check in.
