Attendance & check-in

Let the class check itself in

Mark a whole row of students in from the front desk, or put a tablet by the door and let them tap their own photo. Either way it lands in one attendance log you can actually ask questions of.

Two ways in

However your front desk actually works

From the desk

Pull up the class that is running and mark the roster in. Good for small classes, and for the nights when someone is standing there anyway.

From a tablet

Kiosk mode puts your class list on a screen by the door. Students tap their own photo — no PIN to forget, nothing for a seven-year-old to type.

The point is not the roll, it is the question afterwards

Attendance only earns its keep when you can ask it something. The log filters by date, class, style, rank and member type, so "who has not trained in a month" is a filter rather than an afternoon with a spreadsheet.

That question is the one that matters commercially. A student who stops coming stops paying about six weeks later, and the gap between those two events is the only window you have to call them.

What attendance feeds

Common questions

Do students need a PIN or a card to check in?

No. Kiosk check-in works by tapping your own photo on the screen, which is deliberate — a PIN is one more thing for a child to forget at the door.

Can I see who has stopped coming?

Yes. Filter the attendance log by date range and you have the list of students who have not trained recently. It is the report most worth running weekly.

Does attendance affect belt eligibility?

It can. Class counts feed the time-in-rank and attendance requirements you set per rank, so belt-test eligibility reflects who has actually been on the mat.
