Linkstub helps event teams run the door. Staff can sign in, see assigned events, scan ticket QR codes, check guests in or out, and review attendee status from the same mobile workflow. Offline queueing keeps scans moving when venue connectivity is unreliable, then syncs updates when the device is back online. A Linkstub organizer or staff account is required.
