Foupzi Door Scanner is the staff-side companion app for any event running on the Foupzi Odoo platform. Pair the device once with a QR code from your event admin, then check guests in at the door in under a second per ticket. KEY FEATURES โ€ข Lightning-fast QR scanning โ€” point the camera at a ticket, the camera reads it before your finger reaches the button. Works on torn, glossy, or screen-displayed tickets. โ€ข Works offline at the door โ€” recent attendees and tickets are cached on-device, so a momentary wifi blip never blocks the line. โ€ข Group check-in โ€” if a family of four buys together, scan one ticket and the app offers to admit the whole group with a single tap. โ€ข Permission-gated UI โ€” every device has its own role: scan-only for student volunteers, full access for event managers. Permissions are set from your Odoo backend and pushed to the app live. โ€ข VIP and guest lists โ€” show the VIP table or filtered guest categories on a dedicated tab, separate from the regular attendee list. โ€ข Search & manual check-in โ€” for the rare ticket that won't scan, search by name, email, phone, or ticket number and tap to admit. โ€ข Per-event checklist โ€” give each device its own pre-event task list (battery check, count cash drawer, brief team) right in the app. โ€ข Volunteer-friendly onboarding โ€” Welcome โ†’ Connect to Odoo โ†’ Name the device โ†’ Done. New staff are productive in 30 seconds. โ€ข Light and dark themes, large readable type, designed for dim venue lighting. โ€ข Apple Wallet and Google Wallet support on the customer side โ€” passes update live when you check someone in or change their seat. HOW IT WORKS 1. Your Odoo admin opens Door Scanner โ†’ Devices โ†’ New Device and shows the pairing QR on their screen. 2. You install Foupzi Door Scanner, tap Connect to Odoo, and scan the QR. 3. You're paired โ€” the device shows the events it's assigned to, with the permissions the admin chose. YOU NEED โ€ข A Foupzi or Odoo backend with the foupzi_door_scanner module installed. โ€ข A pairing QR code from your event organizer. If you don't have an Odoo backend yet, visit https://foupzi.com to see how Foupzi powers events, venues, and ticketing for organizations across Canada. PRIVACY The app collects zero personal data from staff. It uses the camera only to read QR codes (frames are never stored or transmitted). It stores only the server URL and a device authentication token. Full policy: https://foupzi.com/privacy. Made in Quebec, Canada by Foupzi inc. โ€” bonjour@foupzi.com
