Hand out wristbands, meal tickets, and bands

From the event's manage hub, follow Handouts at check-in → Manage handouts, then Add Handout — or open the Handouts section on the event's edit form, where + Add handout, Edit, and Delete work in place alongside the rest of the event. Give it a name, an emoji if you like, and a description — that sentence is what a volunteer reads out when someone asks "what's this for?", so write it for the table, not the spreadsheet. Leave Where is it handed out? on At the check-in table for anything given at the door.

Each rule is one line of how many, for whom: 1 per attendee (times the party size), 1 per registration (once per party), 2 per Adult ticket, or 1 when a question was answered a certain way — a vegetarian plate for the vegetarian choice, a ribbon for the photo-consent tick. Rules add up, so a wristband per attendee plus one more per adult ticket gives a party of two adults four. + Add a rule adds a line.

On the Handouts page (or the edit form's Handouts section), add a station under Stations — Food Table, Drink Tent — and pick the volunteer role that runs it. Then set the meal and drink handouts' Where is it handed out? to that station. Each station gets its own link with Copy and Open beside it: it needs no login and works offline, so hand it to the team running that table and nobody else. Regenerate link invalidates the old one.

On the check-in page, checking someone in now reveals a Hand out panel: each item this party is owed, its description, and a Give button that ticks it off. Items that live at a station show as a reminder — 2 × BBQ plate, redeem at Food Table — so the door can point people the right way. Gives queue offline and sync when the signal is back.

The station page scans the attendee's registration QR, or takes the code typed in, and shows only that station's items with given and due. Give 1 or Give remaining records it; once everything is given the row says so and the page refuses more. Someone who skipped the door shows a Not checked in yet badge, not a wall.

Back on the manage hub, the Handouts at check-in card shows every item's given and due side by side with a bar, and the registrations table gains a Handouts column per party. The Handouts page lists the same totals per item, and each attendee's registration page shows exactly what they've collected.

Two optional ways to skip paper tickets, both set on the Handouts page. Tick Attendees can use this from their own ticket on a meal or drink item, and the attendee taps Use 1 on their ticket — web or app — while they're in line, then holds up a two-minute proof screen at the table: a live clock, their name, and how many they've used. Nobody taps. Or set a station's Bucket mode to one of its items and the station page scans continuously: prop a phone at the counter, every QR presented gives that many with a green flash, and nobody taps there either.
