We are looking for ways to boost our check in numbers for our two youth groups. We have both a Jr. High and a Sr. High group which meet on different nights. There seems to be a gap between the actual head count number and what the system check in reflects. The gap is biggest in the high school age group.
Currently we are not using bar codes or self check in, but do use assisted check in. We have even moved the check in area to be directly ahead of the entrance doors. We've tried to build in incentives for those who have checked in as well.
We are open to any creative ways that other churches have found to be successful.
