check-in system

Guest sign-in apparatus

A check-in system is an arrangement for registering arrivals—at hotels, airports, medical offices, or events.

Traditional check-in systems involve staff at a desk; modern ones are often self-service kiosks or apps: The airline's check-in system let me get my boarding pass on my phone.

The term extends to any process for logging attendance or status: Our team uses a daily check-in system to track progress.
