How fielddrive Improved Event Check-Ins and Badging for Burger King UK

‍

The Challenge

Before partnering with fielddrive, Burger King UK faced several issues with their manual badging system:

1. Slow Badge Distribution: Before teaming up with fielddrive, Burger King UK used to print out their badges in advance and sort them alphabetically at the venue, causing delays as staff manually located and distributed the badges to the attendees.
2. Check-in Point Congestion: Attendees used to arrive at events in waves, which further stressed the check-in and badge distribution process, causing long lines and bottlenecks at the entry points.
3. Manual Attendance Tracking: Burger King UK also struggled with manually tracking event attendance, which was time-consuming and prone to errors.

The Goals

Burger King UK aimed to:

1. Speed Up Badge Distribution: Reduce the time taken to distribute badges and avoid manual errors.
2. Enhance Attendee Experience: Cut down wait times and make the check-in process smoother.
3. Automate Attendance Tracking: Use a system to automatically track check-ins for accurate reporting.

The Solution

fielddrive introduced a kiosk-based check-in and registration system that allowed attendees to check into the event easily. Here’s how fielddrive's technology addressed Burger King UK's challenges:
