Built for small organizations

A visitor sign in app without a complicated event platform

Many visitor management tools are built for offices with badges, compliance workflows, and reception desks. MemberMaker is for the places that still use a paper guestbook because they need something practical: a club meeting, church welcome table, nonprofit gathering, workshop, bingo night, open house, or class.

Put the device where your paper sign-in sheet used to be. Guests enter their contact details on a clean, step-by-step screen, and each visit is saved so you can see who came and follow up afterward.

Church visitor sign in kiosk

Welcome first-time guests and families. With Group check-in enabled, a parent checks in first, then selects saved children or adds them by name for the same gathering.

Club meeting sign in app

Track attendance for clubs, associations, senior groups, hobby meetups, and recurring local gatherings.

Nonprofit event guestbook

Collect usable contact details at fundraisers, volunteer orientations, workshops, and open houses.

Follow up matters

Turn a sign-in sheet into a contact list

Paper sign-in sheets often leave you with missing emails, unreadable phone numbers, and a manual data entry chore. MemberMaker keeps the list digital from the start, so your team can follow up with guests after the meeting or event.

  • Choose phone or email identification, optional profile fields, and custom questions
  • Record repeat visits over time
  • Export contacts to CSV for your email list or spreadsheet
  • Use one phone or tablet instead of buying kiosk hardware

Who MemberMaker is best for

MemberMaker fits small teams that need a simple guest check-in app, not a large visitor management system. It is especially useful when volunteers run the door and guests may not be tech-savvy.

  • Churches and ministries
  • Membership clubs and community groups
  • Nonprofits and volunteer organizations
  • Classes, workshops, and local events
  • Open houses and information nights

What it replaces

Use MemberMaker when your current process is a clipboard, printed roster, paper guestbook, Google Form on someone’s phone, or a spreadsheet you update after the event.

  • Paper visitor sign-in sheets
  • Handwritten guestbooks
  • Manual spreadsheet entry
  • One-off forms that do not track repeat visits
  • Expensive check-in systems built for larger organizations

Paper versus digital

What changes when the sign-in sheet becomes an app

Frequently asked questions

Can I use MemberMaker as an iPad kiosk?

Yes. Download the app, sign in, choose your organization, and use fullscreen mode to keep the device focused on guest check-in.

Is this only for events?

No. It works for recurring meetings, weekly services, classes, open houses, workshops, and one-time events.

Does it replace a paper sign-in sheet?

That is the goal. Guests enter their own contact details, and your team gets a digital visitor list instead of a handwritten sheet.

Do I need special kiosk hardware?

No. You can run MemberMaker on an iPhone or iPad you already have.

Optional visitor checkout

Know when a visit ends—not only when it starts
