Why Cinema/Theater Ushers & Front of House Management Choose SnapCount

Purpose-built features for cinema/theater ushers professionals

No More Clicker Jam

Mechanical clickers fail in the cold, stick when rushed, or are dropped in the dark. SnapCount is software-based, offering reliable, haptic feedback counting on standard mobile devices.

Instant House Status Visibility

Supervisors get real-time visibility into the current General Admission count and the remaining capacity without asking ushers to stop scanning or counting. Perfect for managing latecomers and capacity limits.

Seamless Shift Handoff

The count lives on the cloud dashboard, not on a physical device. Ushers can clock out knowing the incoming shift has the exact, verifiable load-in tally instantly, eliminating reconciliation stress.

The Problem & The Solution

The Stress of Manual Reconciliation and Dark Counting

It's 15 minutes to curtain, and the House Count is split between three ushers working different doors. The mechanical clicker jams just as you start scanning a ticket, forcing you to estimate or backtrack. You need to know the exact remaining capacity immediately, but instead, you're trying to whisper a number across a crowded lobby to your supervisor, hoping they heard the latest tally correctly.

The real nightmare is the shift change or intermission. You have to physically meet up, squint at tiny LCD screens under the glare of your flashlight, and manually reconcile three different totals on a clipboard. If there's a discrepancy, scaling the house becomes a stressful guessing game that delays load-in for the next show and potentially violates fire code capacity.

⚠️Stop relying on clickers and flashlights and manual counting methods.

SnapCount: Instant Sync for Seamless Capacity Management

SnapCount turns every usher's phone or tablet into a unified, real-time tally dashboard. As soon as a ticket is clicked at Door A, the House Count updates instantly for the supervisor at the Box Office and the usher at Door B. This eliminates the need for manual reconciliation entirely, ensuring your reported capacity is always 100% accurate, even during peak flow.

Manage 'Seat Kills' and track VIPs with separate counters that update in parallel. Since the platform is digital, you never lose a count due to a mechanical failure or a misplaced clipboard. Focus entirely on customer flow and safety, knowing that your management team has immediate visibility into the current load-in status without ever needing to interrupt your work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using SnapCount for cinema/theater ushers

Can we track separate counters for different doors or levels?

Yes, SnapCount allows you to create multiple, simultaneous tallies (e.g., Balcony GA, Orchestra VIP) that feed into a single master House Count dashboard. This is essential for managing complex seating maps.

Does this work in low-light environments?

Absolutely. The application interface is designed with high-contrast modes for easy visibility under standard theater house lights or during dark load-ins, ensuring accurate counting without glare.

What if the venue Wi-Fi drops mid-count?

SnapCount is designed to cache counts locally. If connectivity is briefly lost, the tallies are stored securely and instantly sync back to the cloud dashboard the moment the connection is restored, preventing data loss during critical moments.

How does SnapCount help with 'Scaling the House'?

By providing a perfectly accurate, real-time total, SnapCount removes the guesswork from scaling the house. Management can see the exact remaining capacity instantly, speeding up decisions on rush line tickets or holding back doors.
