Visitor text alerts
A visitor scans a QR code at a business, types their name, and taps once to join the line. If they want a text when it is their turn, they tick a box and add their number. It is optional, it is off unless they tick it, and checking in works exactly the same without it.
What the visitor sees
Unticked by default. The phone field below only appears once it is ticked.

The exact wording
A business that also asks for a Google review after the visit shows the second version, so nobody is asked for a review they were not told about. The version a visitor saw is recorded against their check-in.
Place in line only

Who sends them, and what we keep
AcornCheckIn (a product of PerfSpot LLC) is the sender. A visitor's phone number is used only to send the messages above and is deleted within 24 hours of their check-in. We never sell or share it. See our privacy policy and terms.
Businesses opting their own staff in to alerts is a separate program: staff text alerts.
