Know everyone
who comes through your door.
Kite runs reception end to end. Guests are invited by email and arrive with a pass already in hand. A quick check at the door confirms they are who they say they are. Members and staff carry their credential in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, and every arrival lands on the record, automatically.
Kite is in private beta. We're onboarding clubs, pools, and offices one at a time.

Why Kite
The front desk was never built for this.
A clipboard by the door. A sign-in sheet no one checks. A name you take on faith and access you cannot really scope. Most front doors run on trust and good intentions, and no real record of who was inside when it mattered. Kite is the system of record for everyone who comes through yours.
A guest book nobody reads back.
A living record
See who's expected, who has arrived, and who is still on the property right now, not after the fact.
A name taken on faith.
Identity you can trust
Confirm a guest is who they say they are against a real document before the pass ever goes live.
Access that is all or nothing.
Exactly the right access
Every guest and member gets the areas and hours they are entitled to, and it expires on its own.
How a guest visit works in Kite
From invitation to in the room.
- 01
Invite
A host adds a guest with name, email, dates, and a policy. Recurring guests reuse their record.
- 02
Pass
The guest receives a polished wallet pass by email. It updates itself when the visit changes.
- 03
Verify
At check-in, when you require it, a photo ID and a quick selfie confirm the guest is who the invitation says.
- 04
Welcome
The door opens by QR, pass, or face, the host is pinged, and the visit records itself: searchable and exportable.
Identity verification
Who they say they are, confirmed at the door.
When it matters, Kite confirms a guest's identity before their pass goes live, so the person at your door is exactly who the invitation says, and reception knows it in seconds.
A real ID
Guests confirm who they are with a driver license or passport, not a name in a book.
A matching face
A quick selfie confirms the guest arriving is the person on the ID.
Only when it matters
Most guests simply walk in. Switch a check on for the visits where it counts.
Reception stays in control
Clear passes go live on their own. Anything uncertain waits for a person to review.
Verification is something you switch on. A guest's ID is used to confirm who they are, then discarded on the spot. Kite never keeps a copy.

Notifications
Your organization knows the moment they arrive.
When a guest checks in, Kite pings the host in Slack so they can step out and meet them at the door. When a package is dropped, the recipient hears about it right away. No reception runaround, no parcels piling up in the lobby.
- Hosts get a direct message the instant their guest arrives.
- Front desk and security can subscribe a shared channel to every arrival.
- Recipients are notified the instant a delivery lands under their name.

Who Kite is for
Built for the places people gather.
Country clubs to community pools, corporate offices to athletic programs. The faces and the doors change. The hospitality doesn't.
Country Clubs
From the gate to the 18th green, without breaking stride.
- Tournament guests, charity events, and member-plus-ones, issued in batches and recognized at every gate.
- Junior, social, and full memberships each get exactly the access their dues paid for.
- Reciprocal-club guests arrive with a pass in hand. Front-of-house already knows their name.
Pool Deck · Dining Room · Bar · Pro Shop · Driving Range
Pools & Aquatic Centers
Wet hands. Open arms.
- Household passes keep parents, kids, and caregivers on one membership, each one recognized.
- Guest quotas enforce themselves. Two guests per member, twice a month: the rule writes itself.
- Lifeguards see who is on shift, who is certified, and who is on deck right now.
Pool Deck · Wading Pool · Snack Bar · Locker Rooms
Offices & Workspaces
Visitors who feel expected. Deliveries that never go missing.
- Pre-registered guests arrive with a wallet pass already in hand. Reception becomes a greeting, not a checkpoint.
- Couriers scan a code at the dock. The package is logged and the recipient pinged, no clipboard at the desk.
- Contractor windows that close themselves when the work is done.

Athletic Organizations & Clubs
The right people on the field at the right time.
- Players, coaches, trainers, and family, each on their own roster with their own window.
- Practice windows open the locker room and close it again. No one waits, no one lingers.
- Recruits and scouts arrive as visitors with day passes scoped to just the areas they should see.

Credentialing, included
A badge in every member's wallet.
Kite handles reception and visitors first, but it credentials the whole roster too. Members, employees, and staff carry their badge in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, organized into groups with the access their role calls for and nothing more.
Member groups
Import your roster. Organize people into groups. Access follows the group, not an email thread.
Areas and schedules
Define every space and the schedule that governs it. Locker rooms unlock at 6 AM, not before.
Operator roles
Front-desk staff, managers, and admins each see only what their role permits.
Searchable history
Every entry, every change, every grant: timestamped, searchable, exportable.
Three ways through the door
The pass that fits the moment.
Most members and guests arrive with a wallet pass or a QR code. Organizations can also enable optional face authentication for the fastest, best hands-free entry experience.
Wallet pass
Apple Wallet or Google Wallet pass that updates itself when a visit changes. Works for guests and members alike.
QR code
A fast fallback for guests and members who want a scannable code instead of a wallet pass.
Face authentication (opt-in)
The fastest, best hands-free entry experience for organizations that want it. Enrollment is voluntary and reversible at any time.
Deliveries, too
Every package, accounted for.
The same desk that welcomes your guests handles the loading dock. Put a delivery code at the dock, the vestibule, or the reception window. A courier scans it, snaps the shipping label, and the package is logged and the recipient notified before they're back in the truck. Repeat drivers get their details filled in automatically.
Scan the label
The courier points a phone at the shipping label. Kite reads the carrier, recipient, and tracking number and fills the form in for them.
Recipient notified
The moment a package is logged, the person it's for hears about it. No parcels piling up unclaimed at the front desk.
A searchable log
Every delivery lands in one place: carrier, recipient, tracking, driver, and time. Filter it, sort it, export it.
Never a credential
A delivery records a drop-off. It never opens a door or issues a pass, so the loading dock stays a loading dock.

Privacy
Verification you control. Consent first.
Identity checks and face authentication are powerful, so Kite treats them carefully. You decide when a check is required, and anyone who uses face authentication enrolls themselves, on purpose, and can opt out at any time. A guest's ID is used to confirm their identity and then discarded, never stored. Kite does not identify strangers, build surveillance profiles, or share data with anyone outside your organization.
Consent first
You choose when an identity check is required, and face authentication is enrolled by the person themselves. Opt-out is immediate.
IDs are never stored
A guest's ID is used to confirm their identity, then discarded on the spot. Kite never keeps a copy.
Your data, yours
Kite never uses your data for training or advertising, and never shares it with anyone outside your organization.
Scoped operators
Front desk, managers, and admins see only what their role permits.
