For staff and event operators, hackOS provides operational tools to:

• Scan QR codes for attendee accreditation and check-in.
• Assign and replace badges.
• Track attendee presence through door in/out scanning.
• Scan meals and registrable activities, including detection of first servings and repeat scans.
• Manage judging queues and call teams for presentations.
