Setting up your business, passes, check-in and daily operations.

Joining a provider, tracking your passes and check-ins.

Password, two-factor authentication and privacy settings.
OpenFees & credits
Base fee, modules, trial period and credit balance.
OpenGetting started as a business
Your digital front desk is up and running in six steps.
Create an account or sign in
Register in 1desq, or sign in with your existing 1booq account — they are one and the same. Confirm your email address via the link we send you.
Create your business
Enter its name, pick the business type and switch on the modules you need. The base package is always included; you can change modules anytime later on the Organization page.
Build your catalog
Add your passes (for example 10-visit or unlimited monthly), and put over-the-counter items under Products. Instead of "pass", your business can pick its own word: ticket, entry pass, membership, treatment or service.
Invite your team
Send an invite to an email address or a 1booq ID, or invite your 1booq-side workers with one click. Their role decides what they can see and manage.
Add your customers
Record them manually on a customer card, or share your join code or QR code and they connect themselves. A customer card works without an account and can be linked to one later.
Start the daily work
Admit arrivals on the Check-in screen, see who is inside on Currently in, settle tabs and payments in the Cash register, and let Reports sum up your revenue.
1desq as a customer
How to keep track of your passes and check-ins at your providers.
Connect to your provider
Accept the invitation you received by email, or enter the join code you got from your provider on the Join a provider screen. You can also scan a QR code.
Open My providers
Per provider, you see your passes, remaining visits, check-ins and any forms waiting to be filled in.
Check in on site
At the reception or the self-service kiosk you check in with your entry card or QR code — your pass visits are deducted automatically.
Keep your details in order
On My billing details you can set the name your invoices are issued to; Profile and Settings work just like in 1booq.
Keep your account safe
Password & recovery
Use a strong password with at least 8 characters. If you lose it, the "Forgot password" flow lets you set a new one via email. Your 1desq and 1booq accounts are the same, so they share one password.
Two-factor authentication (2FA)
Enable it on the Profile screen. It uses a TOTP authenticator app (e.g. Google Authenticator). Make sure to save your backup codes somewhere safe!
Privacy settings
You can request an export of your data or the deletion of your account anytime at privacy@1booq.com; the same address handles your GDPR rights. We typically respond within 30 days.
Billing and balance
Base fee and modules
The base fee is 100 credits per month and includes customer management, passes, sales, sessions, staff scheduling, the cash register and invoicing. The Check-in, Key management and Forms modules cost an additional 100 credits per month each. 1 credit = €0.10.
Trial period
You can try your first business free for at least a month, no bank card needed. The trial is available once per person; after it ends, the monthly fee is deducted in credits.
Credit balance and settling
You buy credits on the Credits page; the balance is shared with your 1booq account. If there aren't enough credits for the monthly fee, you get a grace period of a few days and can settle the balance from the banner at the top of your desk — your data is kept safe throughout.
The base fee and the add-on modules
The base fee covers the whole daily operation; three add-on modules can be enabled on top, each switchable anytime by the business owner on the Organization page.
What the base fee includes
Customer records, passes, sales, sessions, staff scheduling, cash register, invoicing, team and reports — at no extra charge.
Check-in & kiosk
Card, QR-code or entry-code check-in at the reception, and self-service check-in at the kiosk. The Currently in screen always shows who is inside.
Key management
Handing out and taking back locker and safe keys, tied to the customer — you always see who has what.
Forms
Declarations, data sheets and questionnaires filled in from templates, with permission control: you decide who can see the submissions.
1desq terms
The most common terms as you meet them on the screens.
Business
A company or organization managed in 1desq. You can run several from one account and switch between them in the header.
Pass
An entitlement sold to a customer — for example 10 visits or unlimited monthly. Your business can pick its own word for it: ticket, entry pass, membership, treatment or service.
Product
An over-the-counter item you sell at the desk — a drink or a towel, say. Not to be confused with a pass: a product doesn't grant entry.
Session
A scheduled class or event — a workout or a course, for example — that customers attend with a pass.
Customer card
The customer's record at your business. It can exist without an account and can later be linked to the customer's 1booq account.
Entry card
The customer's identifier at check-in: a QR code or a physical card scanned at the reception or the kiosk.
Credit
The platform's billing unit: 1 credit = €0.10. Monthly fees are deducted from it, and the balance is shared with the 1booq side.
Team member
A user invited into your business. Their role controls which screens they see and which actions they can take.
