Communication
The announcement goes out from the event
The announcement, the 24-hour reminder and the news item all go out from the event.
Events and calendar
Church event registration, tickets and QR check-in
From the Sunday service to the youth retreat, the calendar, registration and entry are in one place. Guests get their ticket and show the code at the door.
Registration, tickets and the door
From invitation to entry, in one place
Three moments of the same event: signing up, the ticket and check-in at the door.
Open registration, waiting list and ticket batches
People who sign up can be members or guests. When places run out, the waiting list holds the next in line. The list of registrations exports to CSV.
Batches, coupons and complimentary tickets
For paid events, you create ticket batches, coupons and complimentary tickets. Paid registrations can be refunded, and Brado takes no commission.
QR check-in, with the phone camera
At the entrance, the team scans the ticket’s QR code and attendance is recorded. If the network drops, check-ins are queued and sent when the connection returns.

Calendar and services
The service, prepared week by week
The calendar brings together services, meetings and events, and members see it in the app. For the service, you use templates and prepare the order of service, so the team knows what comes next. Venues, rooms and resources are booked in the same place.
- Service templates and an order of service for each event.
- Rooms, resources and bookings, so two events don’t end up in the same room.
- Add events to your phone’s calendar, from a file or by subscription.
- A public calendar you can embed on the church website or another site.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I sell tickets for the retreat?
Yes, with batches, coupons and complimentary tickets, and also with paid extras, deposits and balances, group discounts and multi-day events. Brado takes no commission on tickets: the church pays only the payment processor’s fees, and the money goes to the church’s account. Free events have registration, a waiting list and check-in.
How does the waiting list work?
When places run out, interested people join a waiting list. The waiting list sits on the dashboard next to the list of registrations, and you can export both to CSV. For example, on a retreat with 120 places, registration number 121 joins the waiting list.
Does check-in need special equipment?
No. All you need is the phone of the person at the door, with the camera scanning the QR code on the ticket or the member card. If the network drops, check-ins are queued and sent when the connection returns.
Can I refund a paid registration?
Yes, for paid registrations. Refunds apply only to events with payment. Free events have nothing to refund, only a registration to cancel. You refund from the registration itself, inside the event, on the dashboard.
Can members see events in the app?
Yes. The app’s agenda shows the church’s events, and anyone who registers gets a ticket with a QR code. An event can also have a public page, open to people who are not yet members.
Can I put events in my phone’s calendar?
Yes. You subscribe to the church calendar or export events and rotas as a file, and add them to the calendar you already use, on your phone or computer. The app’s agenda always shows the current version of the event, with the ticket and QR code for anyone who has registered.
