What pre-registration actually does
Every corporate lobby has the same morning rhythm. A line forms by 8:45. Receptionists work the queue, asking each visitor who they’re here to see. The host gets called, sometimes twice. The badge prints. The visitor sits down to wait. By 9:15 the lobby is recovered. By 9:30 it happens again with the lunch arrivals. Pre-registration ends the cycle — and most buildings still haven’t deployed it correctly.
