With all things it's about balance and striking the right balance between a number of different factors. At Office Nomads we do have members sign in, using an iPad at the front that's hooked in to Nadine, our management system. We tie this with membership packages that don't do hourly, only daily which means you don't need to sign out.
This creates an important touch point when members arrive. It funnels people to the front and slows them down just enough that we can catch them if there is something we need to talk about. In general, I'm not a fan of automating everything as it removes opportunities to talk with members. But of course it's about balance. I've seen it work, only because other touch points were introduced and emphasized such as around the coffee/printing areas, or with better team mingling practices. 312 Main, up here in Vancouver, is going to be much larger (understatement), with multiple points of entry/exit. Scale shifts the balance so we have a lot of work to do to make adjustments to what we've learned over the years.
