Visitor check-in for salons

A tablet in your waiting room that signs visitors in, and tells the person they came to see.

The room this is for

Appointments, walk-ins and people collecting products, while every pair of hands in the room is already busy.

What a visitor does

They touch the screen, answer a few short questions one at a time, and get a badge number. No app to install, no account, no password. The confirmation shows no name, because a waiting room can read over somebody's shoulder.

The questions are yours

You write them, and you can reword, reorder or retire any of them. A salons might ask:

• Who are you here to see?
• Do you have an appointment?
• Are you collecting an order?

Each question takes the kind of answer you choose — free text, an email address, a phone number, or a list to pick from.

Who is told

Each member of staff picks how they hear that somebody has arrived: email, a text message, or a Teams channel. The message names nobody. It says a visitor has arrived and links into the app, because a notification is read on a lock screen.

If somebody does not know whose name to look for, they can tap “I’m not sure — I need help” and your front desk is told, instead of them guessing.

What is kept

You choose: keep what a visitor typed, clear it after a set number of days, or clear it as soon as the visit is over. The photo, the ID check and the spoken questions are each off until you turn them on.
