NailPocket's walk-in sign-in kiosk on a tablet asking the client to touch to sign in

A sign-in kiosk by the door

Set up any tablet as your kiosk. Walk-ins enter their phone number, their name and how many people are coming, then pick their services. Clients with an appointment check in with their phone number and can change their services before they sit down.

  • Works on any iPad or Android tablet
  • Appointments are found by phone number, no paper list
  • Groups sign in together
  • "Please have a seat. We will call when we're ready."

A turn list that runs itself

When you check in a walk-in with a technician, the booking goes on that tech's column and they move to the back of the turn list. Techs who haven't had a turn yet come first, so everyone gets a fair share of walk-ins.

  • Next tech up at the top of the list
  • Taking a client moves that tech to the end
  • Owners and managers can drag the order
  • Online requests waiting for approval in the same panel

Questions

Walk-ins & turn list: common questions

What do I need for the sign-in kiosk?

Any iPad or Android tablet with a web browser. Sign in to NailPocket on it and open Customer Sign In from the menu. Nothing to install.

How does the turn list decide who's next?

Technicians who haven't had a turn today come first, then the one whose last turn was longest ago. When a tech takes a walk-in they move to the end. Owners and managers can drag the order by hand.

Can clients with an appointment use the kiosk too?

Yes. They tap that they have an appointment and enter their phone number. NailPocket finds their booking around this time and lets them check their services.

Can a group of friends sign in together?

Yes. The kiosk asks how many people are coming and what services each person wants, and they're checked in as a group.
