Come take a look around

Here's how welcome your
clients will feel.

No front desk to staff. No clipboards. No one waiting on hold. Just an iPad — or a QR code on the wall — and a gentle ping the moment your client arrives.

Two ways in. One simple setup.

Some offices like a fixed iPad on the desk. Others prefer a printed QR code clients scan with their own phone. FrontDesk gives you both — and behind either one you'll find the same notifications, the same admin controls, and the same branding. You set it up once.

iPad Kiosk

A branded, self-service check-in screen that runs all day on any iPad you already own. Clients tap. Providers get notified. Reset happens automatically.

  • Free kiosk app on iOS & Android
  • Always-on, idle-dimming for battery
  • Best for high-traffic lobbies

QR Check-In

New

No iPad? No problem. Print a unique code per location, post it at the front desk, and clients check in from their own phone.

  • Included in every subscription
  • No client app install required
  • Best for unstaffed lobbies

    Step 2 — Selection

    One tap to find the right person.

    A clean grid of every provider working at that location. Clients tap the name they came to see. If you renamed "providers" to "therapists" or "stylists" — it shows up that way here.

    • Provider photos and names
    • Vocabulary follows your terminology
    • Auto-hides providers not at this location

    Step 3 — Confirmation

    A final tap. No paperwork.

    Clients confirm their selection and the kiosk fires off the notification. No forms, no signatures, no email collection. The fewer steps, the more reliably it gets used.

    • One-tap confirm
    • Optional back-button to re-pick
    • Reset to welcome screen automatically

    Step 4 — Closure

    A calm “you’re all set.”

    The kiosk acknowledges them, then resets for the next client. The whole interaction is under ten seconds — and your provider already knows they’ve arrived.

    • Auto-dismisses after a few seconds
    • Ready for the next arrival instantly
    • Idle-dim mode saves your iPad battery

QR Check-In

When there’s no iPad — and no one at the desk.

  1. 1

    Setup — once

    Post a QR code at your front door.

    Generate a unique QR for every location from your admin portal. Print a free-standing sign, frame it next to the door, tape it to your reception desk — whatever fits your space. One sign, no hardware.

    • One QR per location
    • High-resolution PNG download
    • Rotate the code anytime if it leaks

  2. 2

    Step 1 — Arrival

    Clients scan with their own phone.

    No app to download. No login. Their phone camera recognizes the QR and opens your branded check-in page — same look as the iPad kiosk, just in their hand.

    • Works on iPhone & Android
    • Same branding as your iPad kiosk

    Step 2 — Selection

    Same flow. On their phone.

    The list of providers at this location, ready to tap. We use a short-lived session token so the QR never leaks data and can’t be replayed once they’re done.

    • Session-scoped — auto-expires
    • Secure server-side token rotation
    • Identical UX to the kiosk

    Step 3 — Notification

    Tap confirm. Their provider is notified.

    Same notification, same speed. Whether the client checked in on your iPad or their phone, the provider sees one alert — your team doesn’t care which path got used.

    • Identical staff experience
    • Unified arrival feed
    • Works without staff at the desk
    frontdeskkiosk.com
  5. 5

    Step 4 — All set

    And that’s it. They’re checked in.

    The client sees a calm thank-you screen. Your provider gets the notification. Everyone knows where they stand — without anyone needing to be at the desk to make it happen.

    • Auto-clears after a few seconds
    • Session expires automatically
    • No follow-up steps required
    frontdeskkiosk.com

Meanwhile, on the provider's phone

The notification arrives in under a second.

It doesn’t matter whether the client checked in on your iPad or scanned the QR code with their phone — your provider sees the same alert, on the same staff app, in real time.

  • Push notification on iOS & Android
  • Customizable notification copy — keep it warm, on-brand
  • Unified arrival feed — see every check-in across every location

The fine print, plainly

The things you’re wondering, answered.

Do I need to buy new hardware?

No. FrontDesk runs on any iPad or Android tablet you already own. The kiosk app is a free download from the App Store or Google Play. The QR check-in needs nothing but a printed code at your desk.

What if my staff isn’t at the desk?

That’s exactly the moment FrontDesk was built for. Clients check themselves in. Your provider gets notified on their phone. No one has to be at the desk for the front door to work.

Is the QR code secure?

Yes. Each QR maps to a short-lived session token signed server-side. Codes can be rotated instantly from your dashboard if a printout ever leaves your space. The check-in payload never contains client PHI.

What if I have multiple locations?

Every location gets its own kiosk and its own QR code. Providers can be assigned to one or many locations. Billing is per-provider, not per-location — so adding a clinic is cheap.

Can I match the kiosk to my brand?

Yes — for free. The Branding Studio lets any admin redesign the entire arrival screen in seconds: custom gradients, button colors, your logo. Preview live before pushing to your iPad.

How do providers get notified?

Push notification to the FrontDesk staff app on iOS or Android. It arrives within a second of the client confirming. Providers can acknowledge from the notification or open the app for the full arrival feed.
