Post the QR code at the desk
Print the QR from your dashboard and post it where clients arrive. Camera scan opens the check-in page instantly — the classic walk-in flow without a tablet.
Great at: lobbies, waiting rooms, treatment-room doors.
QR Code & Link Check-In
Check-in by QR code or link — no iPad required.
Skip the cost of a tablet and stand. Every FrontDesk location ships with a printable QR code and a copyable check-in link — post the code at the front desk, drop the link into your appointment confirmation emails, or both. Either way, your providers get the same instant notification as the iPad kiosk.
Included in every FrontDesk subscription. No extra fees.
How It Works
From scan to notification in seconds
- 1
Print & post
Generate a unique QR code for each of your locations from the admin dashboard and post it at the front desk.
- 2
Client scans
A client scans with their phone camera, picks their provider, and confirms arrival — no app to download.
- 3
You are notified
The selected provider receives an instant push notification the moment the client checks in.
Two ways to share
Same check-in. At the desk, or ahead of time.
Every location gets a printable QR code and a copyable check-in link. Use one, or both side by side — whichever fits how your clients arrive.
Share the check-in link
Copy the same location’s check-in link with one click and paste it anywhere — appointment confirmation emails, reminder texts, booking pages, or your website. Clients can check themselves in before they walk in the door.
Great in: confirmation emails, SMS reminders, booking flows.
Built for service businesses that want quick & lightweight
QR Check-In is the right fit if you do not want to buy a dedicated tablet and stand, or you just want something fast to roll out at every location.
- Small offices that do not have the budget — or the desk space — for an iPad kiosk.
- Multi-location practices that want a printable code at every front desk on day one.
- Salons, spas, and wellness studios where clients prefer touching their own phone.
- Pop-up locations, satellite offices, or shared spaces where leaving hardware out is not practical.
- Practices that already send appointment confirmation emails or SMS reminders and want to drop a check-in link into them.
- Anywhere you want a no-friction backup to your existing tablet kiosk.
A code for every location
Each location gets its own QR code. Clients scanning at one office never see providers from another.
Same instant notification
The selected provider gets the same real-time push notification they would from an iPad kiosk check-in.
Rotate codes anytime
Replace the QR for a location instantly from the dashboard. Rate-limited and short-lived sessions stop replay abuse.
Same plan. Both check-in options.
Every FrontDesk subscription includes the tablet kiosk app and QR Check-In. Run one, the other, or both side by side. Plans start at $35/month with a 30-day free trial.
