What is the check-in kiosk?
The check-in kiosk is an integration offered to all Glofox customers. It's a self-check-in service to add convenience and efficiency to your client check-in process. The idea is that the check-in kiosk will free up your trainers' time ahead of class; instead of booking in latecomers, the trainer will direct them towards the check-in kiosk to book themselves in. This will give your trainers and possibly your receptionists more time to spend welcoming newcomers, catching up with clients and getting the studio ready for the session.
Walk-in members can also book into a class that has an open slot, provided they have credits or if the class on offer is free (If they have to purchase the class, they will be directed to the reception to pay). With the Kiosk app, you can gain better insights into member booking behavior, for example, clients that book but don't show up, booking last minute, etc.
How to set up the check-in kiosk
To set up the check-in kiosk follow these steps;

Please note;
For the ideal experience, open the kiosk link on a tablet, and leave it beside the entrance of the facility, so that members can easily find it, and check into classes on their end
Check-in clients from the check-in kiosk
Checking into classes with the check-in kiosk is easy, and there are two ways to do it, 'Class View', or 'Search View'. 'Class View' will allow your clients to book themselves into upcoming classes by showing the latest classes on the kiosk. Alternatively, the 'Search View' will allow your clients to search for their name in the check-in.
