How it works

Five steps. The first three take an afternoon.

  1. Configure your venue

    Set hours, capacity, and the form fields visitors fill in. Plan about an hour. Longer if you want to tune which fields are required.

    AaNotesOptional
  2. Publish your booking page

    You get a public URL. Visitors pick a slot and get a confirmation email with links to reschedule or cancel without calling you.

  3. Check visitors in

    The kiosk runs in any browser. Staff scan a QR code or search by name. Walk-ins book on the spot.

  4. Cancellations promote the next person

    Someone cancels. The next person on the waitlist moves up and gets a confirmation email. You handle the edge cases.

    A. Chen · 10:30promoted
    → confirmation email sent
  5. Pull a report

    Check headcount by period, booking sources, no-shows, cancellations. Export a CSV of your register. Pipe it into your analytics tool or build a chart yourself.
