iPad check-in
Pick a station surface
Use the salon station/display URL on a dedicated browser or iPad at the counter—not a shared staff cabinet login on the public desk.
Welcome, Nina
Scan the code or fill the form on the iPad.
ConsentChecked in
Place the device where clients naturally stop. Staff on Google login should see check-ins appear on the day board without asking who just walked in.
Check-in and consent
Handoff tokens support QR/SMS flows into forms and check-in. Ensure consent templates are published before you expect PDFs on the client file.
