Kiosk
Set up a tablet kiosk so queuers can scan or take a manual number on-site.
The kiosk is a tablet-mounted version of the queue sign. By default, a tablet running the kiosk URL shows a QR code on screen and a button to take a manual queue number for queuers who don’t want to use their phone.
Use it as a fallback for queuers without phones, or in stores where a tablet by the entrance is more visible than a printed sign.
Finding the kiosk URL
Section titled “Finding the kiosk URL”Each queue and each group has its own kiosk URL. Find it inside the queue (or group) page in Flowby admin, in the same place as the QR code.
Setting it up on an iPad
Section titled “Setting it up on an iPad”-
Open the Queue kiosk URL in Safari on the iPad.
-
Tap the Share icon (square with up-arrow).
-
Choose Add to Home Screen. iOS creates a Flowby icon on the home screen.
-
Tap that icon. It launches the kiosk in full-screen mode (no Safari address bar). This is the only way to fully hide the browser chrome on iOS.
Variants
Section titled “Variants”- Per-queue kiosk: one queue, one tablet. Queuers can scan or take a manual number for that specific queue.
- Per-group kiosk: the group’s kiosk URL lets the queuer choose from the group’s queues before taking a manual number. With the QR code shown, they can also scan it and choose a queue on their phone.
- Printer kiosk: pair the iPad with a Star printer to actually print paper tickets. See printer.
Display mode
Section titled “Display mode”Open the queue or group’s settings and find Kiosk Display Mode. QR code and manual button is the default. Choose Manual button only to hide the QR code and show one large button for taking a number. On a group kiosk, the queuer then chooses a queue after tapping the button.
