Visitor management kiosk
What is a visitor management kiosk?
A visitor management kiosk is a self-service screen at the entrance or reception where guests check themselves in. The kiosk confirms the visit, can print a visitor label and notifies the host that their guest has arrived, so reception can focus on people rather than paperwork.
Why use a kiosk
A kiosk speeds up arrival for pre-registered guests, keeps the queue at reception short and creates a consistent digital record of every visit. It also works when reception is busy or unstaffed.
What a kiosk typically does
- Lets pre-registered guests find their name and check in
- Registers walk-in guests
- Prints a visitor label or badge
- Notifies the host by email or SMS
How AskCody handles check-in kiosks
AskCody visitor management runs the check-in screen on an iPad or a Windows touch PC, with optional automatic label printing. Hosts are notified when their guest checks in, and guests can be registered in advance from the Outlook add-in. See visitor management.
Frequently asked questions
Do visitors need an app to use a kiosk?
No. The kiosk is a shared screen at reception, so guests check in without installing anything.
Can a kiosk replace a receptionist?
It handles the routine check-in. Most organizations still keep people at reception for hospitality, questions and security.
