The problem
A busy salon shouldn’t run on a clipboard and guesswork
Paper waitlists, “who’s next?” confusion, and clients who wander off and lose their place. WalkInCheckIn replaces all of it with one calm, real-time system your whole team and your clients can see.
Without WalkInCheckIn
- A paper list nobody can read
- Clients asking “how much longer?”
- Walk-ins lost when they step out
- No idea who your regulars are

- Clients watch their place and wait time
- Step-out hold keeps their spot

Walk-in queue
A live queue that replaces the paper waitlist
WalkInCheckIn’s walk-in queue gives every client a daily ticket number and a live position in line, so your team always knows who’s next and clients can step out without losing their spot.
- Daily ticket numbers and a clear, ordered waitlist per shop
- Step-out hold with a fair grace window and capped extensions
- Assign the next client to a specific staff member, no double-grabs
- Group check-ins for families and friends arriving together
Self-service kiosk
Clients check themselves in on an iPad, or their phone
A self-service kiosk lets clients join the queue in seconds on an in-store iPad or their own phone, so there’s no line just to get into line.
- Guided check-in, pick a service, join the queue, done
- Runs on a shared iPad in kiosk mode, or the client’s own phone
- Shows live promotions and the client’s loyalty balance
- Simple pairing with a short code, no complex setup
Loyalty engine
Turn one-time walk-ins into regulars
WalkInCheckIn’s built-in loyalty engine awards points automatically on every completed visit, so you reward repeat clients without a separate app or paper punch cards.
- Points earned automatically on every completed visit
- A rewards catalogue you control, per shop or across all shops
- Redemption with clean reversal if something’s wrong
- Balance shown to clients right at the kiosk
Real-time, not refresh
The whole shop sees the same thing, the instant it changes
WalkInCheckIn is genuinely real-time. Every check-in, assignment, step-out and completion updates every connected screen at once, so nobody's working from a stale list.
- Waiting-room screen, front desk and staff tablets always agree
- Per-location live feeds, shops never bleed into each other
- Auto-reconnects if the network blips
Analytics & reporting
Decision-grade dashboards at every level
WalkInCheckIn reports on your whole business, one location, or one person, covering visits, revenue, wait times and staff performance.

Multi-location
Run 1 shop or 50 from one login
WalkInCheckIn is multi-location first: one account owns many shops, each with its own branding, hours and data, cleanly separated and rolled up where it matters.
- One account, many shops, switch without logging out
- Per-location branding, hours and settings
- Strict data isolation between locations
- Friendly, per-location web addresses

Questions, answered
Everything you need to know about running your front desk on WalkInCheckIn.
Does WalkInCheckIn work for walk-ins without an appointment?
Yes. WalkInCheckIn is built walk-in first: clients join a live queue from a kiosk or their own phone, get a live position in line, and you serve them in order. No appointment required.
Can one account manage multiple salon locations?
Yes. WalkInCheckIn is multi-location first. One account owns many shops, each with its own branding, hours and data, plus a roll-up view across all of them.
Do my clients need to download an app?
No. Clients check in on an in-store iPad or their own phone via a simple link. There is nothing to download, and no account to create.
Does WalkInCheckIn handle bookings as well as walk-ins?
WalkInCheckIn currently manages walk-in visits. It does not schedule future appointments, reserve time slots or synchronise external calendars. Keep your existing appointment calendar and coordinate arrivals at the front desk.
Is loyalty and client CRM built in?
Yes. Every completed visit builds a client record and awards loyalty points automatically. There is no separate CRM or loyalty app to buy.
How long does it take to get started?
Most salons are live in days, not months. There is no long onboarding or lock-in. Pair an iPad, add your services, and you are running.
