InPops
The walk-in check-in kiosk

A self check-in kiosk for nail salon walk-ins.

An iPad by the door. Walk-ins tap in, see an honest wait, and get a text when their seat is ready.

The InPops check-in kiosk on an iPad: Welcome, the current wait, Join the waitlist, and the three parties waiting now

How a walk-in checks in

Three steps on the iPad, no keyboard, no account.

  • Name, then how many in the party, then what each guest would like. A mobile number is optional.
  • The screen shows the wait before they commit, so nobody joins a list they can't stay for.
  • The lobby list shows first names and their place in line. It resets itself, so nobody's number is left on screen.

Where the wait time comes from

Not an average. Every chair, every shift, every booking and every party ahead in line, worked through. The wait is what the room can do.

  • Appointments stay in the estimate until they are marked a no-show, so a walk-in is never promised a chair a booking is about to take
  • Two technicians on one guest, a manicure and a pedicure at once, count the way they happen on the floor
  • Keep a chair or two for walk-ins only, if you like; walk-ins are never capped

The text that brings them back

Guests can step out. Their phone shows their place in line; a text says when it's time.

  • “Your seat at Universe Nail Spa is ready. Please come to the front desk.”
  • The same list the kiosk shows is the list the floor board seats from, so nothing is typed twice

When you need to slow the door down

Pause or close walk-ins with your own message. If nobody could serve a new party, the iPad closes itself and reopens when it can.

What it costs

Nothing on top. The kiosk is a free iPad app for iPadOS 17 or later, paired with a six-digit code from Settings, and it's part of the $149 a month every salon pays. No hardware to lease, no stand required.

Questions salon owners ask us

Still wondering? Write to hello@inpops.com.

Does the kiosk need an internet connection?

Yes, Wi-Fi. It keeps its last state for a moment if the connection drops and catches up when it returns.

Can guests join the waitlist from home?

Not yet. The list is for guests who are here; that is what keeps the wait honest for everyone in the room.

What if the iPad walks off?

It holds no guest data and no login. Revoke it from Settings and it is locked out on its next request.
