Kiosk without printer

The customer picks their service on a touch screen at the venue and gets a digital ticket: they see it on screen and can scan a QR code to follow it on their phone. No paper and no Print Server.

When to use this topology

• You want a modern, paperless image.
• The budget doesn't include a printer.
• Space is limited (a tablet on the counter).

Installation steps

1. Create the kiosk

Kiosks → New Kiosk

• Name and Location.
• Kiosk language: the language it starts in. The customer can switch it on screen, and the kiosk goes back to it after each ticket or after a minute without use.
• Online kiosk (no hardware): off.
• SMS alert: optional, to ask for a phone and text the customer when called. See SMS alerts.
• Printer: none.
• Available services: tick the services and, for each one, whether it gives walk-in tickets, appointments or both.

2. Open the kiosk on the tablet

1. Install a tablet stand on the counter.
2. In the panel, Kiosks → the kiosk's copy icon ("Copy kiosk link"), and open that link in Chrome on the tablet. It carries the kiosk token (https://yourturn.space/?kiosk=ID&token=…); without it the kiosk can't issue tickets.
3. Click the "Full screen" button (bottom-right corner).
4. On Android, use "Screen pinning" or a kiosk app so nobody can leave the browser.

3. (Optional) Waiting display

Highly recommended even without paper. See Display on shared PC.
