Tablet Check-In Kiosk
A tablet by the door checks customers in, keeps every screen in sync, and gives the front desk its evening back.
Birdie’s check-in kiosk runs on a standard tablet mounted by your door. Customers tap their name, confirm their booking, and head to their bay with no line at the desk and no staff needed to say hello. Multiple tablets stay in sync in real time, and it pairs with door access for unattended hours.
-
Every arrival needs a greeter.
Somebody has to stand at the desk to tell each customer which bay is theirs. That person could be pouring drinks, fixing a projector, or not on the clock at all.
-
Off-hours access means keys and hope.
You either close when the last shift ends or hand out door codes and trust the group chat. Neither one turns quiet hours into paid hours.
-
Purpose-built kiosks are priced like furniture.
Kiosk vendors want proprietary hardware, mounting kits, and a contract. What you actually need is a tablet by the door and software that treats it like a front door.
Self check-in on a tablet you already own

Common Questions
1 What hardware do I need?
A standard tablet — the kind sold at any electronics store — mounted somewhere near the door. No proprietary kiosk hardware, no vendor contract, no special stand unless you want one.
2 Can I run more than one tablet?
Yes. Tablets sync in real time, so a check-in on one shows up on all of them, and on the staff side, immediately. Put one at the door and one at the desk.
3 Can customers check in when no staff are on site?
That is the point of the door-access pairing: the customer checks in on the tablet and the door lets the right person in during unattended hours. Ask us about supported door hardware.
4 What does the customer actually do?
They walk in, tap their name or booking on the tablet, confirm, and head to their bay. The whole exchange takes seconds, and nobody has to be at the desk for it.
