Set up your first kiosk
Account, location, device activation and your first check-in — most teams finish in under an hour.
1
Create your locationFrom the dashboard, add a location — a single structure. Set its address, timezone and country (this also sets the kiosk’s default phone country code).
2
Configure visit reasonsAdd the reasons visitors can pick — meeting, interview, delivery, contractor. Each reason gets its own flow: toggle steps like Details, Host, NDA, Photo and Screening per reason.
3
Brand the welcome screenUpload your logo and pick between the clean welcome or a full-image branded welcome. Your button labels are editable too.
4
Activate the deviceInstall the CoReceptionist app on your iPad or Android tablet, then enter the one-time activation code from Devices. The kiosk locks to your location and can be revoked remotely at any time.
5
Run a test check-inWalk the flow as a visitor: pick a reason, enter details, sign the NDA if enabled, take the photo, and confirm the host notification lands via email, SMS or Slack.
TIPEnable returning-visitor quick sign-in once your regulars have checked in — their next visit takes seconds, and the badge can print straight from their last details.
