Feature
Teregna's self check-in system replaces the paper sign-in sheet with a QR code on your door or front desk. Customers scan, enter their name, pick their service, and they're in the queue — without touching a shared pen or waiting for a staff member to log them in.
You print one QR code (or display it on a tablet kiosk). When a customer scans it, they see your business name, the current queue, and a form to check in. The whole process takes about 20 seconds. Your dashboard updates in real time the moment someone joins.
For businesses with multiple service types — a salon with haircuts, color, and blowouts, or a clinic with different appointment reasons — customers can select their service type at check-in. Your staff see exactly who's waiting for what, before anyone reaches the desk.
The paper list has a fundamental problem: it only captures customers who stayed long enough to sign it. A customer who walked in, saw 8 names on the sheet, and left without signing is invisible to your records.
With digital check-in, customers know the wait before they commit to staying. And because they're tracking their position live on their phone, they don't need to physically wait inside — they can get coffee, sit in their car, or run a quick errand. Walk-outs drop because customers have information instead of uncertainty.
If you want a more polished front-desk experience, Teregna's kiosk mode turns any tablet into a full check-in station. It shows your business name, current queue length, and estimated wait time — rotating automatically and handling check-ins without any staff interaction. Available in 9 languages including Amharic, Tigrinya, Spanish, and Arabic.
No new hardware required. Self check-in works from any smartphone camera — no app to download, no account for customers to create. You get a QR code. They scan it. Done.
