Turn the tablet in your lobby into your portfolio

Every shop has a tablet sitting around. Kiosk mode turns it into a lobby version of your own site — no app to install, nothing to maintain, and it resets itself between clients.

Add /kiosk to your website address and you are looking at it.

What a client sees

It idles on a Touch to start screen that cycles each artist’s strongest piece with their name on it. One tap opens the hub, which offers two Artist for shops with at least four artists) and a Watch section that plays video from your own YouTube channel, TattooNOW’s, or both.

Leave it alone and it counts down, then returns to the Touch-to-start screen and clears whatever the last person was looking at. The next client always starts fresh.

Setting it up

In your admin there is a printable Lobby iPad card. It carries a QR code pointing at your own kiosk address, so you can scan it with the tablet camera instead of typing a URL, and it lists the Guided Access steps that lock the tablet to your site — so a guest cannot wander off into Safari.

That same link opens on any phone, which makes the printed card useful on the counter too.

Choosing what it shows

Under Lobby Tablet options you pick which games appear and which YouTube channel feeds the Watch section. Change nothing and you get the sensible defaults: both games on, and TattooNOW video in the Watch tile.
