iPad Kiosk Setup Guide for Event Check-In
A self-service kiosk lane releases pressure on staffed stations during peak arrival. Here's how to turn an off-the-shelf iPad into a reliable kiosk that survives a 1,000-person rush.
The 5-step kiosk setup
- Mount it. A floor stand or counter mount with a power passthrough is non-negotiable.
- Lock the app. Enable Guided Access or MDM Single App Mode pinned to the EventFlow kiosk URL.
- Disable notifications. Turn on Do Not Disturb and disable software-update prompts.
- Pre-cache attendees. Open the kiosk before doors open so the offline cache populates.
- Plug in power. Always wall-powered — never run on battery during the event.
