A Front Desk Display allows clients to check out at the front desk using an iPad and Bluetooth card reader.

To use a Front Desk Display, you will need the following:

• iPad (iPadOS 13 or later). This iPad will be client-facing only—you cannot use this iPad to view the calendar. This iPad will remain in Kiosk Mode.

• iPad stand. Short and tall versions of the iPad stand can be ordered from the Mangomint Store.

• Bluetooth card reader. The card reader and dock can be ordered from the Mangomint Store.

• A device to trigger payments on the Front Desk Display, such as a computer, phone, or tablet (including Android devices).
