What a QR check-in poster is for
A QR code check-in poster tells people what to do the moment they walk in: point a phone camera at the code and follow the link. It is a small thing, but it cuts the “where do I sign in?” question at reception, and it works on any modern iPhone or Android phone without an app.
Put it where people pause: on the front door, next to the reception desk, by the visitor badge tray, or at the entrance to a site office. Print it on US Letter or A4, and slip it into a clear stand or frame so it stays flat and readable.
What to put on it
Your office or building name, so people know they are in the right place. A short action headline such as “Scan to see paperless check-in”. One line telling people to point their camera at the code. Your logo makes the poster look official, which makes people more comfortable scanning. Leave plenty of white space around the code: that quiet border is part of what lets phones read it quickly.
Tips for a poster people actually scan
- Keep it big and plain. A large code, a short headline and your logo. Busy posters get ignored.
- Mind the light. Glossy laminate under bright lights can stop a camera from reading the code. Matte paper or a non-glare sleeve works best.
- Eye level, close to the door. People should be able to scan without leaning over a counter.
- Test it after printing. Scan the printed page with two different phones before you put it up.
- Keep a fallback. Some guests will not want to use their phone. A printable sign in sheet at the desk covers them.
Where the code goes
The code on this poster opens the frontkiosk iPad sign-in demo, so you, your team or your visitors can see what a tablet check-in looks like before you change anything at the front desk. frontkiosk runs in the browser on a kiosk tablet at reception: guests sign in, the right host gets an email, and you have an up-to-date list of who is on site.
