When to use it

A client arrives without a scheduled visit, or your team needs a clear view of who is next and what is missing.

How to use it

  1. Open Walk-ins and add the arriving client using the available client and appointment details.
  2. Review the queue and the next-client information, including service details and outstanding requirements.
  3. Open the client's appointment link or relevant form to complete required intake and the current waiver.
  4. Start service only when required checks are satisfied. At the end, confirm the service total, record received payments, and complete the visit.

What to know first

  • Required intake and the appointment's current waiver must be complete before a guarded service start.
  • Use a zero service total only for a genuinely no-charge visit. Do not record a payment that has not been received.
  • This is the business's walk-in workflow; it is not a separate shared-device kiosk mode.

How it connects

The queue links to the same appointment, client history, readiness, and payment information used elsewhere in Dino.

A useful habit

Before creating a new client, check whether the person already has a record so their history stays together.
