Use an iPad, Android tablet, or any computer with a screen. Wall-mount it near your entrance for easy access.

Open Ippon System and log in with any staff account (Coach level or higher).
Enable Kiosk Mode
Go to Attendance → Enter Kiosk Mode or click the kiosk icon in the top navigation.
Select the location (optional)
If you have multiple locations, select which one this kiosk is for. This ensures members check in to the correct location's classes.

Good budget option. Use Screen Pinning or a kiosk launcher app. Samsung tablets work well with Knox kiosk mode.
