How do you set up a tablet kiosk game at the counter?

Updated: 2026-09-25 · Dawwerni team

Any Android or iPad tablet works: mount it on a small stand near the register, open Dawwerni in kiosk mode so customers can only play the game, and have them tap right after paying. They win a discount for their next visit, staff sees the code appear on the counter screen or the customer's phone, and validates it in one tap.

Hardware you actually need

• Any tablet from the last 5 years, Android or iPad — no special specs required, just a working screen and Wi-Fi
• A countertop stand (adjustable angle) so it sits at eye level near the register, not flat on the counter where it gets ignored
• A charging cable routed behind the counter — a dead tablet is the #1 reason a kiosk stops being used
• Optional: a protective case or screen guard if the counter area is near drinks or food

Setting up kiosk mode

Open the Dawwerni game link in the tablet browser and enable the device's built-in kiosk/guided-access mode (Android "Screen Pinning" or iPad "Guided Access") so the customer cannot exit to the home screen, browse the web, or close the app by mistake. Set the screen to auto-return to the game start screen after each play, so it is always ready for the next customer.

Where it fits in the customer flow

• Best moment: right after payment, while the receipt prints or change is counted — no added wait time
• Staff hands the tablet over or simply says "You can play while I finish that" — one sentence, no pressure
• During a queue, a second tablet (or the same one facing the waiting area) lets people play while waiting, but always tie the reward to a purchase already made or about to be made
• Avoid placing it as the very first thing a walk-in sees — it should feel like a bonus after buying, not a gate before

Staff script and anti-abuse

A short line is enough: "Thanks for coming — want to spin for a reward on your next visit? It takes 10 seconds." Dawwerni limits plays per phone number automatically (once per visit, or once per day), so staff never has to police it manually.

Winning codes are generated per phone number and verified in the app when redeemed, which prevents someone from screenshotting a friend's win or playing on repeat with the same device.

Results to watch after launch

• Plays per day vs. transactions per day — a healthy kiosk gets played by 40-70% of paying customers
• Redemption rate on the next visit — this is the number that proves the kiosk brings people back, not just entertains them
• Average time between play and redemption — tells you if your expiry window (usually 7-14 days) is well calibrated
• Which staff shift gets the highest play rate — often a training or reminder issue, not a customer interest issue
