+Hardware
+========
+
+Kiosk management
+================
+
+A kiosk is a self-service station that allows employees to check in and check out for work shifts.
+
+There are two ways to set up a kiosk:
+
+- **Laptop and desktop PC**
+
+  Running a kiosk in a web browser is the cheapest and most flexible option. You can print employee
+  badges with any thermal or inkjet printer compatible with your web browser.
+
+- **Tablet and mobile phone (Android or iOS)**
+
+  Tablets and mobile phones take up much less space, and their touchscreens are easy to use.
+  Consider putting them in a secure stand at the front desk or mounting them securely on a wall.
+
+  .. tip::
+     We recommend using an iPad together with the `Heckler Design WindFall Stand
+     <https://hecklerdesign.com/products/windfall-stand-for-ipad>`_
+
+RFID key fob readers
+====================
+
+Employees can scan personal RFID key fobs with an RFID reader to manage check-ins and check-outs
+quickly and easily.

+   We recommend using the `Neuftech USB RFID Reader <https://neuftech.net/Neuftech-USB-RFID-Reader-ID-Kartenleseger%C3%A4t-Kartenleser-Kontaktlos-Card-Reader-f%C3%BCr-EM4100>`_.
+
+.. note::
+   An IoT box is **not** required.
+
+Barcode scanners
+================
+
+Employees can scan the barcode on their employee badges to manage check-ins and check-outs quickly
+and easily. The kiosk mode works with most USB barcode scanners connected directly to a computer.
+Bluetooth barcode scanners are also supported natively.
+
+.. tip::
+   We recommend using the `Honeywell product line
+   <https://sps.honeywell.com/us/en/products/productivity/barcode-scanners>`_. If the barcode
+   scanner is connected directly to a computer, it must be configured to use the computer's keyboard
+   layout.
