Workflow Example (Hotel Check-In)
1. Welcome Screen: The terminal greets the user and prompts them to select a language.
2. Reservation Lookup: The guest enters their reservation number, scans a QR code, or inputs their name and ID.
3. ID Verification: The guest scans their passport or driver's license. The system auto-populates their details and verifies validity.
4. Payment: If the reservation is not prepaid, the guest selects a payment method (e.g., card, mobile wallet) and completes the transaction.
5. Customization: The guest chooses room preferences (e.g., floor, bed type), adds services (e.g., breakfast buffet), or links their loyalty account.
6. Key/Card Dispensing: The terminal issues a room key card, RFID wristband, or mobile key (if integrated with a hotel app).
7. Confirmation: The guest receives a digital receipt via email or SMS, along with directions to their room or next steps.
8. Check-Out: At checkout, the guest returns the key, settles any incidentals, and rates their stay (optional feedback prompt).
