Record Shop Kiosk: Self-Service Lookup on the Floor
Updated 2026-08-02
The Shopfloor Kiosk answers the two questions customers ask most — 'what is this?' and 'what does it sound like?' — without occupying a staff member. It runs on a tablet in the shop and turns browsing time into buying time.
What a customer can do at the kiosk
The kiosk is deliberately narrow: it does one job well and exposes nothing from your back office.
- Scan or search a record and see the pressing details
- Read the album's background and release context
- Play an audio preview before deciding
- See whether the copy is in stock and at what price
What you get from it
Every kiosk interaction is logged anonymously, which gives you demand data straight from your own floor: which titles are looked up but not bought, which genres attract attention on which days, and where your pricing is losing sales.
Safe by design
The kiosk view has no access to purchase prices, margins, supplier data or customer records. It is a read-only surface on your public catalogue, and role-based access keeps staff functions behind a login.
Frequently asked
Can customers see my purchase prices?
No. The kiosk only exposes public catalogue information and the asking price; all back-office data stays behind role-based access.
Does the kiosk collect personal data?
Scan analytics are anonymous — no personal data is stored from kiosk interactions.
