POS terminal feature for the digital cloakroom
With Tapcoat, you can integrate a point-of-sale terminal (POS terminal), tablets, or smartphones directly into your cloakroom process. Payments can be handled right at check-in or at pickup, without detours, separate systems, or annoying waiting times – always visible to your guest.
Tapcoat as a POS cloakroom terminal
Turn Tapcoat into a POS terminal
For paid cloakrooms in particular, a cleanly integrated payment process is essential. With the Tapcoat app and a connected smartphone, tablet, or POS terminal, payment becomes a direct part of your cloakroom workflow. Guests pay on the spot, while the app keeps a digital, traceable record of each assignment. This way, your team works in one structured process instead of juggling several separate solutions.
The app benefits: digital check-in, faster workflows, fewer errors, and a more modern experience for your guests. This improves not just speed, but the entire guest experience.

How Tapcoat becomes your POS terminal
Tapcoat can be integrated into your cloakroom system as a POS terminal via the built-in Spectator Mode – in three different setups, depending on your requirements and budget:
- Mobile scanner (DIY): An Android or iOS device with the Tapcoat app serves as a full-fledged mobile terminal – flexible, lightweight, and ready to use immediately.
- Two-device setup (DIY POS): One iOS or Android device runs the admin screen, a second one shows the customer screen. This turns existing hardware into a full-fledged POS terminal.
- Dedicated POS terminal: Tapcoat runs on Android-based POS terminals from well-known providers – for professional, continuous use with maximum reliability.
This way, Tapcoat adapts to your setup – not the other way around.
A terminal that lightens the load
The terminal feature takes pressure off your team and integrates payments seamlessly
From arrival to pickup, your guests experience a clear, uninterrupted process: check-in, payment, and pickup fit together seamlessly – no detours, no waiting, no follow-up questions.
This pays off especially for paid cloakrooms – in clubs, theaters, arenas, at trade shows, festivals, or corporate events. Guests can see at any time where they are in the process. This builds trust and noticeably speeds things up.
Combined with QR code, NFC, or a guest list, this creates an end-to-end process – from the first scan to pickup.
POS payments right in the cloakroom process
Pay quickly, assign clearly, and noticeably simplify on-site workflows
With the POS terminal feature, payment becomes a direct part of your cloakroom process. Guests pay easily on site, while check-in, payment, and assignment fit neatly together. This means less friction in operations, a more structured way of working for your team, and an overall process that is more modern, faster, and more professional.

Smart Check-in with QR code & NFC
Tapcoat registers each item uniquely via QR code or NFC – no app needed. This prevents mix-ups and integrates existing event tickets or entry passes.
Self Check-in
Tapcoat uses existing QR codes as identifiers and assigns items digitally. This shortens wait times and eliminates the need for extra tickets or apps.
Digital billing & accounting
Tapcoat logs every drop-off and pickup automatically. This automates billing, records, and the handover to your accounting team or tax advisor.
