How to Set Up QuickBooks Time Kiosk?

To set up a QuickBooks Time Kiosk, first add the Kiosk feature in QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks’ time clock app for small business. Select a compatible device, install the Kiosk app, and set preferences like the inactivity timer duration. Limit device use to the Time Kiosk app to prevent navigation to other apps. Set team member PINs so they can clock in and out using the kiosk.
