# Kiosk mode > A locked-down, simplified interface that shows an operator only the controls an administrator allows. Category: Software. Kiosk mode is a locked-down user interface that shows operators only what an administrator allows, often just a button to take a photo and move to the next step. All settings stay hidden in the background. ## How PhotoRobot uses it In PhotoRobot Controls, Kiosk mode runs configured wizards so that operation can be reduced to a start button or a barcode scan. PhotoRobot states this lets studios employ staff with very little training. The PINK medical system uses Kiosk mode so clinic staff only scan the patient's barcode. ## See on photorobot.com - [Wizard and Kiosk mode manual](https://www.photorobot.com/manuals/wizard-mode) ## Related terms - [Wizard mode](https://www.photorobot.com/glossary/wizard-mode): PhotoRobot Controls mode that guides an operator through predefined capture steps one at a time. - [PINK (PhotoRobot Medical)](https://www.photorobot.com/glossary/photorobot-pink): PhotoRobot clinical photography system that photographs the upper body of a standing patient from defined angles. - [Barcode](https://www.photorobot.com/glossary/barcode): A machine-readable code on a product or label, scanned to identify items without typing. - [Preset](https://www.photorobot.com/glossary/preset): Saved PhotoRobot Controls settings for capture and editing, applied automatically to similar products. ## Where this term appears on photorobot.com Mentioned on 9 pages.
