When the customer enters the room, the tablet has identified the customer's name and number of minutes on the tanning unit.

Tony has the option to offer a product for purchase (or any other offer), on the screen prior to the customer's tan. If the customer decides to make an immediate purchase, the purchase is secured by the card on file with the store. The transaction is automatic; no staff involved. The receipt is electronically submitted to the customer. This seems similar to the concept utilized by gas stations to sell carwashes to customers buying gas. An add on sale, so to speak; or for any other messages that need to be delivered to the customer prior to the customer tanning in the unit. The customer has to clear the screen prior to starting the tanning unit. Great opportunity to inform or sell the customer! I do not know if it will ever be available outside Zoomtan, but it seems like a nice technological advance.
How does he prevent customers from stealing the pads?
