    There is a small gym where customers can walk in, sign up, order a membership, and do the training they want. The sign up has always been done by filling in forms with pen and paper. Now we would like to change our method to an online method. We found an online system where customers can sign up, order their membership, and they let us know their presence when entering the gym. They do this by using 2 websites. 1 for ordering an membership to be able to use the space and and a 2nd website for mentioning their presence in the gym.
     
    We have a Samsung tablet at the entrance of our gym and for now the tablet is working as a tablet is working:
    - you can download apps
    - you can surf on the internet
    - you can go into the settings and change things if you would like
     
    We would like the following result: Customers can only visit the two websites and are not able to exit the two websites to do something else.
     
    Does somebody know how that could work? Are there block-apps that can help?
    If 2 websites are too complicated, then any advice for 1 website would also be helpful.
     
    I hope that somebody can help me out.
    Thank in advance!

    You will need the help of an andoid app programmer who makes an app that is custom for your needs and navigation locked out and only static web sites available to them with no URL options to go elsewhere. They would likely add a special lock/unlock feature so that you can manage the tablet such as tap all 4 corners clock-wise for like, top left, top right, lower right, lower left then a box pops up with a password to get out of kiosk mode and allow you to manage the device, and then lock it afterwards back to kiosk mode.

    Local hospital here had a programmer make their tablets only run as kiosk for Questioning Patients prior to their visit. Not sure what it would cost you to have this done, but there are people out there who can do this sort of work if you put out an ad for help wanted for andoid app development and then see what they quote for price tag.
