About NextUp Walk-in

In his words

Why Trinidad runs his shop on NextUp Walk-in.

We have a lot of barbers in the shop, and with a paper clipboard nobody could keep track of who was next or how long the wait really was. People would walk in, see the clipboard and a room full of people, and a lot of them, parents with kids especially, would figure it was going to take forever and walk right back out. And when someone asked a barber how long it would be, that barber often didn't know, so we'd give the wrong answer and lose them anyway. Now they check in on the kiosk, look up at the TV, or scan the QR code on our front window before they even walk in. Everybody can see where they stand. It finally feels like a modern shop.
