Watch a walk-in queue run, start to finish, in one minute
Reading about a walk-in queue only goes so far. This one-minute video shows a real line on NextUp: a customer joining from their phone, the team calling them up, and the waiting-room TV and the owner dashboard keeping up as it happens.
Read the transcript
Walk-ins are great for business. A packed waiting room, and customers guessing how long they'll wait, isn't.
With NextUp, customers scan a code and join your line from their own phone. No app to download, and no account to make.
They see their place and a live wait time, so they can grab a coffee, and come back when it's their turn.
Your team runs the line from one screen. Call the next person, seat them, and finish up, with a tap.
The TV in your shop updates the moment anything changes, showing who's up next, and a code to join.
And you see it all from your dashboard: who's waiting, who's in the chair, and how long people are waiting today.

What you see in the video
A customer scans the QR code and joins the line from the phone they already have, with no app to download and no account to make. Their phone shows their place and a live wait time, and it updates on its own as the line moves.
At the counter, the team calls the next person, seats them and finishes up from one staff screen. The TV in the waiting room changes the moment they do, showing who is being called, who is up next and a code to join. The owner sees the same line from the dashboard: who is waiting, who is in the chair, and how long people are waiting today.
Why the line lives on their phone
A packed waiting room is a guess for everyone in it. When the line lives on each customer’s phone, they can step out for a coffee and come back when it is their turn, and the people who do wait in the shop can see on the TV exactly where they stand.
Nobody has to stand by the door with a clipboard, and nobody gets skipped: the phone, the door tablet and the TV all show the same line.
Try the line in the video yourself
The barbershop in the video is a real, live demo line. Join it from your phone, no sign-up and no card, and watch yourself move up as pretend customers are served. Open its TV on a laptop beside you to see the waiting-room display follow along. The demo starts fresh every night.

Questions
Do customers need an app to join the line?
No. They scan the QR code at your door, or tap your link, and join in the web browser on their phone. Walk-ins without a phone can check in on a tablet at the door.
Can I try NextUp without signing up?
Yes. Join the live demo line at nextupwalkin.com/demo from your phone and keep its TV open on another screen. No account or card is needed.
