Give your waiting room a voice
The live line, on the wall, in your colors. A soft chime, a name said aloud, a full-screen “You’re up!” and the wait on display, so nobody has to ask how long. Plug in an Apple TV or a streaming stick, pair it with a short code, and your waiting room starts talking.
- Now calling, up next
- Chime and spoken names
- Your logo and colors
The whole room knows whose turn it is
Call the next person and the TV changes at once: their name, the chair they’re headed to, who’s next and how long the wait is. Tap a screen to see it.

Never a dead screen between calls
Your waiting room is the best billboard you own. Between calls the TV rotates what your customers actually want to see.
Example: the screen between calls at Fade Room Barbershop.
Easy to hear, lovely to see
A soft chime, a name said aloud, a full-screen “You’re up!” Choose what your TV does from Brand & Theme, then TV Display. Every extra is off until you turn it on.
Chime on every call
Said aloudMaya, you're up. Chris is ready for you.

Example: the TV Display settings in the dashboard.
Your TV, dressed like your shop
Your colors, your fonts, your logo, from the far chair to the front door. It looks like you built it yourself, because in a way you did.

The Saturday rush, calm
Twelve people in the shop and not one shouted name. The TV tells the room who’s next, and every regular knows exactly how long they have.
Example: each business’s TV in its own look. Yours takes your colors and fonts.
Any screen you already own
An ordinary TV with a small device in its HDMI port is all it takes. Pair it once with a short code and it stays connected, even after a restart.

Questions
Good questions, straight answers
How do I connect a TV?
The TV shows a 6-character code. Type it under Connect a TV on your Locations page, from your phone or a computer. The code is one-time use and good for 15 minutes, and after a restart the TV reconnects on its own.
Can I change what the TV looks and sounds like?
Yes. From Brand & Theme, then TV Display, you can add your logo and colors and turn on the chime, the call-up spotlight, rotating content, the large-text line and weather. Each extra is off until you turn it on.
Can customers walk to the right chair?
With a Layout Map, the TV can show the route to the chair. See Floor plan calling.
What should a waiting-room TV show?
Who is being called and who is next, the current wait and a code to join, so nobody has to ask the desk. Between calls it can rotate the wait, flash sales, Lookbook styles and recent reviews.
Which plans have the TV display?
Every plan, the Free plan included, within its limits. The Free plan includes every app: the Staff Screen, the TV display, the Door Tablet and the phone apps.
What shows on the TV about customers?
First name and last initial only, with the team member they are going to.
Do I need to buy special hardware?
No. Any ordinary TV works with an Apple TV or a streaming stick. A spare tablet in landscape works too.
Do the spotlight and rotating content work on every device?
They show in a web browser, the Apple TV app and the Roku app. The large-text line and spoken call-ups are not on Apple TV and Roku yet.
