What walk-ins are like today

The stuff that eats a shift, before anything changes.

  • Weekend rushes

    Groups arrive together and the waiting area overflows onto the sidewalk.

  • Mixed services

    Manicures and full sets take different times, so the wait is hard to call.

  • No-shows on the list

    Paper lists fill with names of people who already left.

How NextUp helps

What changes once the line lives on a phone instead of a bench.

1

A clean, live list

People who leave the line drop off it themselves.

2

Honest estimates

Techs on duty and average service time drive the wait everyone sees.

3

Busy hours, charted

See when the rush really hits and staff for it.
