A full waiting room, and nobody shouting.
Customers join from their phone and watch their place move. When you call them, their name lights up the TV and their phone together. No app, no clipboard, no “how much longer?”
This is what a full waiting room feels like
The Saturday rush, calm. Everyone knows where they stand, the person who’s up hears their name, and nobody asks “how much longer?” Tap a state to see the TV change.

One Saturday, from open to close
A full shop does not have to feel like one. Here is a busy day, told from the waiting room.
Doors open
The Door Tablet wakes up. The TV says “Scan to join the line.”
On the screen~8 minThe line builds
People join from the QR code and the link in your bio. The TV shows who is next.
On the screen~18 minOne chair runs long
A color takes longer than planned. The wait moves on every screen before anyone asks.
On the screen~10 → ~15 minThe rush
Fifteen people join in one hour. Your team taps Call next, and nobody raises their voice.
On the screen~22 minMaya hears her name
Her name lights up the TV and her phone at the same moment. She walks to the chair.
On the screenCalledCalm again
The last name is called. Everyone was seen, and nobody asked how much longer.
On the screenNo wait
An example Saturday at an imaginary shop. Made-up numbers.
A wait your customers can trust
The wait on the screen is an estimate. It comes from how fast your team is moving today, and it changes as the line does. When a haircut runs long, customers see the number grow, so they hear the truth from the TV instead of from you.
A hello at the door, calm at the chair
The Door Tablet greets people and takes their name. The Staff Screen lets your team call the next person with one tap. Both read the same line as the TV.

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.
What comes with the line
Call the next person once and every screen follows. All of it is on every plan, Free included.
The TV Display
Who is called, who is next and the wait, readable from the far chair.
More on the waiting-room TV displayA Door Tablet that stays put
Kiosk mode stays on check-in, then clears for the next person.
More on the check-in kioskWait anywhere
Clients who opt in to notifications can wait in the car or next door.
Screens you already own
Native TV apps for Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV and Google TV. Phones, tablets and computers run in a browser.
From the door to the chair in four beats
Nothing to learn. Your customers do it once and your team does one tap.
- 1
Join the line
QR code, bio link or Door Tablet. A name and about ten seconds.

Sit down on time
No crowding at the desk, no shouted names, no lost paper tickets.
Waiting room TV display for walk-in shops
A waiting room TV display shows your live walk-in line on a screen in the shop: who is next, who is being called and the current wait. NextUp Walk-in runs it from the same line as the customer's phone, the Door Tablet and the Staff Screen, so one tap to call the next person updates all of them.
What is a waiting room TV display?
A screen on the wall that shows your live walk-in line: who is next, who is being called now and about how long the wait is. NextUp Walk-in draws it from the same line your team uses, so it is never out of date.
What do I need to run a waiting room TV display?
A TV and a way to open the NextUp Walk-in TV screen on it: a streaming stick, or a native TV app where one is available. Pair it with a short code, no cables or setup project.
Does the TV call customers by name?
Yes. When staff call the next person, their name appears on the TV and on their own phone at the same moment, so nobody has to shout names across the room.
Do customers need to download an app?
No. They scan the QR code at the door, tap your link or type a name on the Door Tablet, then watch their place from their phone browser.
Can I use a tablet at the door instead of, or as well as, a TV?
Yes. The Door Tablet lets customers check themselves in, and kiosk mode clears after each customer. It reads the same line as the TV and the Staff Screen.
Can customers wait somewhere else?
Yes. Clients who opt in to notifications can wait in the car or the coffee shop next door and come back when they are called.
Will the TV look like my shop?
Yes. It wears your logo, colors and fonts, and it is built to read from the far chair.
What does the TV display cost?
Nothing extra: the line, TV and kiosk are included on every plan, Free included.
Start with the tablet and phones you have
Add a streaming stick or a TV app when you want the big screen. The line does not change.
