About NextUp! Digital QR Waitlist
NextUp! puts your restaurant's waitlist on a single QR code. Print one. Place it at your door. Your guests scan, enter their name, and join the line from their own phone — no app to download, no login required. You see the queue in real time. One tap calls the next guest. It takes the place of paper lists, buzzers, and pagers — without changing how your restaurant runs. HOW IT WORKS • Print your QR code and post it at the entrance. • Guests scan, enter their name and party size, and they're in line. • You see the queue update in real time. One tap calls the next guest. • They get a notification the moment it's their turn. NOT JUST FOR RESTAURANTS • Trade paper lists, buzzers, and pagers for a single phone. • Guests can wait anywhere — in their car, at the bar, down the block. • Real-time wait times so you always know how service is performing. • Walk-ins and reservations live side by side. WHATSAPP In markets where everyone uses WhatsApp, your guests can join your queue right from a chat. They message your number, a bot collects their info, and they're notified when called. SMS A text goes out the moment a guest's turn comes up. No app, no friction — works on every phone. ANALYTICS A calendar heatmap shows your busiest hours at a glance. Track average wait times, no-show rates, and where your guests came from. Staff your restaurant on data, not guesswork. FREE TO START 30 entries a day, free forever. Upgrade when you outgrow it to remove the daily limit and unlock multiple queues, analytics, WhatsApp, and SMS. No credit card. Set up in under three minutes. NextUp! works for restaurants, cafés, barbershops, clinics, and any business that manages a line.
