Modern check-in for walk-in shops — QR code, TV display, or kiosk. Your choice. UpNext is the walk-in queue manager built specifically for barbershops. It does NOT replace Square, Booksy, or any booking app you already use. Keep your scheduling tool. UpNext handles the walk-ins. WHO IT'S FOR - Barbershops with walk-in traffic - Multi-chair shops where the front desk gets buried during peak hours - Owners who want their appointment-only barbers to fill dead chair time without changing booking platforms THE GO LIVE TOGGLE The feature shops talk about most. Appointment-only barbers can flip themselves Go Live during slow periods, appear on the kiosk, take walk-ins, and toggle off when their next booking comes in. Dead chair time becomes revenue.
