For beauty and nail salons
A free chair, and a phone that says so.
Walk-ins scan a code at the door and wait wherever they like — the café, the shops, the car. Their phone tells them when a chair is free. And the regulars get a card that rewards every visit.
The front of the salon
Walk-ins and regulars, sharing one small room.
- Walk-ins hover by the door, unsure how long, and some leave before you’re free.
- “How long will you be?” is asked while you are in the middle of a treatment.
- Clients try somewhere new, and nothing reminds them to come back to you.
The first two are a waiting problem. The third is a remembering problem.
Scan, choose, wait anywhere.
A code at the door opens a page in their browser. They choose the treatment, take a number and head off until it’s time.
