For bars, barbers, chip shops, clinics
Walk-in waitlist that actually behaves.
Customers add themselves to the queue from their phone. You see who's next. No one loses their spot.
If your business runs on walk-ins, you already have a queue — it's just invisible. Someone stands at the bar, someone else hovers near the door, a third person isn't sure whether they should say something or wait. The List replaces that confusion with a scannable QR and a visible, ordered list. Customers tap in their name (and their phone number if you want to text them), and they know exactly where they are.
It's designed for the obvious cases — fish-and-chip shops at peak, busy barbers, walk-in clinics, bars with limited tables, food trucks at festivals — but it works anywhere an ordered queue matters. Party size captures "how many people am I seating?" for restaurants; phone numbers let you text when a chair opens up for a barber.
No one needs to install anything. There's no account, no email capture, no app store. Your customer scans, types their name, and gets a position number. That's the whole interaction. You see the list live on any device, call the top name when you're ready, and they come forward. Two-day data retention means you're never managing anyone's personal data long-term.
The List is free forever for hosts. Print the QR once and stick it at the door, on the counter, or on a sandwich board. If you're busy every Friday, use a Series: the QR stays the same every week, each session spins up a fresh queue.

Questions hosts ask
Does this work for restaurants or bars?+
Yes. Ask for party size as an extra field and you've got a waitlist for anywhere with limited tables. Pizza spots, ramen bars, brunch places — anywhere customers would otherwise stand around.
Can I text customers when they're up?+
Phone numbers are captured at signup so you can text them from your own phone. We don't send the texts automatically — you keep control of how you contact them.
What about slow periods when the queue is empty?+
Nothing happens — the page just shows an empty queue and invites the next walk-in to add themselves. There's no penalty for having the QR up all day.
Can I reorder the queue?+
Yes. Drag customers up or down. Regulars, priority bookings, or accessibility needs can jump the queue with a single drag.
How long is the customer's data kept?+
Names and phone numbers are deleted 48 hours after the queue's last activity. We never email customers. We never sell data. The List is a live tool, not a CRM.
