Live talent at your event, without the line.

Our example: a tattoo night

One guest, one tattoo, start to finish

Sample A made-up night at a made-up bar. Every name and number is invented, and nothing on this page sends anything.

1. 1

   She signs up and joins the waitlist

   Maya scans the QR at the tattoo station, picks a design and keeps her place. No line to stand in.

   Sample

   Northside Tattoo · free flash

   You're on: 4thAbout 25 minutes. We'll text you.

   3. Sam W.Picks at the chair
   4. Maya R.Swallow · just joined

2. 2

   The artists work the queue

   Each artist sees who's in the chair and who's next, and calls the next guest with one tap.

   Sample

   Northside Tattoo You're 2ndYou're next Head toward the station. We'll text you when your artist is ready.

3. 3

   She gets a text when it's her turn

   A heads-up when she's nearly up, and another when her artist is ready. She enjoys the party until then.

Texts go out from your own texting number once it's set up, and only to guests who say yes. Tattoos are our example. Any talent with a line works the same way: a barber's chair, a nail bar, a portrait artist.
