Keep your walk-in business moving hustling running evolving

Your business is built different, so you need something that's all about walk-ins, not appointments.

Your ultimate dream-team, the Walk-In Manager integrates seamlessly with Self Check-In and the Wallboard, working together as one super connected team designed to streamline and supercharge your walk-in management process.

Organise walk-ins with the Walk-in Manager

The Walk-In Manager compiles a waitlist of your walk-in guests, estimates wait times, lets you know how long clients have been waiting in the queue, and tracks how long they’ve been in-service for. With this nifty feature, Shortcuts can automatically assign your walk-in guest to the next available service person, or they can request a specific staff member to be assigned to. The Walk-In Manager will recalculate the wait times around employee’s clocking on and off so your guests aren’t left in the dark.

Guests can check themselves in

Your walk-ins can handle their own check-in experience so your staff can focus on the clients sitting in their chair, thanks to Shortcuts Self Check-In feature. Your clients can add themselves to the waitlist using the tablet in your waiting area, or straight from their mobile phone via the Mobile Guest App. When clients check in remotely via your app or website, you can send them a text message telling them their service time, guaranteeing they will be waiting when you are ready. A guest can also delay their visit if they want to be on the waitlist but aren’t ready to be seen straight away. The Walk-In Manager will recalculate accordingly.

Display wait times so your guests can chill in queue

Once your walk-in has checked themselves in, it’s time to keep them in know with the expected wait time. The real-time integrated Wallboard, powered by the Walk-In Manager, shows details of people currently in the queue, so clients have up-to-the-minute information about how long they can expect to wait for their assigned team member.

As a walk-in based business at Barber Boys, the self check-in and walk-in management system through Shortcuts has been a blessing in disguise. When a client comes in, they check themselves in by punching in their details on iPads and go on a waiting list on the board. There's no stress for the client about where they are in line or who's next. And it takes a lot of stress off my staff as well to just look up, see who the client is, and then pass them through.
