A Hobart nail salon lives on walk-in trade — and loses it the moment the wait feels uncertain. During the pre-weekend mani-pedi rush, clients hover by the door unsure how long the wait is, then leave. NowServing is the live wait-time display for nail salons: it shows your real wait, lets someone in for a gel mani or a pedicure join the line from their phone, and buzzes them the moment it's their turn. In Hobart's compact centre, a client who leaves your queue is at your competitor in two minutes flat.
Start free →See the live demoA QR on your door or a link in your bio opens your live wait — no app, no account.
Name in, and they see their spot and an honest ETA built from your real nail tech times.
A "you're up" ping (plus a ~15-min heads-up) brings them back the moment you're ready.
Clients see a real wait built from your actual service times, not a rough guess.
They browse nearby and come back when buzzed — no one crowding the drying station.
Each finished set auto-asks for a Google review while they still love their nails.
The reason nail salons stick with it: on any paid plan, the customer's phone gets an automatic "you're up" buzz the second it's their turn, plus a "~15 minutes to go" heads-up. It's free web-push — no SMS, no per-text cost, and no app to download — and it works on Android and iPhone. That's what turns a glance-and-leave into a come-back-and-buy.
Does it work for a small Hobart nail salon?
Yes — one nail tech or six, it's the same one-line setup. Most shops are live the same afternoon.
Do my clients need an app?
No. It's a web link they open from your QR, bio or website. Nothing to install, for you or them.
What does it cost?
Free to start (live wait + review link). The Regular — which adds the auto-notify and review engine — is from $49/mo billed yearly (2 months free), or $59 monthly. Cancel anytime.
