Who it’s for · Ski rentals

Walk-ins for ski rentals. The 8 a.m. rush, handled.

The walk-in waitlist and check-in app for ski and snowboard rental shops. Skiers scan your sign, pick a ski rental, a snowboard, a kids’ package or a boot fitting, and get a smart pass with their place and a real wait. They grab breakfast instead of packing the shop. No texts to pay for.

Powder Peak Ski & Board, a rental shop at the base of a ski resort
Powder Peak Ski & Board is our demo rental shop, set up in Next. Every screen on this page is real.

How Powder Peak Ski & Board runs its walk-ins

A powder morning. Five techs, every bench working.

1

They pick what they need.

The sign at the door has one QR code. Skiers scan it and pick Ski Rental, Snowboard Rental, Kids Package, Boot Fitting or Demo Skis. Each one shows its own real wait.

A family’s kids’ packages and a quick boot fit never share one guess, so your counter stops answering “how long?” at 8 a.m.

After scanning: pick Ski Rental, Snowboard Rental, Kids Package, Boot Fitting or Demo Skis, each with a wait

They grab breakfast.

The smart pass shows their place and a real wait, and it updates on its own. Skiers get coffee and breakfast or finish gearing up instead of standing in a crowded shop.

When a tech is ready, the pass turns green and says so. It works in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, and in ten languages for visitors from everywhere.

You tap Notify when a bench opens.

The counter sees everyone waiting, what they need and how long they’ve waited. Tap Notify and their pass calls them to a fitting bench. Tap Serving when the fitting starts and Done when they walk out with their gear.

Techs mark themselves Here, On break or Off, and the waits follow.

The money

Texting walk-ins costs too much. So we don’t.

A busy rental shop sees 150 walk-ins on a weekend morning. A texting app sends each one about three texts. At 3¢ a text, 26 days a month, that’s the bill before the app’s own plan. Next sends no texts: the smart pass does that job, with nothing per message and no number to give.

Built for how rental shops work

Everything a rental shop needs. Nothing it doesn’t.

The morning rush, handled

Everyone who walks in at 8 a.m. gets a place and a real wait, without a crowd at the counter.

Families and kids’ packages

Kids’ packages carry their own minutes, so parents know what to expect.

Visitors from everywhere

Each skier sees the pass in their own language, from Spanish and Japanese to German and French.

No number to give

Visitors never type a number to join. The smart pass does the job a text used to.
