Watch the demo firstGuests scan a QR code, order and pay from their phone, and pick up when their number lights up on the screen. Your bartenders stay ahead, your guests stop shoving, and you see every sale as it happens.
Now signing pilot venues in DC, Maryland and Virginia.
Guests wait three deep at the bar. Some give up and stop ordering for the night.
Bartenders juggle shouting, cards and drinks at the same time. Mistakes and slow tickets follow.
Owners find out how the night went after it's over, when it's too late to add staff or restock.
QR codes on tables, walls and the bar open your menu in the browser. No app download and no account.
Apple Pay, Google Pay or card, with a tip. Pay per round or open a tab. It takes under 30 seconds.
Guests get a ticket number on their phone and by text. A TV at the bar shows what's being made.
When their number turns green, guests show their code and ID and grab their drinks.
We only build for nightclubs, so every feature is about a crowded bar after 11 PM.
We place a hold on the guest's card. Go over the limit and a new hold is placed. Idle tabs close after an hour.
Every order has a pickup code. Staff match the code and check ID before handing over drinks.
Bar falling behind? Pause phone orders for a few minutes. Guests see an honest wait time.
Beers, shots and cans skip the cocktail queue and go straight to pickup.
Runs next to the register you already use. Square first, with Clover and Toast to follow.
The ordering page is small and fast, and works on your guest Wi-Fi.
Click through the guest's phone, the bar tablet, the pickup screen and the owner's dashboard. Press Play for a guided tour. It runs on sample data.
We're choosing a small group of DMV clubs to run NextRound first. You get hands-on help from the founders and a say in what we build next.
We meet your team. We load your menu, learn your bar layout and talk to your bartenders first.
We install everything. QR codes, the pickup TV and bar tablets, connected to your payments.
We're on site. We train your staff and stay through the night to fix anything fast.
You see the numbers. Wait times, sales and tips compared with a normal night.
No. They scan a QR code and the menu opens in their phone's browser. There's no account to create.
Orders arrive already paid, with tips built into checkout. Bartenders see the night's tip total live, and it's split fairly at close. We talk to your staff before we launch.
No. NextRound works next to your current system. We start with Square and are adding Clover and Toast.
Staff can pause phone orders with one tap, and guests see an honest wait time. Popular cocktails are grouped so they can be made in batches.
Tabs use a hold on the guest's card through our payment provider. Every order is recorded with a time and pickup code, which helps you answer disputes.
A small per-order fee on phone orders. We'll walk through pricing for your venue when we meet.
