Getting Started

WhosOnNext gives your pub a digital queue for the pool table - players scan a QR code, pop themselves on the list, and get notified when it's their turn. No more chalk marks on the wall or shouted arguments about whose go it is.

After you sign up, you'll get a welcome email with your venue's QR code and a link to your table manager - that's where you print QR codes, add extra tables, and manage your subscription. Keep the admin passkey from that email safe; staff need it to get in.

Tables & Queues

Your table manager lives at a link like whosonnext.uk/pubs/your-pub/tables - it's in your welcome email. Enter your passkey to unlock it.

From there you can print a QR code for each table you run. Table 1 shares its link with your original sign-up QR, so anything you've already stuck up still works. Add more tables any time from the same screen, and print new codes to match.

Players scan the code, join the queue, and see their position update live - no app download needed on their end.

Billing

New venues start on a free trial. Once the trial ends, billing switches to your ongoing plan automatically and renews each month unless you cancel first.

All payments are handled securely by Stripe - your card details are never seen or stored on our own servers. Stripe emails you a receipt automatically after every charge, so you've always got a record for your accounts.

If your subscription lapses or is cancelled, your venue's queue pages and table manager stop working for staff and players until you resubscribe.

Need to update your card or have a billing question? There's no self-serve portal for that yet - just get in touch and we'll sort it directly.

How to Cancel

You're always free to cancel - no calls, no forms. It's done from your table manager:

  1. Open your table manager link (from your welcome email) and unlock it with your passkey.
  2. Tap the Settings button in the top-right of the header.
  3. Tap Cancel subscription, then confirm by re-entering your passkey.
  4. You'll see a confirmation on screen, and we'll email you the details too.
What happens after you cancel: no further charges are taken, and your venue keeps full access until the end of the current billing period. After that date, the queue and table manager stop working for staff and players.

Changed your mind before that date? Just reply to the cancellation confirmation email and we'll switch you back on - no need to sign up again.

FAQ

I lost my admin passkey - what now?
Get in touch via the contact page with your pub name and we'll help you recover access.
Can I run more than one pool table?
Yes - add tables from your table manager and print a QR code for each one. Every table gets its own queue.
Do players need to download an app?
No. Scanning the QR code opens a page in their phone's browser - that's the whole experience.
If I cancel, do I get a refund for the current period?
Cancelling stops future billing, and your venue keeps access through the period you've already paid for. If you think you've been charged in error, contact us and we'll take a look.
Is my venue's data secure?
Yes - payments are processed by Stripe and never touch our servers, and your data is stored behind access controls with a trusted infrastructure provider. See Legal & Privacy for the full picture.
Do you sell or share my data?
No. We only share data with the handful of providers needed to run the service itself - never for advertising or resale.
