Congestion around the restroom door. Restroom line that happens at bars, restaurants and cafes.

Eliminate Restroom Congestion on Your Busiest Nights


Traffic at the restrooms can negatively impact guest experience. Instead of drinking with friends and ordering more, they’re stuck awkwardly waiting at the door.

This is an issue we’ve come to accept, as there’s been no solution to addressed it.

The Heads Up Lock Solution

Heads Up Lock restroom occupancy indicator light at a cafe. Gender neutral restroom sign.

When guests can instantly see if a restroom is available without having to check the door:

  • They stay and enjoy their drinks, mingling with friends and ordering more.

  • Some may go when the light is red, but many won’t. This will reduce congestion around the restroom door.

  • They’ll find comfort in knowing once they make the walk, they won’t have to awkwardly wait.

  • They appreciate the attention you give to their comfort while they visit. Word of mouth becomes inevitable.

“We are VERY happy. It’s a conversation piece inside our coffee shop and perfect for what we are doing.” - Duane Mckee | Second Alarm Brewhouse
