New app allows customers to skip Neon Cactus line

Patrons at Neon Cactus can now use a new app to pay for cover fees and skip the line entirely.
LineLeap is an app that markets the ability to, “skip the line, order drinks, purchase event tickets & much more at your favorite bars,” according to their website.
Since Friday, Neon Cactus has allowed patrons to use the app.
“Neon cactus is known for obviously our really long lines and I think that having them and being able to get people in the door quicker (will) be really awesome.”, said Kaylee Whitus, general manager for Neon Cactus.
Plans are set to allow patrons to pay for drinks through the app as well.
“Everything we do is centered around, getting our customers to the fun and doing it in a faster fashion,” said Max Schauff, owner and founder of LineLeap. “For the venues themselves, it’s to drive incremental revenue and how to add new revenue streams to their business model.”
Patrons can use LineSkip to skip the line before others, but it does not guarantee immediate entry.
“We work with the bar on that and their staff and we try to always make sure it's as expedited as it can be … But for the most part, that line skip is going to get you in much faster than waiting the normal line,” Schauff said.
Schauff said that a LineSkip is usually $20, but the price can vary.
“(If) Purdue basketball makes it to the Final Four, knock on wood, the price could go up on that, but it usually starts at about $20 … includes cover as well,” Schauff said on Friday, before Purdue beat Tennessee to make it to the Final Four.
Schauff, alongside co-founders Nick Becker and Patrick Skelly, started the company after turning 21 and realizing how busy bars can get.
“There had to be a better way to just streamline the entire process and get cash out of the hands of the wrong people and get it to the owners and have it distributed properly,” Schauff said.
Today, there are 400 bars across 95 campuses and cities that use LineLeap, Schauff said.
