Queue Management

A line at the door is a good sign — as long as no one walks away. Queue holds their place and texts them when it's their turn.

Queue Management

Turn a crowd at the door into a smooth, walk-away wait. Guests scan a QR code to join the queue from their phone, see how many parties are ahead of them, and get a text when their table is ready — so they can grab a drink or wait outside instead of crowding your entrance. Your team runs the whole line from one place, and a wall display keeps the room in the loop.

What you get

Join by QR — no app, no clipboard

Guests scan a QR code and add themselves to the line in seconds, then wait wherever they like. No paper list, no app to download.

Texted when it's their turn

An automatic text tells guests when their table is ready, with a link to confirm they're on their way or pass. A grace period handles no-shows for you.

Run the whole line from one place

See every area's line in real time. Call up, seat, return, or remove parties — and reorder the queue by drag-and-drop when plans change.

A wall display for the room

Put the queue on a screen in your venue — now-seating codes and table names in your own branding, so guests can watch the line themselves.

See it in action

Getting started takes just minutes. Here's how it works.

  • Guests scan a QR code at the door and join the queue from their phone — name, party size, done
  • They get a text confirming their spot and can see how many parties are ahead of them
  • When a table frees up, call them up with one tap — they get a 'table ready' text with a confirm link
  • Seat them straight from the queue, or send them back in line — no shouting names across the room
