How it works

  1. Put up your QR code

    Print the QR poster for your line and place it where people wait.

  2. Guests scan and join

    They point their phone camera at the code and join the line in the browser. No app to download.

  3. They watch their place live

    Each guest gets a private phone page that shows their place in line as it moves, so they are free to step away.

  4. Staff tap Next

    From any phone, tablet or computer with a browser, staff call the next person with one tap.

  5. The TV board shows who is up

    Put a "Now serving" board on any screen with a browser so everyone in the room can see the current number.

  6. We text them when it is their turnComing at launch

    Guests who opt in get a text when they are called, paid for from your prepaid text credits.
