Some challenges are seemingly universal in just about every industry that has customers, patients, or clients. One such challenge is managing queues in waiting rooms and similar venues. Now more than ever, businesses are working hard to keep wait times down and prevent groups of people from gathering in the same place. One of the most effective options for mitigating this challenge is with queue management software, and we’re going to tell you more about it today.

What is Queue Management Software?

Most of us have used queue management software at some point. For example, many restaurants utilize this software to keep their entrances clear of patrons waiting for a table. 

It allows patrons, guests, patients, or customers to join a virtual line rather than physically getting in line.

There are all kinds of benefits of this, including reducing crowds, streamlining processes, and incredible convenience for businesses and patrons alike. In addition to elevating the customer experience, it also comes with the added advantage of improving online reviews and optimizing service delivery—things every business can benefit from. 

How does it work?

Now, let’s look at exactly how queue management software works:

  • Your customers join your line using their mobile device, an on-site kiosk or clicking a button on your website.
  • Then, they get a text to let them know their place in line and estimated wait time. This text also contains a link to a status page they can view on a mobile browser that lets them track their progress.
  • When it’s their turn for service, they receive a final text letting them know exactly where to go for assistance.
