queue1
queue1 manages queues for restaurants, clinics, salons and other walk-in venues. Staff use queue1 Controller to issue tickets, call the next ticket and update the “Now serving” display. Venues can keep multiple queues for different party sizes or service types. Guests can scan a QR code or open a private ticket link in a browser to follow progress without installing an app; notifications are available where supported, and the Growth plan adds push notifications. The site says ticket pages use unique, hard-to-guess links and production traffic is protected with HTTPS/TLS. Queue state is saved for recovery after interruptions, but normal operation on venue Wi-Fi requires an active internet connection. The free Demo is limited to 100 tickets and uses two Android devices, one for Display and one for Controller. A screen of 10 inches or larger is recommended for the guest-facing Display. Growth costs A$50 a month and includes live queue sync, monthly queue reports and priority support. Enterprise pricing is custom.
