QUEUEDROP FOR CUSTOMERS

Wait for your turn anywhere but the waiting room.

Scan the code at the counter and you have a place in line and a live estimate on your own phone. Then go do something else until it’s nearly your turn.

THE OLD WAY

Every queue asks you for the same thing: sit here and don't move.

You can't plan around a wait nobody will put a number on, so you give up the hour whether the wait needs it or not. That is the part QueueDrop removes.

01
You wait in the room
Twenty minutes in a plastic chair because nobody can tell you whether it's twenty minutes or an hour.
02
You carry the buzzer
A pager keeps you inside the shop, so you wait where you were told to rather than where you'd rather be.
03
You hand over your number
A text-message queue wants your phone number before it will hold your place, and keeps it afterwards.
HOW IT WORKS

Four steps, and you never leave your browser.

From scanning the code to walking back in, this is the whole of it.

01
Scan and join
Point your camera at the QR code on the counter, pick what you're in for, and you're in line. It opens in your browser.
02
Watch the wait
Your position and a live estimate update by themselves as the shop works through the queue. No refreshing, no asking.
03
Go somewhere better
Get a coffee, run the errand, sit in the car. Your place in line holds while you're gone.
04
Head back when called
The page tells you when you're up. Walk in, tell the counter you're there, and you're next.
WHAT IT COSTS YOU

Nothing, which is the point.

Queue apps normally trade your place in line for something. This one doesn't ask.

NOTHING TO INSTALL
It's a web page
No app store, no download, no update to sit through. The link works on whatever phone you already have.
NOTHING TO SIGN UP FOR
No account, ever
You don't make a password and you don't get an email later. The ticket lives in your browser and expires with the queue.
NOTHING TO PAY
Free for you
Businesses run QueueDrop. Joining a queue never costs you anything and there is nowhere to enter a card.
BEFORE YOU JOIN

The things people ask at the counter.

Do you need my phone number?
No. QueueDrop never asks for a phone number, an email address or a name beyond the first name the counter sees. There's no field to type one into.
What if I close the tab?
Open the link again and your ticket is still there. It's held in your own browser, so keep the tab or bookmark the page and you're fine.
What if I'm not back in time?
Most shops give you about ten minutes of grace after you're called. If you're running late, tell the counter — staff can hold your place or move you down the line rather than dropping you.
Can I join before I get there?
If the business allows remote joining, yes — open their link from home and set off when the estimate says to. Otherwise you scan the code at the counter.
