The take a number system, now an app on every phone
LineMarshal is the take a number system without the ticket roll. Customers scan a QR code to take their place, watch their number move on their phone, and get a text when they are up, while a lobby screen shows who is being served.
No credit card. Live in under five minutes.
The take a number machine had one good idea, a fair order, wrapped in a lot of friction: the paper, the squinting at the wall display, the being trapped near the counter. LineMarshal keeps the fair order and removes every bit of the friction.
Customers take their number with a scan and carry it on their phone, so they can wait anywhere and still see their place. A get ready text brings them back at the right moment, and the lobby TV shows the current number for anyone watching the room.
How it works
Scan in. Text through. Dashboard in control.
Scan to join
Customers point their phone camera at a printed QR stand and they are in line. No app to download, no account to create, no kiosk to buy or maintain.
Texted when ready
A heads up text lands as their turn approaches, then a final alert says come back. People wait in the car, run an errand, or grab a coffee instead of crowding your lobby.
Run it from any browser
Staff watch the live queue, call the next person, and reorder on the fly. A lobby TV shows positions so the room stays calm and nobody asks how much longer.
See the whole day on one calendar
On the Max plan, every provider gets a live day calendar. Block out lunches, meetings, and booked appointments, and walk-ins drop into the open gaps automatically. The wait times you show customers count those gaps, so the number on the screen always matches the room.
- A day timeline for every provider, doctor, stylist, or technician
- Block out lunches, meetings, and booked appointments in two taps
- Walk-ins drop onto the calendar automatically, flowing around each block
- Wait times update live and count the real gaps, so the number on the screen matches the room

Frequently asked questions
How is this better than a ticket machine?
It keeps the fair order but lets people wait anywhere, see their live position, and get texted when it is time. There is no paper, no roll to replace, and no machine to repair.
Can I still show a number on a screen?
Yes. The lobby TV display shows current positions and who is being served, so you keep the familiar public number board with no extra hardware.
What replaces the printed ticket?
The ticket lives on the customer phone after they scan, complete with their position and estimated wait, and it updates automatically as the line moves.
