Running the live queue

The four buttons you press all day, and the three you press occasionally.

The everyday four

Serve Next

Takes the person at the top of the queue and marks them as being served. Their screen turns green and they are notified it is their turn.

Complete

Marks the customer you are serving as finished. They leave the queue and are counted as served in your analytics.

Skip

For someone who is not there yet. Pushes them down the queue and adds a short delay rather than removing them outright.

No-show / Remove

Takes someone out of the queue immediately. Recorded as a no-show, which feeds your show rate.

Skip twice and they are gone

The first skip moves a customer down and gives them a grace period to appear. The second skip removes them as a no-show. This is deliberate, so someone who has genuinely left does not hold up the line forever, but it does mean a double-tap is not harmless.

The occasional three

Move up / down

Reorders one customer by a single position. Use it when someone should be seen sooner without rebuilding the whole queue.

Open / close queue

Stops new people joining. Everyone already waiting stays in the queue, so you can close the door and still work through the room.

Clear queue

Empties the queue in one action. Intended for the end of the day. It cannot be undone.

What each status means

Queue statuses

  • Waiting

    In line, not yet called. This is where everyone starts.
  • Serving

    Currently with you. Set by Serve Next. The customer sees a green screen.
  • Completed

    Finished and served. This is the status your analytics counts as a served customer.
  • No-show

    Called but never appeared, or removed by you. Counts against your show rate.
  • Skipped

    Passed over once and moved down. Still in the queue.
  • Cancelled

    The customer left the queue themselves from their own phone.

Running behind? Do not clear the queue

Clearing is permanent and tells your customers nothing. Add a delay instead — everyone waiting sees their estimate move and understands why. See delays and busy blocks.
