Wait time display for the screen on your lobby wall
LineMarshal turns any TV in your waiting room into a live wait time display. The now-serving number and the current estimate stay on screen and refresh on their own, so the whole room can see where the line stands without asking the front desk.
No credit card. Live in under five minutes.
A wait time display does one job well: it answers the question everyone in the room is already thinking. Open the LineMarshal display view in a browser on any TV or spare tablet, cast it to the screen in your lobby, and it shows the number now being served alongside the live estimated wait. There is no media player to mount and no signage box to license. If the screen has a browser or a stick you can plug in, it is a wait time display board.
The board is driven by the same queue your staff already run, so it never drifts out of sync with reality. When the front desk calls the next person, the now-serving number on the wall changes within seconds. When the line grows or shrinks, the posted estimate moves with it. Customers stop crowding the counter to ask how much longer, because the answer is up on the screen where they can read it from their seat.
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
What do I need to put a wait time display on my lobby TV?
A screen with a web browser, or a TV with a casting stick or HDMI computer you can point at a browser. Open the LineMarshal display view, put it full screen on that TV, and you have a live wait time board. There is no proprietary signage hardware to buy.
How often does the display update?
In real time. The board listens to the same live queue your staff manage, so when someone is called the now-serving number changes within seconds and the posted estimate adjusts as the line moves. Nobody has to refresh it by hand.
What does the wait time display actually show?
The number currently being served and the live estimated wait, in large type meant to be read across a room. It mirrors the active queue, so the people sitting in your lobby see the same status their own phones show.
Do customers still join from their phones if I have a display on the wall?
Yes. The wall display and the phone work together. Customers scan the QR code to join and get an SMS when their turn is near, while the lobby screen gives the whole room a shared view of who is up next.
