Online Queue & Booking

Guests take a queue number or book a time from a QR code, you call them from one board, and a screen in the shop shows who's next

A queue system for any business where people wait: restaurants, hair salons, clinics and studios. Run a walk-in line (first come, first served) or let customers book a date and time. Guests scan a QR code or tap a link from LINE or Facebook and get in line right away, with no app and no sign-up, then follow their place and check in from their phone. Staff call the next guest from a live board, a TV screen in the shop announces numbers out loud in Thai, and owners set up their own services, staff, tables, rooms and opening hours.

Built for: Restaurants · Clinics · Hair salons and spas

Key features

Walk-in numbers or booked times

Each queue is either a walk-in line or a booking calendar where guests pick a service, date and time. One shop can run several queues that work differently.

No app for your guests

Scan the QR code or tap the link, enter a phone number and you're in line. Each guest gets a link to their own ticket to check status, check in or cancel from any device.

A live board for calling guests

See who's waiting, called and being served on one screen. Call the next guest in one tap: guests who haven't arrived are skipped, and a free table is assigned at the moment of calling.

A calling screen that speaks

Open it on a TV or tablet and pair it with a 6-digit code. It shows the number being called and who's next, announces numbers in Thai, and lets you pick the layout, colour theme and scrolling message. The screen only shows numbers, never names or phone numbers.

Open times worked out for you

Bookable times come from each service's length and clean-up time, the shop's hours and each staff member's own hours, so two bookings never collide.

Set up your shop yourself

Add services and prices, staff, tables and rooms, choose who can do which service, and set weekly hours and holidays. Start from a template for a barber, restaurant, clinic or class.

Connects to your other systems

API keys and webhooks connect it to your POS or other software, and one account can run several locations.

Questions about this product

Do guests need an app or an account?

No. Guests scan the QR code or tap the link, enter a phone number and get in line in their phone's browser.

What kinds of business is it for?

Any business where people wait, such as restaurants, barbers and salons, clinics, spas and classes. The difference is in the settings, not a different system.

What if a guest isn't there when called?

Guests who haven't checked in are skipped and the next one is called. After the number of skips you set, the booking is marked as a no-show.

What do I need for the calling screen?

Any smart TV with a browser, a tablet or a computer with a screen. Open the display page and enter the 6-digit code it shows in your shop settings.

Does it take payments?

No. Service prices are shown to guests for information only; you take payment the way you do today.
