What is a QR code queue system?
A QR code queue system is a virtual queue where customers join by scanning a QR code with their phone camera. They get a ticket and live position, and receive a notification when it is their turn. See QR code queue management.
How QR queue systems work
Print or display a QR code. A customer scans it, fills a short form, and joins the queue. Staff call the next customer from a dashboard; the customer gets a turn notification. Read creating QR queue systems.
QR codes vs paper waiting lists
Paper lists are lost, illegible, and require customers to stand by. QR codes give a live position, let customers wait anywhere, and produce clean data. Compare QR codes vs paper waiting lists.

Frequently asked questions
Do customers need an app to scan a QR queue code?+
No. The phone's built-in camera opens the join page in the browser. No app download is required.
Can I print the QR code myself?+
Yes. Generate the QR code in the dashboard and print it on anything—a poster, table tent, window sticker or receipt.
Do QR code queues work offline?+
The customer needs a data connection to join and receive notifications, but staff can still manage the queue from a connected device.
