Ticket, wait, call, serve, report: the five steps of any queue system. The person who left last month may still be able to walk in. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - One ticket per customer, routed to the right service. - The next number is shown and announced. - Staff can recall, transfer or end a ticket. Quick answer Every queue system follows the same flow: the customer chooses a service and gets a numbered ticket; the system places the ticket in that service queue by priority; a staff member presses call and the next number appears on the display and is announced; the customer is served; and the ticket closes. Each step is timed, so managers see how long people wait and how long each service takes.
