# My Customers Crowd the Counter and Walk Out. How Do I Manage the Queue?

Customers who cannot tell who is next walk out. A ticket and a number display keeps them in the shop.

Who can open which door in your building today, and how would you know?

Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that.

**In this guide you will see:**

- Ticket plus counter display beats standing in line.
- Customers shop while they wait.
- Use it at pharmacy, deli, customer service and repair desks.

Quick answer

For smaller shops the answer is simple: a ticket dispenser or a roll of numbered tickets, a counter display that shows the next number, and a clear rule for who goes first. Use it at the pharmacy counter, the deli, customer service, the cashier for lay-bys or the repair desk. The system lets customers shop while they wait instead of standing in line, which helps sales.

### If you wait

- A leaver who still holds access
- No record of who entered the store room

### What you get

- Cards, fingerprints or faces set by door and by hour
- Remove a person in one click
- A log of every entry

## Key takeaways

- Ticket plus counter display beats standing in line.
- Customers shop while they wait.
- Use it at pharmacy, deli, customer service and repair desks.
- Start simple; add paging or reports later.

## What to look for before you buy

1. **Pick the counters**: Where do queues form?
2. **Choose ticket and display**: A dispenser and a counter display; wireless if running cable is hard.
3. **Place the signs**: Tell customers to take a number and where to wait.
4. **Train staff**: Call numbers in order and use the priority button sparingly.
5. **Check the numbers**: Watch peak times and add a counter if waits grow.
6. **Request a quote**: We recommend equipment after a short brief.

## Frequently asked questions

Is a full system overkill for a small shop?

Not if a counter is regularly crowded. A basic ticket and display set is far smaller than a bank system.

Can I use wireless units?

Yes. Wireless call buttons and displays avoid running cable across a shop.

Does it take a lot of staff training?

Little. Staff press a button to call the next number.

Do you stock these?

We quote queue equipment per site; contact us with your counters and we recommend a set.
