What do your customers think while they wait? Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Voice and screen should always agree. - English and Swahili suit most Kenyan sites. - Speaker placement matters more than volume. Quick answer Queue systems announce each ticket number and counter through speakers, and many support more than one language. In Kenya, English and Swahili calling helps customers of all backgrounds follow the queue. Good results depend on voice quality, speaker placement, volume matched to the room's noise and a screen that shows the same information.
