# How Do I Choose a Ticket Dispenser and Counter Display for a Queue System?

The ticket point, the display and the call keypad are three parts of one system. Choose them together.

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:**

- Ticket point, counter keypad, display, controller: four parts.
- List services and counters first.
- Wired is reliable; wireless is easier to fit.

Quick answer

A queue system has a ticket point (a button dispenser or touch kiosk), a call keypad at each counter, one or more displays and a controller or software that links them. Decide how many services, how many counters, whether you need wired or wireless, English and Swahili voice, and whether you need reports. A small single-queue setup is much simpler than a multi-service system. Quotes follow from those answers.

## Frequently asked questions

Do I need a kiosk or a simple dispenser?

A kiosk handles several services and priority; a simple dispenser suits a single queue.

What if I need to add counters later?

Choose a system that can add keypads; ask about the limit.

Can the display also show adverts?

Many displays can show notices and videos between calls; ask in your brief.
