How Do I Manage Queues and Waiting Time at a Mall Customer Care Desk or Shared Service Centre?
Quick answer

Customer care, lost property, parking and tenant desks attract uneven crowds. A queue management system gives every customer a numbered ticket by service, shows and announces who is next at each counter, and records waiting and service times so managers can staff correctly.
