Free browser notifications
Visitors can choose to be notified when it is their turn. Included with free service queues.
Queue system for pharmacy service counters
Make the wait at the pharmacy counter easier to follow with a numbered service queue. Keep the public display focused on whose turn it is.
Where waiting gets complicated
Visitors collecting an item and visitors needing a longer conversation can arrive together. An unclear line near the counter adds interruptions to individual service.
Service queue
How the workflow works
Customers join by QR code or link, follow their place on their phone, and staff call one customer at a time.
- Create a service queue and place its QR code or link where customers arrive.
- Customers take a digital ticket and follow their place and estimated wait on their phone.
- Staff advance the queue as they are ready. Show the current number on a shared screen.
A practical example
A visitor scans the counter QR code and receives a queue number. They follow their place on their phone while staff finish the current conversation, then approach when called. Prescription handling remains in the pharmacy’s existing system.

Questions before you start
Does Linelemon manage prescriptions or patient records?
No. It manages the waiting order at the counter. Prescription information, clinical decisions and patient records remain outside Linelemon in your established pharmacy systems.
Can this run alongside our booking or checkout system?
Yes, as a separate queue for people waiting for service. Your existing system still handles bookings, payments and customer records. Staff manage the queue in Linelemon; it does not automatically synchronize with those systems.
What equipment and connection do we need?
Use an internet-connected phone, tablet or computer for staff, and a browser on a screen for the display. Customers do not need to install an app to join a queue or view the board. Keep the internet connection available during service.
What is free, and when do we need Pro?
Yes. Service queues and pickup boards are free to use. Browser notifications when it is your turn in a service queue are also free. Customize Pro is an optional paid subscription for branding, customization and advance queue reminders. SMS reminders require Pro and separate prepaid balance.
