Free browser notifications
Visitors can choose to be notified when it is their turn. Included with free service queues.
Queue management for repair shop counters
Organize people waiting to drop off a device, discuss a repair or collect a finished item. Keep the queue at the desk separate from the repair job itself.
Where waiting gets complicated
An intake conversation may take longer than a collection. Customers gathering at the workshop entrance can interrupt diagnosis and obscure who arrived first.
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
At an electronics repair desk, visitors take a QR ticket for counter service. Staff call the next person, then use their repair system for job details. If collections have dedicated staff, a separate collection queue keeps that line visible.

Questions before you start
Can customers track repair completion in Linelemon?
The service ticket tracks their turn at the desk, not repair progress. Job status, quotations and completion messages remain in your repair management process.
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.
