For customers
Live wait times
Each shop shows its real queue: how many are waiting and roughly how long, updated as it moves.
Join from anywhere
Hold your place from home or work, or scan the code at the counter.
Alerts as your turn gets close
OnQ tells you when to head over, so you arrive as the chair opens.
For shops
One screen for the floor
Call next, start, done. Walk-ins and app joins share one queue.
Records that help
Served today, busy hours and repeat customers, without a notebook.
A page and a counter sign
Logo, photos, opening hours and a printable code, set up from a phone.

I lead OnQ's product and architecture at ScotiTech. It brings the same idea as the rest of my work to the high street: people should be in control of their own time, not stuck on a bench waiting for it.
