Real words from operators running live queues every day

We used to lose five or six walk-ins every Saturday night. Since switching to ServQueue the walkouts basically stopped — people grab a coffee and come back the moment we text them.

Owner, Bella's Salon · Brisbane, QLD

Setup took about ten minutes. The live chat is the real surprise — customers message us questions from their table instead of waving at the counter.

Owner, Caffè Nero · Melbourne, VIC

Reception used to drown in walk-ins at 8am. Now patients check in from the car park and we call them when a room opens up. Way less chaos, happier staff.

The problem

Paper lists lose you customers — and money

  • Most customers leave a queue after 15–20 minutes with no update
  • Staff spend peak hours managing the list instead of serving people
  • No record of who left, who was skipped, or how long they waited
  • Customers who leave don't come back

The fix

A digital queue customers actually use

  • Customers scan a QR code — in the queue in under 60 seconds
  • Automatic SMS keeps them informed so they can go for a coffee
  • Operators run the whole queue from their phone with one tap
  • Every visit is logged — wait times, no-shows, peak hour data

Live in under 5 minutes

No hardware. No IT team. No training required.

Photo & PDF sharing

Mechanics send photos of the brake pads. Salons share style references. Clinics send aftercare PDFs. Attach files directly in chat — no email back-and-forth (Growth and Pro).

SMS fallback included

When a customer isn't actively looking at their chat, we text them so they know you've replied. Sent via an Australian gateway — no Twilio surcharges, no per-message surprises.

Chat as much as you want with your customers — it's free and unlimited on every plan. When a customer isn't looking at their chat page, we send them a text message so they know you've replied. Those text messages use your SMS quota — the same pool as your queue notifications.

Frequently asked questions

Do my customers need to download an app?

No. Customers scan a QR code with their phone camera and a web page opens — no app, no account, no password. They enter their name and mobile number and land on a page that shows their queue position plus a live chat with you. Everything happens in their browser.

Is chat really unlimited?

Yes — chat between you and your customers is unlimited on every plan, including Basic. We never charge per chat message. The only time you use your SMS quota is when we text a customer to let them know you've replied (and we only do that when they're not actively looking at their chat page).

How does the SMS work? Am I charged per message?

SMS is included in your plan price — no per-message billing. Basic includes 300 SMS/month, Growth includes 800, Pro includes 1,500. Need more? You can buy one-time top-up bundles from your billing settings. Messages are sent via an Australian gateway so delivery is fast and reliable.

What happens if the customer closes their browser?

If you send them a chat message while they're offline, they get one SMS with a link back to the chat. They tap the link, the chat picks up exactly where it left off — nothing is lost. Think of it like a walkie-talkie: when both sides are holding it, talk is free; when your customer puts theirs down, we tap them on the shoulder.

How long does setup take?

Under 5 minutes. Sign up, enter your business name, name your queue, and you get a QR code. Print it or put it on a tablet at your counter and you're live.

Can I have multiple queues? (e.g. Cuts and Colours separately)

Yes. Growth supports 3 queues per location, Pro supports unlimited queues across multiple locations. Each queue has its own QR code, URL, and live dashboard view.

Where is my data stored?

All customer data is stored in Australia (AWS Sydney, ap-southeast-2). We comply with the Australian Privacy Act 2024. Customer data never leaves Australian jurisdiction.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes — no lock-in contracts. Cancel from your billing settings at any time. Your data is retained for 30 days after cancellation so you can export it if needed.

What if a customer wants to leave the queue?

They can reply LEAVE to any SMS and they're automatically removed. Operators can also remove any entry from the dashboard with one tap.

Do you integrate with Xero or my POS?

Xero and MYOB integrations are on the roadmap for Phase 2 (mid-2026). Right now ServQueue is focused on doing the customer service journey — from check-in to completion — exceptionally well.
