Restaurant & Café Queue Management in Melbourne

From Carlton brunch lines to Fitzroy small bars — give your guests their wait time instead of asking them to stand around.

Melbourne diners will queue, but they hate not knowing how long. ServQueue puts the wait on their phone the moment they scan the QR at your door, so they can grab a coffee on Brunswick Street or wander Smith Street and come back exactly when their table opens up. Built for the way Melbourne actually eats: long lunches in the CBD, brunch culture in Fitzroy and Carlton, late-night Vietnamese in Richmond.

Used by restaurants and cafés across the CBD, Fitzroy, Carlton, South Yarra, St Kilda and out to Geelong. Built so tables turn faster, fewer walk-outs at the door.

Why restaurants and cafés in Melbourne pick ServQueue

Same dashboard whether you run a single venue in St Kilda or a small group across South Yarra and Brunswick.
Australian SMS gateway — no per-message surcharges when your Saturday-night waitlist hits 40 names.
Live wait estimates update as parties get seated, so guests stop checking in with the host every five minutes.

How it runs in a Melbourne restaurant

1

Customer scans a QR

They open their camera, scan the QR on your counter, and they're in the queue. No app download, no account. Same for everyone in the CBD or out near Geelong.

2

They wait wherever they want

Position and live wait estimate on their phone. They can wait inside, sit in the car, or grab a coffee on Fitzroy — their choice.

3

SMS when you're ready

One tap on the dashboard sends them an SMS via the Australian gateway. They walk back in, you serve them, no idle minutes.

Common questions from Melbourne restaurants and cafés

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.
