Walk-in Queue Number Page for Clinics & Shops
Customers scan a QR code at the door, take a queue number and watch their position on their phone instead of waiting at the counter.
Economics
- Pricing example
- $12/month per outlet (first month free)
- Daily math
- 50 outlets x $12/month = $600/month, about $20/day.
- Target if you hit the daily math
- Target: $600 / month at 50 paying outlets
Audience and urgency
Audience: Small clinics, barbers, phone repair shops, government-service agents, and other walk-in counters in Malaysia and the region.
Urgency: Walk-in customers crowd the waiting area or leave because they cannot tell how long the wait is. Small outlets can't justify a hardware ticket machine.

- ✓ Optional browser notification when the customer is 2 places away (where the browser allows it)
