there already waiting.!
!
• No knowledge where you will be in the queue without line being visible.!
!
• No incentive is provided for waiting.!
!
• Businesses don’t have the wait intelligence ™ data to improve that wait
experience.!

• Places that enjoy mega lines because of notoriety eventually become a novelty,
and never identify their true customer base. These locations also face revenue
losses in bad weather situations.!

cash paying customers.
