Using basic hardware, this system has great potential and is very cost effective. It is available as a start-up kit with information panels, ticket dispensers, tickets and a data gathering spreadsheet for basic statistics.
Customers take a ticket, and wait until their ticket number is called forward to be served.
Ticket only applications can be found in Citizens Advice Bureaus, hot food counters and school parents evenings.
As a basic system, having a variety of coloured tickets and dispensers can organise the operation of single and multiple queues for a variety of queuing environments.
