Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

QueueUp replaces pagers, paper lists, and shouting names into a crowd. Here's what you get.

📱

QR Code Join

Print a QR code, put it at your entrance. Customers scan it with their phone camera and join the queue in seconds. No app download required.

🔔

Instant Notifications

Tap "Notify" when a spot opens up. The customer gets an instant alert on their phone—no more yelling names across a packed lobby.

📊

Live Queue Dashboard

See who's waiting, how long they've been in line, and their party size. One-tap to notify, seat, or mark a no-show.

🌐

Works on Any Device

Owners use the iOS/Android app or web dashboard. Customers just open a link—it works in any mobile browser. No downloads for them.

📍

Geofence Verification

Customers must be near your restaurant to join the queue. No remote queue-hogging from across town.

5-Minute Setup

Sign up, name your restaurant, print the QR code. That's it. No hardware to buy, no integrations to configure, no IT department needed.

How it works

Three steps. That's really all there is to it.

📲

1. Customer scans QR

Place the QR code at your entrance. Customers scan with their phone camera, enter their name and party size, and join the queue.

📣

2. You tap "Notify"

When a spot opens, tap Notify on your dashboard. The customer instantly sees "Your table is ready!" on their phone.

3. Seat and done

Customer walks up. You tap "Seat" to clear them from the queue. If they don't show? Tap "No-show" and move to the next.

Why restaurants switch to QueueUp

🚫

No more pager systems

Pagers cost $20-50 each, break constantly, and customers can't leave the area. QueueUp uses the phone they already have.

💰

Zero upfront cost

No hardware to buy. No contract to sign. Try it free for 6 months. If you love it, it's $4.99/mo. If not, walk away.

🚶

Customers can leave the area

With a pager they're stuck in your lobby. With QueueUp they can browse nearby shops and come back when notified. Better experience, less crowding.

🌍

Works in any language

QueueUp supports English, Spanish, and Chinese out of the box. Your international customers can join the queue in their own language.

Simple, honest pricing

Start free. Pay only if you want to keep going.

Frequently asked questions

Do my customers need to download an app? +

No. Customers scan the QR code and it opens a web page in their phone's browser. They enter their name and party size and join the queue instantly. No app store, no signup, no friction.

What do I need to get started? +

Just a phone or tablet. Sign up, create your restaurant, and print the QR code. Stick it at your entrance. That's the entire setup. Takes about 5 minutes.

How does the notification work? +

When you tap "Notify" on your dashboard, the customer's status page instantly updates to show "Your table is ready!" They also get a browser notification if their phone supports it. No SMS costs.

What happens if a customer doesn't show up? +

Tap "No-show" on your dashboard to expire their entry and move on. You can set a claim timeout (1-120 minutes) so customers know how long they have to arrive after being notified.

Can someone join the queue from far away? +

No. QueueUp uses geofence verification—customers must be within a configurable radius of your restaurant (default 100 meters) to join. No one can camp the queue from home.

What happens after the 6-month trial? +

You'll be prompted to subscribe for $4.99/month. If you don't, the queue features will pause until you subscribe. Your data is kept—nothing is deleted. You can reactivate anytime.

Can I manage multiple restaurants? +

Yes. You can create as many restaurants as you need under one account. Each gets its own QR code, queue, and dashboard. Switch between them from the app.

Is there a limit on how many people can queue? +

No limits. Whether you have 5 people waiting or 50, QueueUp handles it. The system is designed to handle concurrent joins without conflicts.

What languages are supported? +

The customer-facing interface supports English, Spanish, and Chinese. The interface automatically matches the customer's phone language settings.

Do I need special hardware or a POS integration? +

No. QueueUp is completely standalone. You don't need a tablet mount, receipt printer, or POS integration. Just your phone and the printed QR code.

Your next rush hour deserves a queue.

Set up in 5 minutes. Free for 6 months. No credit card.
