WaitGate

Let clients step out without losing their place.

Manage walk-ins with a shared staff waitlist, live client position, optional browser turn alerts, and practical queue analytics.

Replace the notebook and repeated wait-time questions with a queue the whole team can run. Clients keep a live ticket on their phone and return when a chair or therapist is ready.

How it works

  1. Join by QR or at reception
  2. Choose the relevant service queue
  3. Wait nearby with a live position
  4. Return when the turn alert arrives

Queue management for Salons and spas

Unpredictable service time

Show an estimate that updates as the line moves instead of making a fixed promise.

Walk-ins at peak times

Keep everyone visible on one board and reorder deliberately without silent overwrites.

Busy front desks

Any authorised team member can add a client, request their arrival, reorder the queue or mark them served.

Frequently asked questions

Do visitors need to install an app?

No. They join from a QR code or link and follow a live ticket in their mobile browser. They can turn on optional browser turn alerts from that ticket.

Can staff add someone without a smartphone?

Yes. An authorised team member can add a walk-in from the staff board and share the ticket number directly.

Can existing software connect to WaitGate?

Yes. Integration endpoints can list your queues, read queue status and add people to a queue. Email hello@waitgate.com to set up an integration token.

What if a client is not ready when called?

Staff can move them down the queue or mark a no-show, and keep serving without deleting the visit history.
