Create a Queue

A queue is a named waiting list at your location. Customers join a specific queue. You can run separate queues at the same time for different services.

Queue management page for a location in the Jonot admin dashboard
  1. Open your location in admin.
  2. Go to the Queues tab.
  3. Click New Queue.
  4. Give the queue a name, such as “Walk-ins”, “Appointments”, or “Returns”. Customers see this name when they join and on the display screen.
  5. A URL slug is generated automatically from the name. The slug becomes part of the customer join URL.
  6. Click Save.

A location can have any number of queues. For example, a clinic can run “General Consultation” and “Pharmacy Pick-up” at the same time. Each queue has its own:

  • Customer join URL (https://customer.jonot.io/{org}/{location}/{queue}/)
  • Independent waiting list
  • Desk assignment (each desk is paired to a specific queue)

Your queue is ready but does not have customers yet. Next, pair the devices. Start with the kiosk that customers use to join.
