Setting up a queue in crowded premises is not the real challenge but the biggest challenge is to maintain the queue. Various factors are responsible to make a queue function flawlessly, or fail dramatically. A business house should keep in mind the nature and demography of its customers and likewise design and organize queuing system to manage crowd seamlessly. You must put efforts to thoughtfully monitor the queues to keep the line moving and customers elated in order to eliminate chaos, uncertainties and customers’ disinterest. For this, you need to be very attentive to identify when customers waiting in the queue get irate, to handle up the situations before getting worse.
Q-Manager will help to recognize the signs which clearly define that you need to update the queue:
Disappointed customers
The only thing a business never wants is resentful customers. Poorly managed queue is the prime factor that turn customers irritated in an instant. A customer do not complaint about long queues, confusing wait time, delayed services and boredom but simply quit such unpleasing queues affecting sales and reputation of the brand. Customers look out for shorter, interactive and moving queues so it’s the high time to introduce all these intelligent queuing ideas into your queuing system as well in order to maintain customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Long Wait Times
For a productive queue management, you need to be concerned about perceived and real wait time both. If the actual wait time and perceived wait time both are too long, then it’s a problematic issue that has to be sorted out at the earliest. Update the queue and staff to maintain the customer flow to meet expectations of customers for waiting line.
Crowds at the register
First impression is the last impression! As new customers approach register or enquiry counters for information at the first, they may take their step back if your queues have unclear waiting method and poor customer services at the register. Increased flow of customers at register means the queue requires help. Get ready to make things clearer for the customers in terms of waiting line path, space to wait for the next counter attendant or anything other than creating mess.
Stressed Staff
Customers irritated due to prolonged waiting in poorly organized queues irritate your working staff as well. Employees get intensely stressed when customers yell together and thus fail to deliver effective customer service and support. If you notice your staff being tensed due to lengthy and agitated customers’ queue, you require updating the queue.
