LOSEtheLine for Stores

In today’s climate, stores are required to minimize capacity which leads to unpopular lines ups with the potentially high wait times. Even when in the store and needing to check out, users are faced with inconvenient and potentially unsafe line ups. In many cases, customers will turn away when they see such lines ups, which negatively impacts the stores sales. Lose The Line has a couple of solutions that can help with this problem.

Walk in Customers

Lose The Line eliminates the need for physical line ups. LOSEtheLine provides a mobile app that will instantly give customers a place in the queue with an estimated wait time. Customers can then decide to wait in their vehicle or in another safe and comfortable place until it is there turn to enter. As people enter the store, the position and wait times for those still waiting will immediately be updated so customers know exactly how many people are in front of them and how much time they have until they need to return.

How does it work?

As guests arrive at the service location, within the permitted distance, they simply open the Lose The Line app or scan the QR code and put themselves immediately in the queue. All without interacting with anyone. After receiving their position and estimated wait time, they will continue to receive real-time position and estimated wait time updates and alerts on their mobile phone.

No App? No Problem.

Using the LOSEtheLine App will give customers the greatest benefit but if a customer doesn’t have or cannot install the App then they can quickly register their name and cell phone number with an employee and get notifications by text
