Categories are used to group or classify services based on type, purpose, or department. They act as organizing labels that help both businesses and customers navigate available services more efficiently.

In Qwaiting, categories represent broad service types offered by your business.

Each category can contain multiple services under it.

For example:

  • A Hospital might have categories like:

    • OPD Services

    • Laboratory

    • Pharmacy

  • A Bank may use categories like:

    • Account Opening

    • Loan Services

    • Cash Deposit/Withdrawal

Where It’s Used:

  • Displayed to customers during booking

  • Used in kiosk screens, mobile views, and QR code menus

  • Helps in staff-side token assignment

Why Are Categories Beneficial?

1. Organized Service Flow

Makes it easier for customers to find and select the right service.

2. Faster Queue Management

Staff can filter queues based on category, speeding up operations.

3. Better Reporting & Insights

Admins can view performance data category-wise (e.g., average wait time per category).

4. Enhanced Customer Experience

Reduces confusion and improves self-service during registration or booking.

5. Multi-Department Support

Perfect for businesses with multiple service departments or service types.

Categories in Qwaiting play a crucial role in streamlining the service selection process for both walk-in and appointment visitors. By setting them up correctly, businesses can enhance customer experience, reduce confusion, and manage queues more efficiently.
