In Qwaiting, Counters and Staff are tightly integrated to ensure efficient queue flow, accurate token handling, and a seamless customer experience.
Understanding Counters and Staff in Qwaiting
Counters represent physical or virtual service points such as desks, cabins, windows, or rooms.
Staff are the users (receptionists, doctors, agents, tellers, etc.) who log in to the system and operate these counters.
By linking staff members to specific counters, Qwaiting ensures that services are delivered in an organized, controlled, and transparent manner.
9.1 HOW COUNTERS AND STAFF WORK TOGETHER
When a staff member logs in, they can view and operate only the counters assigned to them (based on system restrictions).
Tokens can be called, served, or completed only from the assigned counter.
A single counter can have one or multiple staff members assigned, depending on shifts and workload.
When a token is called, the display screen shows the counter or area name, guiding customers to the correct service location and staff member.
This close integration eliminates confusion and ensures customers know exactly where to go.
9.2 BENEFITS OF COUNTER–STAFF INTEGRATION
Ensures only authorized staff operate specific counters.
Clearly directs customers to the right service point, reducing crowding.
Enables real-time tracking of which staff handled each token.
Improves accountability and reporting with staff-wise and counter-wise data.
Allows flexible scheduling, making it easy to reassign staff as needed.
9.3 ASSIGNING MULTIPLE COUNTERS TO A SINGLE STAFF MEMBER
Qwaiting also supports multi-counter handling, where a staff member can manage more than one counter at the same time. This feature is especially useful in:
Clinics and hospitals
