  2. 2

    Report the Position

    Reply with their number and estimated wait.

  3. 3

    Call Them In

    When two spots away, text them to head over.

  4. 4

    Handle No-Shows

    Skip and re-slot anyone who misses their call-in window.

  5. 5

    Activate and Test

    Activate the workflow with test joins. Confirm positions and call-ins fire.

Frequently asked questions

Does this kill the walk-in vibe?

It keeps it — walk-ins still work; the queue just extends beyond the bench.

Wait estimate accuracy?

Average cut time times queue position — rough is fine; freedom is the feature.
