About QR Wait
QR Wait is a browser-based virtual queue and waitlist service for organizations managing walk-in arrivals. Visitors scan a QR code to join from a phone without installing an app or creating an account, then follow their place and estimated wait and receive a notification when called. Staff manage queues in a browser on a phone or tablet, call the next visitor, add people without smartphones, and manage multiple queues, services, counters, or tables. Optional rotating QR codes and location checks can limit remote joining. The service supports appointments alongside walk-ins, a queue-status page, a display view for TVs or tablets, queue statistics, REST API access, and webhooks. It is intended for settings such as service desks, municipal offices, clinics, restaurants, beaches, pools, and event entrances. Visitors use it through a browser without dedicated queue hardware.

QLess
QLess specializes in queue management and appointment scheduling software. Through queue management software, customers are empowered to wait wherever they want: at home, work, or even Starbucks – instead of a crowded lobby. To begin, customers join a virtual queue online. They are given a wait time forecast and timely notifications alert customers as they move to the front of the queue. With appointment scheduling software, customers book an appointment for a future day and time. Meanwhile, you are able to accept walk-ins as schedule openings occur. As the time of the customer’s appointment approaches, QLess automatically places the customer in the virtual queue of your software. Interactive appointment scheduling software offers bi-directional communication, connecting your staff with customers. If a customer is running late, they can request more time. Likewise, your staff can notify the customer if your office is behind schedule.

Jonot
Jonot combines virtual queue management with appointment booking. Walk-in customers join by QR code, web link or self-service kiosk and track their position and estimated wait on their phone, without an app or account.
Pro adds online reservations: customers choose a service and available time, verify their email, and receive confirmation, reminders and an Add to calendar download. Private links let them manage, cancel or reschedule bookings within the permitted windows.
Staff manage bookings in a calendar, configure service durations, preparation and cleanup buffers, hours, breaks and capacity, and serve appointments alongside walk-ins through the same desk workflow. Public displays use anonymous reservation codes.
Jonot supports multiple locations and queues, multilingual interfaces, branding, feedback and webhooks. It runs on existing devices. Temporary local-network fallback supports walk-ins; booking and reservation management require internet.
