Example setups
A ready setup for your business
Line Me Up fits any business where people wait — here is a ready setup for yours. Each one lists the lines, services, desks and people to start with, and how to set it up.
Nothing matches. Pick the closest type, or see how setup works.
Health
Clinics, hospitals, labs and pharmacies, where people wait to be seen.
- General clinic For a neighbourhood clinic with two doctors, a small lab and a pharmacy counter, where the waiting room fills by ten and nobody knows who came first.
- Dental clinic For a dental clinic with three chairs, where booked treatments run long, a patient with a toothache walks in unannounced, and the X-ray room is always one person behind.
- Eye hospital For an eye hospital where a patient has their vision tested, gets drops, waits for them to work, sees the doctor and then visits the optical shop, and nobody can tell where they are in that chain.
- Hospital outpatient department For a multi-speciality hospital where hundreds of outpatients cross registration, a doctor, the lab and the pharmacy each morning, and every department keeps its own register.
- Diagnostic lab and sample collection For a diagnostic lab where fasting patients crowd the door at 7 am, scans are booked and reports are collected later by people who only want to hand over a slip.
- Pharmacy For a neighbourhood pharmacy with one counter where everyone stands at once, prescriptions are slow to pack and the person who came second gets served first.
- Physiotherapy centre For a physiotherapy centre where most sessions are booked for 30 to 45 minutes, new patients need an assessment first, and the gym fills in the evening.
- Children's clinic For a paediatric clinic where sick children and well babies share the same waiting room, parents carry fretful infants for an hour, and a newborn should not sit beside a cough.
- Veterinary clinic For a vet clinic where owners wait in a small room with nervous dogs and cats, emergencies arrive without warning, and vaccinations and surgery follow-ups can be booked.
- Vaccination centre For a vaccination centre where children, adults and travellers come in waves, every person must wait fifteen minutes after the shot, and the screening desk is the bottleneck.
- Blood bank and donation camp For a blood bank with a daily donor room and a camp a few Sundays a year, where a college group arrives at once and nobody knows whether they are waiting for the form, the doctor or a chair.
- Hospital billing and insurance (TPA) desk For a hospital where families on discharge day stand at one window not knowing whether they need billing, the insurance desk or the cashier, and the corridor fills while each one asks.
Beauty and personal care
Salons, barbers and spas, with walk-ins and booked chairs side by side.
- Barber shop For a three-chair neighbourhood barber where Sunday mornings spill onto the pavement and every customer asks how long it will take.
- Unisex salon For a busy unisex salon where walk-ins crowd the sofa while booked bridal and colour clients wait for a stylist who is still with someone else.
- Spa For a day spa in a hotel or a busy road where guests are booked by the hour and a late arrival throws the rest of the afternoon.
- Nail studio For a small nail studio where a gel extension takes two hours and a walk-in wants a quick polish, and nobody knows which one is ahead of them.
- Bridal makeup studio For a bridal makeup artist whose calendar is full from October to February, where a trial that overruns pushes the bride, her mother and the cousins into each other.
- Tattoo studio For a tattoo studio where a walk-in wants a quote, a regular has a four-hour session booked and a piercing takes ten minutes, all sharing one door.
- Pet grooming For a pet groomer where dogs of different sizes need different times, owners drop off and wait, and nobody knows whose Labrador is next in the tub.
Vehicles
Car washes, garages and service centres, where the wait is for a bay.
- Car wash For a roadside car wash with three bays, where Saturday mornings pile up at the gate and drivers argue about whose car came in first.
- Car service centre For a multi-brand car service centre with six workshop bays, where customers wait at reception for an estimate and nobody can say where their car is.
- Two-wheeler service centre For a bike and scooter service centre with three mechanics, where riders crowd the shutter on Saturdays and a ten-minute puncture waits behind a full service.
- Tyre and wheel alignment shop For a tyre and alignment shop with a fitting bay, a balancing machine and an alignment rack, where a car often needs two of them and joins the wrong wait twice.
- Emission (PUC) testing centre For a PUC testing centre at a fuel station, where a few minutes a vehicle still becomes a long line on the first of the month.
- EV service and battery check For an EV service centre with a diagnostics bay, a battery lab and two repair bays, where a battery check takes an hour and customers cannot be asked to wait in the lot.
- CNG and fuel station For a fuel station with three CNG dispensers, where autos and cabs wait thirty minutes to an hour for gas and the line spills out of the forecourt onto the main road.
- EV charging station For a charging hub with two fast chargers and four slow ones, where cars circle the lot looking for a free plug and a driver who booked finds someone else's car on it.
- Number plate and vehicle registration counter For a dealer's registration counter and high-security plate fitting bay, where owners crowd the counter with papers and a ten-minute fitting waits behind a long document check.
Food and drink
Cafés, restaurants and counters, for tables and orders.
- Restaurant table waitlist For a sit-down restaurant that fills up from eight on weekends, where guests crowd the entrance and the host keeps the list on a notepad.
- Café takeaway pickup For a small café where the pickup counter gets three deep at nine in the morning and everyone asks whose coffee that is.
- Food court For a mall food court with a dozen stalls and one operator, where a token number is the only thing that stops two hundred people crowding every counter at lunch.
- Bakery and sweet shop (festival rush) For a neighbourhood sweet shop that is calm for eleven months and then has a hundred people at the counter on the three days before Diwali.
- Cloud kitchen pickup counter For a delivery-only kitchen with a single hatch, where riders from three apps and a few walk-up customers all crowd the same doorway.
- Ice cream and juice counter For a small ice cream and juice counter on a busy street, where the summer evening crowd forms a cluster at the window and nobody can tell who was first.
Sports and leisure
Gyms, courts, lanes and play centres, where people wait for a court, a lane or a station to come free.
- Gym and fitness trainer slots For a neighbourhood gym with a handful of trainers, where members want a fixed hour for a session and a visitor who walks in for a trial waits at a reception that is also the cash counter.
- Sports courts and swimming lanes For a sports club with a few badminton and squash courts and a lap pool, where the evening slots are fought over on a phone group and walk-in players hover by the court door hoping someone does not turn up.
- Bowling alley For a bowling alley in a mall, where every lane is taken on a Saturday evening and groups crowd the shoe counter asking how long it will be.
- Sports ground and turf For a five-a-side turf with cricket nets and a small ground beside it, where teams book by the hour over phone calls and two teams sometimes arrive for the same slot.
- Gaming centre For a gaming centre with PCs, console rooms and a couple of VR bays, where students arrive after college, every PC is taken, and nobody knows who was waiting first.
- Go-karting track For a go-karting track where a crowd of drivers waits for the next heat, everyone must sit through the safety briefing first, and the pit lane has no idea who has.
- Escape room For an escape room venue with three themed rooms, where every team has booked, half of them arrive late, and the host needs to know which team is ready for which room.
- Trampoline park For a trampoline park on a holiday afternoon, when families arrive faster than the arena empties and parents stand at the gate with restless children asking when they can go in.
Public offices, banks and money
Counters where people come with a token and a form.
- Bank branch For a busy branch where a person with a passbook update stands behind someone opening an account, and the guard is the one deciding who goes next.
- Post office For a small post office with three counters, where someone posting a registered letter waits behind a savings deposit and the whole room is standing.
- Passport and document centre For a private document service centre where applicants arrive with a file of papers, most have a booked slot, and every one of them walks through four counters.
- RTO (transport office) For a transport office where licence applicants, vehicle owners and agents all want the same few counters, and nobody can tell which window a token belongs to.
- Municipal office For a ward office where certificates, property tax and trade licences share one hall, and people come back three times because they never knew which window was theirs.
- Aadhaar enrolment centre For a small private centre with two operators, where a day's worth of people arrive at nine and the ones with a booking stand beside the ones without.
- Electricity and water bill counter For a bill collection centre where the last three days before the due date are a wall of people, and one counter has a short line while the other is out of the door.
- Insurance office For a branch office where agents' clients want a conversation, and someone who only wants to pay a premium is made to wait for it.
- Sub-registrar office For a registration office where a buyer, a seller and two witnesses stand in the corridor for hours, and nobody knows whether the deed ahead of them is nearly done. An example of how such an office could call people to its counters; the office still checks, charges and registers as it always has.
- Court registry and filing counter For a registry where advocates' clerks, litigants and copy applicants crowd one set of windows before the court rises, and a filing that comes back with a defect starts the wait again. An example of how a registry could call people to its counters; the filing, the scrutiny and the copies remain the registry's own work.
- Taluk / tehsil office For a revenue office where farmers come from villages for a land record, students need an income certificate by Friday, and everyone waits outside one door. An example of how such an office could call people to its counters; the certificates and records are still the office's to issue.
- District collectorate For a collectorate on grievance day, when hundreds of people arrive with petitions before the doors open and the hall decides its own order. An example of how such an office could call people to its counters; the petitions, hearings and certificates are the office's own work.
- Police verification desk For a verification desk where passport applicants, landlords with tenant forms and new hires with job letters all wait for the same two officers. An example of how such a desk could call people in order; Line Me Up does no verification, it only gives tokens and shows the wait.
- Employment exchange For an employment exchange where graduates line up at the start of the month to register or renew, and a person who only needs a renewal waits behind a full registration. An example of how such an office could call people to its counters; registration and guidance are still the office's own work.
- Ration shop (fair price shop) For a fair price shop where card holders stand in the sun from opening time in the first week of the month, and an elderly person cannot hold a place for two hours. An example of how such a shop could call people in order; the ration, the card and any authentication stay with the shop.
- Visa application centre For a private application centre where every applicant has a slot, yet the hall fills because nobody knows whether submission, biometrics or the cashier is next. An example of how such a centre could call applicants to its counters; Line Me Up decides nothing about an application and collects nothing.
Shops and repair
Service desks, repair counters and collection points.
- Mobile phone repair For a one-shop phone repairer near a market, where five people hold out their phones at once and the quick screen guard waits behind a long motherboard job.
- Electronics and appliance service centre For a service centre that repairs televisions, washing machines, air conditioners and laptops, where complaints, pick-ups and spare-part buyers all stand at one counter.
- Optician For an optical shop with an optometrist and a display of frames, where eye tests are booked but people also drop in for a repair or to collect glasses and wait among those choosing.
- Tailoring and alterations For a tailor with a master cutter and two helpers, where measurements and trials take half an hour but most customers only want to drop off or collect a garment.
- Laundry and dry cleaning For a neighbourhood laundry, where office-goers drop clothes at 8 am and collect at 7 pm and one counter has to serve both without a pile-up at the door.
- Courier counter For a courier franchise on a busy road, where people sending a document stand behind a seller with forty parcels and others come to collect a held delivery.
- Telecom and SIM store For an operator's retail outlet or a multi-brand store in a mall, where new connections take twenty minutes and bill payers, who need two, wait behind them.
- Jewellery store, repairs and valuations For a family jeweller where a gold loan valuation, a chain repair and a wedding viewing each need a different person, and nobody should feel hurried or ignored on the floor.
- Supermarket billing counters For a supermarket where, on a festival weekend, every billing counter has ten full trolleys behind it and shoppers stand in line instead of finishing their shopping. Line Me Up calls each shopper to a counter; the billing and the payment stay on your own till.
Education and everything else
Admissions, offices and any other place where people wait their turn.
- College admissions office For a college admissions office in June and July, when parents arrive with files and one corridor holds enquiries, document checks, counselling and fees all at once.
- Exam document verification For a university examination section or exam centre where candidates arrive with hall tickets and ID proofs two hours before the paper, and the gate has no order at all.
- School and college fee counter For a school or college accounts office where the last date of a term brings every parent to a single window in the same week.
- Coaching centre counselling For a coaching centre before a new batch, where parents and students come in the evening for counselling and the reception turns into a crowd.
- Photo studio (passport photos) For a photo studio near an office complex, where people stop in for a passport photo on the way to somewhere and an hour-long family sitting needs its slot protected.
- Event box office For an exhibition, a theatre or a college festival box office, where a crowd arrives together an hour before the doors open and the counter has no way to show who is next.
- Temple prasad and donation counter For a temple trust office on a festival weekend, when devotees come for prasad, donation receipts and seva bookings and the counters need an orderly, fair way to take each in turn.
- Coworking space reception For a coworking space where the reception desk is also the visitor desk, the day-pass counter and the start of every tour, and the morning rush of guests, couriers and walk-in enquiries lands on one person.
