Common questions (combined customer + vendor)
- What is InTimeQ?
- A digital queue for any place with walk-in customers — clinics, banks, salons, government offices, restaurants, shops, tea stalls. You scan a QR, you get a token number, we tell you when your turn is near, and you walk in exactly when it's your turn.
- Do I need to install the app to join a queue?
- Yes. InTimeQ is a mobile app — install it once from Google Play (Android) or the App Store (iOS). From then on, every InTimeQ place you visit is a one-scan experience. Think of it like Paytm: one install, every subsequent shop is just a scan.
- What happens if I miss my turn?
- Open the app — in most cases you can rejoin the line right away. You do not lose your spot for being a human being.
- Can I leave a queue if I change my mind?
- Yes. One tap to leave, with no penalty.
- Will I get notified when my turn is close?
- Yes. We send you a push notification when your turn is close. You can change how early we notify per queue from inside the app.
- Can I see how long I'll wait?
- You see your live position in the queue and an estimated wait based on how fast the counter is moving. The estimate is a guide, not a contract — real queues vary.
- Does it work on iPhone and Android?
- Both. Get InTimeQ from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
- What if I don't have data or I'm on a slow network?
- You need a working data connection to join a queue and to receive the 'your turn is near' push notification. On a slow connection the app still works — screens may load a bit slower. If you go offline for a while, open the app when you're back online to refresh your position.
- Can I join more than one queue at a time?
- Yes — you can hold several active tokens at once. The app shows all of them in one list.
- Is my phone number safe?
- Yes. We use your phone number to identify you and to send one-time passwords. We do not sell it and we do not give it to the place you're visiting. Read our privacy policy for the full picture.
- How do I suggest a place to InTimeQ?
- Tell us from the /join page, or write to hello@intimeq.com with the place name and city. We reach out to the vendor directly. Customer suggestions are our cheapest and most credible acquisition channel — so thank you.
- What kinds of businesses use InTimeQ?
- Any place where customers walk in and wait. A three-chair barber shop, a busy tea stall at a railway station, a small-town bank branch, a private clinic, a sub-registrar office, a restaurant, a telecom service centre. Scale is not the gate — the walk-in pattern is.
- Do I need any hardware?
- No. A phone at the counter is enough. No printer, no token dispenser, no kiosk.
- Do my customers need to install anything?
- Yes — one-time. Your customers install the InTimeQ app once from Google Play or the App Store. After that, every InTimeQ-enabled place they visit — yours and anyone else's — is a single-scan experience. Same pattern as Paytm: one install, every subsequent counter is a scan.
- How long does it take to set up?
- Typically under 60 seconds. Enter your phone number, enter the OTP, name your place, tap 'Start my queue'. You get a printable QR to stick at your counter. Your next customer scans it and you're running a queue.
- Can I add walk-in customers who don't have a phone?
- Yes. In two taps — name and phone — you put them in your queue. Their token appears alongside the scanners'.
- Can I pause the queue for lunch or a break?
- Yes. One tap pauses. The people already in the queue keep their place. New joins are blocked until you resume.
- Can I have more than one queue running?
- Yes. Many vendors run separate queues for different services or counters. Each queue has its own QR, its own token numbers, and can be run by a different operator.
- Can my staff operate the queue from different phones?
- Yes. Each operator signs in on their own phone with their own number. You decide who can start, pause, call-next, and add walk-ins.
- What reports do I get?
- The org dashboard shows live activity, per-property comparisons, per-operator performance, and trend charts over any date range. More depth lands with every release.
- What happens if InTimeQ goes down?
- Your queue is a QR and a set of notifications. If we were offline for a day, you'd go back to calling names the way you did before InTimeQ. There is no lock-in. We treat uptime as a core commitment — see our status page.
- How do I get help?
- In-app help, or write to hello@intimeq.com. A human reads every email. Response time is under 24 hours on weekdays.
