Reduce customer wait times at service counters 25

Accepting Ideas High

Summary

Customers experience inconsistent waits during peak service periods and need ideas that improve triage, communication, and service flow.

Problem Statement

Frontline teams do not have a simple way to smooth demand, predict busy periods, or keep customers informed while they wait.

Who is affected?

Customers and frontline staff

Current Workaround

Staff manually explain delays, prioritize urgent requests informally, and ask customers to return later when the line is long.

Desired Outcome

A clearer service flow with shorter perceived waits, better communication, and measurable service improvements.

Constraints

Must be easy for staff to use during busy periods and should not require a major point-of-sale replacement.
