Appointment systems are good for planned visits
Appointments work well when customers can commit to a time slot and the business can control service duration accurately.
Token systems are better for walk-ins
Clinics, labs, salons, and service centers often get walk-ins. A token system gives everyone a visible turn order.
Fair turn visibility.
Clear counter flow.
Better handling of delays and no-shows.
Many businesses need both
A clinic may use appointments for planned consultations and tokens for OPD walk-ins. A salon may use appointments for premium services and tokens for walk-in customers.
How InCue fits
InCue focuses on token and queue management: QR entry, dashboard controls, TV display, tracking links, optional WhatsApp updates, reports, and logs.
