Stop the Queue.
Start the Revenue.
Entertainment — face painting, balloon art, craft, or another drawcard — pulls the biggest crowd at your event, but a physical queue blocks your walkways and traps families in one spot.
Queue Helper replaces the physical line with a digital queue. Families browse freely, spend more with your vendors, and get an SMS when it's their turn.
Organising markets, festivals, or big entertainment days?
See whether digital queues suit your crowd flow, vendors, and entertainment lineup — you’ll get a clear recommendation at the end.

The Entertainment Queue Problem — Solved
Every event organiser knows it: a popular activity — face painting, balloon art, craft, or something else — draws a crowd. Kids love it, parents queue for it — and that queue becomes a bottleneck that blocks your walkways, frustrates vendors, and traps families in one spot for 30 minutes.
Queue Helper replaces the physical queue with a digital one. Guests join from their phone via a QR code and keep their spot in the queue while they roam freely. When it's their turn, they get an automated SMS — drawing them back through your event for a second pass.
"Instead of standing in a line for 30 minutes, families browse your other stalls, spend money with your vendors, and come back when they're called."
The result? Happier guests, busier vendors, and clearer walkways — with families walking through your event twice.
WITHOUT a Digital Queue
Physical line. Blocked aisle. Bored families. Frustrated vendors. Lost sales.

How It Works
