Ditch the Chalkboard.
Go Digital.
Pool halls have used chalkboards to manage table queues for decades. It worked well enough when bars were quiet, but it falls apart on busy nights. PoolQ replaces the chalkboard with a live digital queue that players join from their phone and staff never has to touch.
The Problem with Chalkboards
If you run a busy pool hall, you have seen every one of these problems. They cost you time, money, and customers.
- Names get erased, smudged, or written over
- Arguments break out about who was next
- Staff has to referee the list instead of serving drinks
- Customers leave when they can't tell how long the wait is
- No record of who played or when
How PoolQ Replaces the Board
A modern queue system built specifically for pool halls and hourly table venues. No apps to download, no hardware to install, just a QR code on the bar.
QR Code Sign-Up
Players scan a QR code at the bar to join the queue from their phone. No app download, no asking the bartender to add their name.
Automatic SMS Alerts
When a table opens, PoolQ texts the next player in line and starts a 3-minute claim timer. If they don't show, the next person is notified instantly.
Dispute-Proof Records
Every sign-up, notification, and table assignment is logged with timestamps. No more he-said-she-said about who was next.
Real-Time Visibility
Your dashboard shows the live queue, table statuses, and active sessions at a glance. Know exactly what's happening on your floor without leaving the bar.
