Who this is for in New York
Where waiting-room space runs out
Dense urban locations in New York have limited waiting-room space, so crowding is a practical problem. Busy New York City service centers and smaller upstate county offices both need a way to keep the lobby manageable, and a large multilingual population makes several service channels important.
- DMV offices run by the state and by county clerks
- City service centers and county counters
- Public health clinics and hospital outpatient departments
- Operations and customer experience leaders

Without a place in line they can follow, people stay put in case their turn comes.
Walk-ins who give up
Visitors who see a full room may leave without being served.
Staff who manage the line by eye
Staff answer the same questions about wait times again and again.
