Independent state
A retail location runs returns, consultations, and collection as separate queues. Staff see the right waiting list while the owner sees the location as a whole.
Product interface with queue-specific context.
What changes
Clearer lists for staff and more relevant status for customers
A location can serve different types of walk-ins without forcing every visitor into one undifferentiated line.
Location → queue → service
Keep the configuration understandable as the operation grows.
Service-duration inputs
Expected durations contribute to explainable approximate wait estimates.
Independent queue controls
Open, pause, resume, close, hours, and capacity apply where needed.
