Problem: Long queue times at FnB outlets/restaurants (Especially in population dense areas)
Idea: Use physical sensors or a piece of tech at restaurants to detect people in queue. Use the data collected and calculate the queue time. Provide the information on an mobile app for end users.
What does it solve?: Consumers will waste less time queuing and they can make a better decision on where to eat at FnB outlet/restaurant
Key Features

What does it solve?: Consumers will waste less time queuing and they can make a better decision on where to eat at FnB outlet/restaurant
Key Features
- Queue Visibility - End users would be able to view the number of people in the queue and the estimated queue time
- Queue Time Prediction - Users can also input how long it takes for them to arrive at the restaurant so that AI can take that into consideration and accurately predict the estimate queue time upon their arrival
- Promo - Provide consumers with discounts for certain FnB outlets
- Provide reservation option for consumers
- May expand to areas other than FnB outlets
- Subscription plan for consumers
- (I am unsure on how to price the FnB outlets/resaurant, I am still working on it)
- It will cause the outlet to lose customers. For example, if consumers know that there are many people at a FnB outlet and decides not to dine there.
- From a FnB owner perspective, they would not care how many people is in the queue as long as the restaurant is working at high capacity generating as much revenue as possible
- Dilemma....
- High Queue time might be a sign of a restaurant being more popular and desirable perhaps nicer food, better ambience or better deals. OR it could be looked as not to waste time queuing there
- Low Queue time might be a sign of arestaurant being bad, bad service, bad food, inconvenient place. OR it could encourage people to dine here for the peace and to get away from the crowd
- Legal issues? - public surveillance?
