Queue Management Stewards – Will we have to keep our distance forever?

Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, we all learnt to practice social distancing. This included not hugging our loved ones and queuing two meters apart at our local supermarket. It was a key part to the government’s response and were all reminded daily of the campaign “Hands, Face, Space”. It is no doubt that some of these practices will be with us for a long time to come.

It will be something the event organisers and retailers will have to account for in their planning and queue management policies, for the foreseeable future. This added thought will create a new problem, who will manage the queues?

It’s time you had some Queue-dos (Kudos)

Do you remember a time where a queue you were waiting in never seemed to move? It almost felt like time had stopped and that you were never going to see the end of it? This is the reason why it is important to have people managing your queues, not only to help speed it up and provide the necessary information. They can also ensure that people are following the new normal of social distancing. Reasons to hire Queue Management Stewards:

• Provide key information – such as waiting times and directions.
• Ticket checks – save queues from backing up by checking tickets whilst they wait.
• Keep it moving – encouraging the natural flow of the queue line.
• Health and Safety – ensuring people are not blocking pathways or emergency exits.
• Social Distancing – people will need to keep their distance whilst we move on from the pandemic.

How do you manage your queues?

If you are an event organiser or manage a retail business, then you should consider booking professional Queue Management Stewards that have a wide range of experience and can manage the situation for you. This will keep people happy and provide you with peace of mind that everything is in hand.
