virtual queue

Online holding place

A virtual queue is a system that holds your place in line without requiring you to physically wait.

Instead of standing in a queue, you register digitally and receive updates on your position or an estimated time: The theme park's virtual queue let us ride other attractions while waiting.

Common at amusement parks, restaurants, and customer service centers.
