Queue Pressure
A spatial signal that indicates rising wait, density, or capacity strain near cashier, service, or shared-space areas.
Why it matters
Managers can open capacity, redirect support, or prepare teams before waiting becomes avoidable loss.
Common mistakes
- Waiting for customer complaints
- Showing camera feeds instead of pressure fields
Industry examples
- Cashier pressure expected in 4 minutes
- Escalator/lift crowd pressure
- Service reception congestion
