Transfers & the weekly digest

Two small owner-only choices — a switch about moving visitors between locations, and a weekly summary that lands in your inbox.

Cross-location transfer

WhatDetail
Allow transfers between locations Off by default. Only about crossing between locations. While it is off, trying to move a visitor to another location is refused: “Moving visitors to another location is turned off for your business.”
Within one location The Queue's Transfer action can always move a waiting visitor between that location's own lines — this switch does not touch that.
Who can do a cross-location move The owner, or a manager of both locations, and only once the account switch is on. A manager can move a visitor between two locations they both manage. Staff, and a manager of only one of the two, keep transferring within their own location.
What happens to the ticket A fresh ticket at the back of the destination line, with a new wait clock. Only the visitor's priority tier carries over, not their old place.

Useful when one location is slammed and another is quiet. For the steps on the Queue — where the Transfer tile is and what the visitor sees on the new line — see Transfer a visitor.

The weekly digest

WhatDetail
Email me a weekly digest On by default. Every Monday the owner gets a short email summary of the week just ended.
Who it goes to One email to the owner's sign-in address, and one to each other owner, who can turn theirs off on their own Profile page.
Turning it off Turn it off on your Profile page, in the Weekly digest card, if you'd rather check Analytics yourself; the email's footer reminds you where. Only the main owner sees that card.

What the digest says

It is titled “Your week at {your business}” with the dates, opens with “Here is how the last 7 days went at {your business}” and covers the seven complete days before the send day — Monday itself rolls into next week's email. Where there is something to compare, each figure also shows the week before.

FigureWhat it shows
Visits served How many visitors you completed.
Usual wait Half waited less, half more, over the same seven days. With too few visits it says “not enough visits yet to say”.
No-shows The count, with the no-show percentage worked out for you. If some of those visitors never received our message, it says how many, because they may not have known it was their turn. If nobody was expected, it says it is not known yet.
Satisfaction Your average rating out of 5, or “no ratings yet” if none came in.
On time and Gave up When there are figures to show: the share of visits that waited no longer than their line's target, and how many visitors left before anyone called them.
The biggest things to improve Up to three, when there is something worth looking at, each with how many people it touches.

If you run several locations, the digest adds every location together and says so — it is titled after “your {N} locations” rather than pretending one location did it all.

There is also a monthly summary On the 1st of each month a longer summary arrives, with the last 12 weeks, and each manager gets one for their own locations. Each person turns theirs off on their Profile page, in the Analytics summaries by email card, and the owner can turn off a manager's there too. Managers can also choose a weekly summary for their own locations, sent every Monday morning. See Analytics.
Both are business-wide These aren't per-line — they set the behaviour for your whole business, and only the owner can change them. The transfer switch is in Settings, on the Across your business page, alongside Priority tiers. The weekly digest switch is on your Profile page.
