Pickleball Queue Management System for Walk-in Venues
Stop running your queue on a clipboard. PlayServe gives pickleball venues a digital queueing system: walk-in players scan a QR to join from their phone, a public display shows everyone the live wait, and the system auto-assigns the next player to the next open court.

Why a clipboard queue doesn’t scale past one busy night
Walk-in pickleball players are the busiest part of a weekend evening. A paper sign-up sheet works for the first ten players. By twenty, your front desk is dealing with line-cutters, lost slips, and players asking \u201chow much longer\u201d every thirty seconds. By fifty \u2014 normal for an open play night at a busy venue \u2014 the clipboard is chaos.
PlayServe\u2019s queueing system replaces the clipboard. Players scan a QR code at the desk (or from a poster anywhere in the venue), enter their name and party size, and join the queue from their phone. They get a place number, an estimated wait, and a notification when their court is ready.
The public display shows the live queue so everyone can see where they stand. The system knows which courts are reserved and which are open, and auto-assigns the next player to the next open court. Your front desk staff just calls names and confirms.
