Abstract: System and method for interactive queue management are disclosed. A system can include a server in communication with at least one queue and can communicate with a user via his or her smartphone to provide the user with queue data from the beacon, determine the location of the smartphone relative to the queue via GPS or a wireless beacon, and pre-book the POS checkout of the user of the smartphone at the at least one queue. The system can be configured to allow the smartphone user to not have to maintain a view of the at least one queue or its progress in processing customers. The system can enable a user of the smartphone to dwell a minimum time at the at least one queue upon notification from the beacon to the smartphone of an advanced position/reservation at the queue to complete the customer's transaction.
