Walk-ins aren't the enemy in Germantown — unplanned walk-ins are. SWIQ lets booked customers keep their slots while walk-ins enter a token queue with a real wait estimate, so the scheduled 2 PM is never stuck behind three unscheduled arrivals. Staff see both streams on one screen and choose: serve the queue, honour the slot, or offer the walk-in the next gap. Every customer sees where they stand — that's what stops the queue from becoming an argument. Across Germantown we track 78 businesses so far — every market we enter starts with real, verified listings.
