Nightlife Lineup Apps

The Linechecker App Helps You Avoid Waiting In Line

— February 10, 2016 — Tech
Linechecker is a brilliant and much-needed app that helps you avoid waiting in line outside bars and clubs.

Developed in California, the app crowdsources information from people who use the app, as well as street teams of people who scope out bars and clubs and enter lineup information to the app. The app is set to eventually expand to include lineups at the post office, government offices and other places that commonly field a lineup of people. This wonderful service lets you decide if it's worth lining up for a certain amount of time at a particular venue, depending on your mood or even the weather.

Considering that the average American is liable to spend anywhere between 2 and 5 years of their life waiting in line, it's well worth using Linechecker to avoid waiting in line on Friday and Saturday nights and instead head to venues that maximize enjoyment and minimize line-up times.

Trend Themes
1. Crowdsourced Lineup Information - The Linechecker app utilizes crowdsourcing to provide real-time lineup information for bars, clubs, and other venues.
2. Time-saving Apps - Linechecker is an example of an app that helps users save time by avoiding long queue times.
3. Location-based Decision Making - Linechecker allows users to make informed decisions about where to go based on lineup lengths and their personal preferences.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile App Development - Developing apps like Linechecker that crowdsource information and provide real-time updates on lineups can be a lucrative opportunity.
2. Hospitality and Entertainment - The hospitality and entertainment industry can benefit from apps like Linechecker that enhance the overall customer experience by reducing waiting times.
3. Consumer Technology - The development and advancement of queue management and lineup prediction technologies, like Linechecker, have the potential to revolutionize the consumer technology sector.
