A method of queue busting using a wireless computing device can include
executing a portlet within a wireless computing device, wherein the
portlet is configured to query for kiosk availability and receiving a
request to reserve a kiosk for use by a customer from the wireless
computing device. The wireless computing device can be local to the
kiosk. The method further can include determining availability of the
kiosk according to scheduling information for the kiosk and reserving the
kiosk for use by the customer for a period of time according to the step
of determining availability of the kiosk. A message, which specifies
reservation information, can be sent to the wireless computing device or
a representative scheduled to communicate with the customer through the
