System and method for integrating multiple customer ordering channels into
a single service queue to obtain goods or services from a provider
includes enabling customers to request service for goods or services from
the provider using multiple ordering channels, and arranging the service
requests placed using the ordering channels in a single service queue
based on the time at which each is placed regardless of the ordering
channel used. The ordering channels may include one or more ticket
dispensers which dispenses tickets having the next number in the service
queue to waiting customers, one or more computerized ordering systems
which enable ordering of goods or services from the provider via a
computer or other processing device, and combinations thereof.
