QueueFlow - Laravel Appointment Scheduling and Queue Management System

Overview

QueueFlow is a complete front-desk operations system for any service business that runs on both booked appointments and same-day walk-ins, including hair salons, barbershops, medical and dental clinics, spas, and similar small service shops. Staff can see their whole day at a glance, book appointments without ever double-booking a provider, run a live walk-in queue with accurate position numbers, and print a formatted daily schedule for any team member in one click.

Key features

- Hand-rolled staff authentication: session-based login with role support, no bloated auth package
- Conflict-free appointment booking: real overlap detection against each staff member's schedule, calculated from service duration, with a friendly, specific error when a slot conflicts
- Live walk-in queue board: Waiting, Called, and Serving columns, one-click "Call next," and queue position computed dynamically as customers join, get called, and leave
- Today's dashboard: appointment status breakdown, live queue, and staff utilization (booked hours, appointment counts) all in one view
- Filterable appointment list: by staff member, status, date, or customer name, with pagination
- Customer directory: searchable, with full appointment and visit history per customer
- Service menu management: name, duration, price, active/inactive toggle
- Printable daily schedule PDF: a real, formatted day sheet per staff member (times, customers, services, contact info, status, and a revenue/time summary), generated with barryvdh/laravel-dompdf
- Five languages out of the box: English, Arabic, French, Spanish, and Turkish, with a switcher in the nav, right-to-left layout for Arabic, and a fully localized PDF export
- Realistic seed data included: 3 staff, 20 services, 55 customers, 85+ appointments spread across dates and statuses, and a busy live walk-in queue, so the app looks and feels real from the first login
- Clean, mobile-responsive UI: Tailwind CSS, system font stack, no external font or CDN dependencies
