More than 7 people in a queue means people won’t join it. And they won’t wait in line more than 9 minutes.

Video Technology will Dominate People Counting over next 5 years

A video retail traffic counter shows hourly, half-hourly or even 5-minute break-down of the number of people entering the store. The counts can be integrated with a workforce management system, making it easy to create better forecasts and staffing schedules
It gets worse. If the 90 percent of shoppers had received the help from shop assistants, 86 percent of them would have purchased even more than planned.
