The Live Lineups App Tracks Wait Times at Grocery Stores

Live Lineups is a new app that's useful for tracking the wait times at grocery stores in Toronto, especially at a time when people want to figure out when would be the best time for a once-weekly shop. The free app uses crowdsourced information and also gives community members the ability to share information on the availability of essential items.

With the app, users can search for stores based on location, which should provide them with enough information to help them decide when and where to shop. The app uses a color-coded system to indicate the spots that require no waiting, others that may need about a 15-minute wait and others where it's best to plan for a 45-minute queue at a certain time.
