The GULU Introduces Smart Queuing Solutions to Address Long Wait Times at Chong Kee Gold Shop in Hong Kong Amid Gold Price Surge

  • Written by Telegraph Magazine

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 30 May 2025 - In response to the recent surge in gold prices and the resulting long queues, THE GULU is announcing its collaboration with Chong Kee Gold Shop in Central to implement an advanced queuing solution.

This initiative aims to improve the management of long queues outside Chong Kee and alleviate congestion in front of the shop, ensuring faster service for customers selling or buying gold.

At the end of April, Chong Kee Gold Shop faced unprecedented customer volume as gold prices surpassed $3,500 per ounce, leading many sellers to sell gold and causing long queues to form outside the store. According to multiple media reports, the shop was bustling, and the extended wait times posed challenges for both customers and staff.

THE GULU, with its professional queuing solutions, is providing a comprehensive queuing system that not only streamlines the waiting process but also allows Chong Kee Gold Shop customers to enjoy a smoother selling or buying experience. In addition to the ticketing machines chosen by Chong Kee Gold Shop, which allow customers to wait orderly according to system-assigned numbers without fear of missing their call, reducing on-site confusion and unnecessary wait times. THE GULU also offers smart queuing services, allowing customers to reserve their queue position through THE GULU app, reducing wait times and ensuring a more orderly flow of people.

THE GULU Is Helping Chong Kee Gold Shop Meet Its Challenges:

The queuing solutions bring several benefits:

  1. Alleviating congestion in front of the shop: In Hong Kong's hot and humid summer weather, customers no longer need to wait outside for extended periods. They can wait for their number to be called in a shaded area, avoiding exposure to the sun and enjoying a smoother selling or buying experience.
  2. Higher operational efficiency: Staff can focus on serving customers rather than managing crowds. In addition to customers being able to enter the shop faster, this also helps reduce staff workload.
  3. Data analysis support: Ticketing machines can record the daily number of service users and peak hours, helping Chong Kee Gold Shop better understand resource allocation and quickly respond to high customer volumes due to persistently high gold prices.
"At THE GULU, we pride ourselves on being an industry leader in queuing solutions," said Eric, founder of THE GULU. "Our rapid response to Chong Kee's needs highlights our commitment to helping Hongkongers save time, using digital technology to improve queuing issues, and enhance the quality of life for citizens."

The new system has shown positive results, with customers expressing satisfaction with the reduced wait times and improved service quality. Through the digitized queuing process, Chong Kee can now manage customer flow more effectively, allowing staff to focus on providing excellent service.

As major financial institutions continue to favor gold prices and Hongkongers have a time-is-money mentality, THE GULU will strive to support businesses like Chong Kee in quickly addressing these challenges. Our queuing solutions not only help manage people flow, but as pioneers of mobile queuing, we ensure businesses benefit from operational efficiency, enhance their technological image, and customers can flexibly arrange their time and enjoy better service.
