Frequently asked questions

Q-Tracker is a new tool from Woolworths that uses real-time data to show the length of the queue to enter our stores. By helping you plan when and where you shop before you leave home, Q-Tracker makes it easy to avoid busy periods, save time and shop with your safety in mind.

Simply search for your preferred store by postcode or suburb and we'll show you the estimated queue wait time to enter the Woolworths stores closest to you. You'll also have access to an overview by store, which shows when entry to the store is busiest throughout the week.

We update our data every 5 minutes during opening hours.

We estimate wait times using the information given to us by the stores - such as the number of people waiting in front of the store, and the average 'flow speed' of the queues. The accuracy of our estimate depends on a number of factors, including how quickly customers already in the store complete their shop. We aim to make our estimated wait time as accurate as possible - let us know how accurate it is in the feedback section.

Q-Tracker provides data for all Woolworths supermarkets and Metro stores.
