Billiard Club Pricing That Actually Fills Tables

A billiard table earns nothing while it is empty, and its costs barely change while it is full. That single fact should drive your whole price list.

Start with time-of-day pricing. A flat hourly rate wastes your two best levers: happy-hour discounts fill dead afternoons, and premium evening rates monetize demand you already have. The key is enforcement — discounts that staff apply 'by feel' become permanent. Configure the windows once and let the POS apply them automatically.

Member pricing is your retention engine. A modest member discount, applied automatically when a registered customer starts a session, gives players a reason to register — and registration gives you their visit history, their wallet and a marketing channel.

Hour packages are your cash-flow engine. A 100-hour package sold at a discount is money in the bank today and guaranteed visits tomorrow. The math only works when deduction is automatic and balances are visible to the customer — notebook tracking kills package programs within months.

Finally, meet the fixed-time booking: customers increasingly want '2 hours, one price, stop automatically'. It suits families and groups, and with automatic stop plus light-off there is no awkward overtime conversation.

Every structure above is standard configuration in 8BallPOS — happy hours, member rates, packages and fixed-time sessions with hardware control. Request pricing and we'll model your venue.
