F&B and Café POS Built Into the Game Floor
The café is where entertainment venues leak money, because it is usually billed on a different till. Here, an order taken at a table or station joins that session and settles once.
The problems this solves
What you get
Orders Attached to Sessions
Anything ordered at a table, station, lane or court joins that running bill and settles with it.
Multi-Station Ticket Routing
Kitchen, bar, shisha and dessert each get their own printed ticket automatically, by product category.
Kitchen Display
A live prep screen with Pending, Preparing, Ready and Served states, so nothing is lost between counter and kitchen.
QR Ordering
Customers scan and order from the table, with approval rules if you want a member of staff in the loop.
Per-Guest Lines & Split Bills
Tag each line to the guest who ordered it and split the bill by player at the end.
Dine-In & Takeaway
Standalone restaurant tables and takeaway orders alongside game-attached ones.
Ticket routing that matches how the venue works
Products belong to categories, and each category is assigned a preparation station — kitchen, bar, shisha or dessert. When an order contains items from more than one station, each station gets its own ticket with only its own lines, printed on the printer assigned to it.
Printers can be driven directly over the network, through a small bridge agent inside the venue when the server is hosted in the cloud, or by cloud-polling printers for sites with no PC at all.
Why operators choose it
- One invoice covering game time and everything consumed.
- Orders reach the right prep station without being shouted.
- Faster table turns because ordering does not wait for staff.
- Item-level sales data for the menu.
- Clean splits without arithmetic at the counter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can shisha orders route to their own station?
Yes. Shisha is a preparation station in its own right alongside kitchen, bar and dessert, with its own printer and its own tickets.
Do we need a PC in the venue for printing?
Not necessarily. Printers on the same network can be driven directly; cloud-hosted deployments use a small bridge agent, and there is a cloud-polling printer option for tablet-only sites.
Can food be billed to a game session?
Yes — that is the default behaviour. Orders can also stand alone for dine-in or takeaway customers.
