Think before you switch tools

Free software is never free on a full floor

If the product is free forever, ask who the customer is. CafeNex is built so you pay for software — not with leaked free play, lost snack sales, or support that disappears.

If it is free forever…

Who pays? Ads, data, upsell walls, or a product that stops at marketing features when you are full on Saturday.

Can unpaid PCs stay locked?

A dashboard invoice does not stop free play. You need a Windows Station Agent that locks until the session is paid.

What happens in a food rush?

If kitchen and POS are bolted on later, snacks get lost. CafeNex runs desk POS + kitchen tickets on the same bill as the session.

What is the real cost of downtime?

One broken evening costs more than a month of serious software. Book a WhatsApp demo, run it against your floor — pay only when it earns it.

Deep dive

What the product actually does

01

Bill the team, not ten separate chairs

Scrim nights break per-PC billing. With CafeNex you start one paid session covering all ten machines — five a side — with multi-player pricing plans that charge per seat at team rates. Pause the session between maps, resume for the decider, and check out the whole booking at once. The clock, the food tab and the cashier stay in sync.

  • Start, pause, resume and checkout for a whole 5v5 booking
  • Multi-player pricing plans charge per seat at team rates
  • One checkout for the session and the food tab together
  • Spectator seats and walk-ins billed as their own sessions

02

Run tournament nights without spreadsheet chaos

Event nights are where arenas make their name and lose their margin. Book the floor in advance, hold stations for bracket play, and keep food moving to teams mid-match through the kitchen kanban. When the final ends, every station's session is already tracked — you close the night with a cash shift count instead of reconstruction.

  • Advance bookings hold stations for bracket nights
  • Kitchen kanban keeps food moving during matches
  • Cash shifts reconcile the night's take against bills
  • Analytics show which event formats fill the arena

Station Agent: game discipline across 40+ PCs

Big floors drift without enforcement. The Windows Station Agent locks idle machines, unlocks them only when a paid session starts, and scans each PC's game library so you know what is actually installed where. A player HUD shows remaining time without a trip to the counter, and updates roll out over the air — no walking the floor with a USB stick.

  • Idle machines locked, unlocked on paid session start
  • Game library scan shows what is installed per station
  • Player HUD displays remaining session time
  • OTA updates keep every agent current

Bookings, wallets and the teams that come back

Regular teams are an arena's backbone. Members keep wallet balances for quick checkout, loyalty rewards pull them back on quiet weeknights, and bookings hold seats for scheduled scrims. Staff roles keep the counter honest, attendance tracks who worked which event, and multi-tenant cloud means one login runs every location you open.

  • Member wallets for fast repeat checkout
  • Loyalty rewards aimed at weeknight slots
  • Bookings hold seats for scheduled scrims
  • Multiple cafes under one account
