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.

What the product actually does

01

Billing a 10-20 seat parlour on your own

In a neighbourhood parlour the owner is the cashier, the technician and sometimes the bouncer. The CafeNex billing screen is built for that: pick the seat, start the session, pause it when a parent calls, resume, check out. Rates are yours — hourly, half-hour, student evening plans — and the same screen handles a walk-in or a daily regular.

  • Start, pause, resume and checkout in a few taps
  • Your own rate plans: hourly, half-hour, evening bundles
  • Wallets for regulars who play daily
  • UPI QR at the counter — no card machine needed

02

Shift-wise cash reconciliation, without an accountant

The daily question in a parlour is simple: how much should be in the drawer? CafeNex cash shifts answer it. Open the shift with your float, take cash and UPI through the day, and close with a report that shows expected cash versus what you count. If the numbers differ, the session log tells you which bill to look at — no CA needed until GST filing.

  • Open and close shifts with float and expected-cash report
  • Cash versus UPI collections split by mode
  • Session-level log when the count does not match
  • Simple enough to close the day in two minutes

Every PC locked until it is paid for

A one-person counter cannot watch 16 machines and the door at once. The Windows Station Agent pairs with each PC and keeps idle machines locked; a PC unlocks only when its paid session starts, shows the player their remaining time on a HUD, and locks again at close. The agent also scans your game library and takes updates over the air from the dashboard.

  • Station Agent pairs with each Windows PC
  • Locked when idle, unlocked on the paid session
  • Player HUD shows time left without asking you
  • Game library scan and OTA updates from the dashboard

Gaming parlour billing software that grows when you do

Start with billing and cash shifts; add the rest as the parlour grows. Food and cold drinks through the POS with inventory when you put in a counter, member wallets and loyalty when regulars mount, bookings when weekends start turning people away, and a second staff login with limited permissions the day you hire. The price starts at ₹999/month and the trial needs no credit card.

  • Food POS with inventory, added when you add the counter
  • Wallets, loyalty and bookings when demand justifies them
  • Staff roles and attendance for your first hire
  • Reports to see which hours actually pay the rent

FAQ

Straight answers

Yes — plans start at ₹999 per month with unlimited stations. For a 10-20 seat parlour that is deliberately priced against one busy evening of collections, so the software pays for itself in recovered sessions rather than a long ROI story.
