CoinOpThe till for venues
that sell time.
Billiard tables, consoles, gaming PCs and a kitchen — on one till that understands an hour is a thing you can sell, and that the lights over table 3 should go off when nobody is at it.
Point of sale software for pool halls, billiards clubs, gaming lounges and esports venues. No card for the trial. Runs on your own hardware.
What it does
Built in a working venue rather than from a specification: every screen here exists because something at the counter needed it on a busy night. Then made to fit the next venue, and the one after that.
Tables and consoles by the hour
Check a table in and the clock runs. Rates by day and time of day, per-station adjustments, prepaid blocks that count down and stop, and the lights over the table switch themselves on and off.
A kitchen that gets the order
Items route to the printer or screen that should have them. A ticket reaches the cook; the bill reaches the table. Nothing is rung up twice.
Gaming PCs, without a second system
Sell a ggLeap pass at the till and it lands on the customer’s account before they walk to the machine. CoinOp keeps the money side; ggLeap keeps the account.
Bookings from your own website
Your booking page keeps taking bookings. CoinOp reads them and puts them on the floor screen, with the fee in the day’s takings when Stripe took it.
The regulars, remembered
A record for the people who come back, points earned on the clock and spent on free table time, and tournament nights run from the draw to the prize money.
Books that reconcile
VAT-inclusive pricing exact to the last coin, in your own currency, a business day that starts when yours does, shift and drawer counts, and a Z report that adds up.
It runs in the building
On a server in the back office, not in someone else’s data centre. The internet going down stops your bookings arriving, not your till working.
Everything about one table, in one tap
Pause it while they take a break and the money stops with the clock. Move the players to another table without losing what they owe. Put their food on the same bill. Check out, and the whole visit — time, food, the minimum, the discount — arrives at the register as one thing to pay for.
One menu for the bar, the kitchen and the shop
Tap what they want and send it to a table, to a tab, or to a walk-up sale. Every item knows where it should go: the burger to the kitchen screen, the cola to the bar printer, the cue chalk to neither. Photos, colours and tile sizes are yours to set, because a menu nobody can read fast is a queue.
The cook sees the table, not a receipt number
Tickets appear as they are rung up, headed by the table or the PC that ordered them, and are bumped when they go out. A screen that belongs to the kitchen shows only the kitchen’s work — the bar’s drinks stay on the bar’s screen.
A queue for each kind of thing you rent
Including the kinds you invented: add "racing sim" or "karaoke room" and it gets its own queue, its own icon and its own word on every screen. Parties can be messaged on WhatsApp when their turn comes, so nobody has to stand at the door to keep their place.
An hour played is an hour remembered
Anyone can be a member — no card, no app, nothing to sign up for. A minute played is a point earned, and points come off the table time on their next visit at a rate you set. Their record says where every point came from, so the person who asks can be told.
A tournament that knows about your tables
Enter the players, draw the bracket, and each match is called to a real table on your floor. Entry fees go through the till, so the prize fund adds up and comes out of the drawer. Put the bracket on a screen in the room and it keeps itself up to date.
An hour is not one price
Quiet weekday afternoons, an evening peak, a weekend that starts on whichever day yours starts. A different rate for one player than for four. Minimum charges, rounding, grace at each end, and long-session prices that take over from the meter when somebody settles in.
Your gaming PCs, run from the till
CoinOp does not replace ggLeap — ggLeap is good at what it does, and it keeps the accounts and the time on them. What it replaces is the second job: ringing a pass up on the till, then logging into the admin to hand it over. During a shift, nobody opens the admin.
- Sell any pass from the tillThe pass reaches their ggLeap account before they are back at the machine.
- Find the customer by their PCThey rarely know their username. Pick the machine they are sitting at instead.
- Put a new pass on the menu in one tapMade a pass in ggLeap? It is already in the list here, at its own price.
- See what a pass will actually doWhen it expires, which days it works, which zones it opens — read at the counter.
- Refund it properlyMoney back through the till, and the pass comes off the account with it.
- Know which machines are freeThe room as a map you arranged, so staff point instead of reading out numbers.
The passes themselves are still made in ggLeap, and that is where they should be made — CoinOp reads them, shows you what each will do, and sells them. Accounts are still created in ggLeap too. What ends is the double entry.
The screen facing the room
A second monitor on the counter shows the customer what they are being charged for as it is rung up, and the venue’s name when the till is idle. No app, no QR code — it is a browser pointed at the same server.
Where it runs
CoinOp installs on a small server in the venue — a mini PC is plenty. Tills, tablets and the kitchen screen are browsers on the same network. There is no cloud in the path between a customer and their bill.
Linux or Windows
One installer, a systemd service or a Windows service, and a nightly backup that runs itself.
Any screen with a browser
Counter, floor tablet, kitchen display, and a customer-facing screen showing what is free.
Your data stays yours
Customers, takings and receipts live in the venue. Nothing about them is sent anywhere.
One price, one venue
A flat monthly subscription per venue, and a free week to find out whether it suits you.
