Start a visit, add players and goods, lend games and respond to service calls.

Before you begin

An open shift, a free table, configured rates and a permitted operator.

Where to go

POS → Board games

Visible menus may vary with language, permissions, app version and shop configuration.

Follow these steps

  1. Select the table, participants and rates. Assign members and bill groups, review the start/time mode and open the session.
  2. Add late arrivals to an open group or a new group number and review their join time. Record early departures, but charges remain until the group closes and settles; purchased time still applies through the agreed planned end.
  3. Ending-soon/overdue alerts do not close bills or stop time. Have a time-authorized operator review and save session-wide changes; individually purchased durations do not change with the session end.
  4. Select the paying group before adding drinks/snacks. Check quantities; tab items reserve stock immediately. Lend games to the selected session.
  5. Provide service-call QR access. Acknowledge requests and mark complete after assisting. Review ending-soon alerts before agreeing on time changes.

How to verify success

Participants, groups, times, goods and loans match the actual table, and service calls have owners.

Limits & things to check

Time overrides require specific permission. Do not alter time to hide discounts. Over-capacity seating requires explicit confirmation.
