How PlayOps works

PlayOps runs the front desk of a play area from one screen — the billing, timers and receipts in one place. Here is a normal day, step by step.

  1. 10:00

    A child arrives: admit in one tap

    Pick the child's package — one hour, two hours, a pass or a party. Type the child's name and the parent's phone the first time; next visit, the family comes up when you search. The timer starts when you admit.

    A parent checking in on their phone by QR code: mobile number, their name, the child's name and date of birth, with the supervision rule for that age.
    The play-time choice on the parent's phone, with today's weekend prices per child.
  2. 11:02

    Every child has a live timer

    The floor screen shows every child inside and how much time is left. When a child's time is ending, the card tells the desk. At time-up, the desk hears a chime. Nobody has to watch the clock or keep a paper register.

    The front desk at Wonder Maze: every child on the floor as a card with a live timer and a colour band, two of them over time and one family extended.
    A floor card at time's up: the timer reads over and the bar has turned red.
  3. 11:03

    Extend when the parent asks

    A parent wants 30 more minutes? Tap extend. The bill updates with your own extra-time price, so the desk never has to work it out.

    A child's timer at six minutes over, with a WhatsApp-the-parent button and one-tap buttons to add socks or extend by 30 minutes, an hour or a full day.
  4. 11:05

    Collect: UPI, cash, card or split

    At checkout, socks, snacks and other add-ons go on the same bill. PlayOps asks how the parent paid — UPI, cash, card or a split of two. The parent pays you the way they always have; PlayOps only records it.

    A family checkout for two siblings: the combined bill, with the payment split between cash and UPI.
  5. 11:06

    Tell the parent on WhatsApp

    PlayOps writes the message — welcome, time ending soon, time-up, the receipt. One tap opens WhatsApp with the message ready, and your staff send it from your own WhatsApp number. No extra cost per message.

    Settings, Messages: the birthday message rules and the WhatsApp messages the venue sends, each one editable.
    The app's preview of the checkout receipt sent on WhatsApp: a thank-you and an invitation to leave a Google review.
  6. Closing time

    Close the day in one minute

    The day-end report shows sales by payment method, so the cash drawer check takes a minute, not ten. Every sale is saved, and the whole month exports as a CSV for your accountant.

    The day's report: revenue so far against the same day last week, kids in, spend per kid, revenue by hour and how parents paid.
    The day's report on the owner's phone: revenue by hour against the same day last week, and where the money came from.
