Real-time capacity control in play centres: when to warn vs block
Maximum occupancy, team alerts and stopping new entries. How to set thresholds without losing sales or safety.
Filling the room is not always good business: more children means more supervision, exit queues and risk if you exceed licensed capacity.
Two modes: alert vs block
| Mode | Effect | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Alert | Notifies staff; entries continue | Managed headroom, extra staff days |
| Block | Stops new entries until occupancy drops | Strict licence or insurance cap |
Direction sets the policy; software enforces it. More in features.
Combine with pickup alerts to clear the floor before the next rush.
Conclusion
Capacity is business policy, not just a number on the wall.
