Till closeout and time-based billing in play centres

Block tariffs, extras and daily closeout without discrepancies. Unifying wristband, time and cash movements.

Saturday evening should not be a manual reconciliation between “what reception thought they charged” and “what is in the drawer”. If play time and payment live in different systems, discrepancies are inevitable.

What every visit closeout must record

  1. Booked time and actual time (or billed blocks).
  2. Extras consumed (socks, VIP zone, etc.).
  3. Payment method and vouchers or discounts applied.
  4. Operator who closed the visit.

In LudoSAFE this is one-step checkout: wristband, time and till in the same flow. See features.

Daily till closeout

ControlWhy it matters
Total per payment methodMatch card terminal or cash count
Closed visits vs wristbands returnedSpot exits without payment
Movements per operatorTraining and roles

The panel supports daily till closeout per site. It does not replace your accountant or integrated fiscal invoicing — it covers venue operations.

Desk mistakes we see

  • Charging “by eye” for the last minutes.
  • Cash extras outside the system.
  • Different rounding rules per person.

Set tariffs in configuration and let the system calculate. Log exceptions when they happen.

Prepay and wallet

If you sell prepay, closeout should show balance deducted and any amount due. See prepay and wallet.

Conclusion

Reliable closeout = every visit closed in software before the child walks out.
