The problem

Why manual pool table time tracking loses revenue

Manual table timing causes lost revenue. When staff rely on logbooks, calculators, and memory, table sessions are easy to misrecord. A few missed minutes per table can turn into meaningful revenue loss every day.

Consider a hall with 8 tables. If each table loses just 15 minutes of billable time per day, that adds up to 2 hours of unbilled time daily. At any hourly rate, that is real money, every month. Logbooks cannot catch what staff forget to write down.

Busy nights make it worse. With 8 or 10 tables running, staff lose track of which table started when. A table that ran 2 hours and 20 minutes gets billed for 2 hours. Promo rates that should only apply on weekday afternoons get used on Saturday nights. Minimum charges get skipped. There is no system enforcing your pricing, just staff memory.

The solution

How CuePoint tracks billiard table time automatically

CuePoint starts a timer on our servers the moment you open a table. Time is tracked to the second and displayed live on your floor view. Every staff member sees the same real-time status: which tables are active, how long they’ve been running, and what rate applies.

When a session ends, the system calculates the charge based on your rules: exact time, 15-minute blocks, or 30-minute blocks, with optional minimum charges. Promo rates apply automatically based on the day and time you set. The final table charge flows directly into POS checkout alongside any food, drink, or accessory orders.

If a customer pauses for a break, staff can pause the session and time stops. When play resumes, the timer continues. If a table needs to move, staff can transfer the session to another table without losing any data. Timers keep running accurately even if a staff member refreshes the browser or switches devices. Only authorized staff can adjust sessions.
