Snooker Session Billing: Stop Losing Money on Manual Time Tracking

If billing depends on who remembered to write the start time, you are donating table minutes every busy night.

Manual time tracking fails in predictable ways: late start entries, rounded-down endings, “they’re regulars,” and arguments at the counter. Automatic session billing is not about distrusting staff. It is about removing the argument.

Where the minutes go

  • Start time written 8–12 minutes after the first frame.
  • End time rounded to the nearest 15 minutes in the guest’s favor — every time.
  • Table switches that never update the ticket.
  • Paused games that stay paused on paper but not on the floor.

What good session billing looks like

Tap to start, visible elapsed time, rate that matches peak or off-peak, and a bill that can take food without resetting the clock. Guests should be able to see they are not being guessed at.

Ten unbilled minutes on eight tables, four nights a week, is a staff salary you are lighting on fire.

CuePos starts sessions on the table, tracks playing time, and calculates charges so closing is a confirmation, not a reconstruction.
