The console

Start the rig.
Stop the clock.
Send the bill.

This is gaming café billing software doing its whole job: a rig started against a walk-in on its own rate, the clock and the running cost live on the tile, the session stopped, and the tab it leaves behind turned into a GST invoice and sent. Every state you see here is one the console has.

Why Respawna

What makes us different

Gaming café management software built for the floor, not adapted from a salon booking tool. Respawna runs your rigs, your rates, your members and your money in one console, with an AI that reads your own numbers. These are the four things you will not find in the free alternatives.

Luna, the console's assistant, pointing at the recommendation list.auto_awesome

Respawna IQ · with Luna

India's first gaming café software where the AI does the work

IQ reads your own books and hands you a ranked list of what to do next, each line quoting the rupee figure it came from. Luna, the console's assistant, proposes the change and applies it when you approve. No benchmarks, no other café's numbers.

lock

PC locking

The rig locks. The player signs in.

Windows rigs lock the moment time is up and unlock when a session starts. A member signs in at the PC and starts their own session from their wallet, so the counter is never the queue.

stairs

Pricing that matches the floor

Bills the way your floor charges

Interval ladders per system, per-player rates, happy hours, a short-play minimum and shop-wide round-off. The rate freezes the moment a session starts, so a price change at 8pm never touches the rig that started at 7.

timer

No sales call, no card

Your café, live in under ten minutes

Enter a name and an email, confirm, and your café builds itself. Add your stations, point the camera at the price board on your wall and the rate card reads itself off the photo, then start your first session.

Respawna IQ · part of Pro

AI that grows your gaming café

Respawna IQ is the AI built into your gaming café management software. It reads your own sessions, members and sales, then hands you a ranked list of three or four things to do this week to grow revenue: a rate for your quiet hours, the members worth a message, the cost you are not recording yet. Every recommendation quotes the rupee figure it came from, and when the data is too thin it says so instead of padding the list.

  • Every recommendation quotes the figure it came from, in rupees
  • Ranked by effort against return, so the top one is where to start
  • Missing numbers are treated as information · no costs recorded means profit is unknown, not high
  • Written to be read on a phone at the counter between customers

For your players

Inside the member hub

Every member gets their own hub · so they stop asking the counter what their balance is, and they can see exactly how close the next reward sits.

workspace_premium

Points that fill up towards something

Every rupee spent earns loyalty points at the rate you set, and the app shows the bar filling towards the next checkpoint. Hit it and the points convert to wallet credit · which buys their next session, and regulars can see exactly how close they are.

  • trending_upEarned at your rateYou set the spend-per-point, and points land on every paid session automatically.
  • check_circleCheckpoints, not a black holeA visible bar fills toward the next reward, so the goal always feels within reach.
  • redeemConverts to wallet creditRedeemed points drop straight into the wallet and pay for the next hour on the rig.
  • local_fire_departmentStreaks and levelsDay streaks, XP and levels give your regulars a reason to come back this week, not next month.
  • card_giftcardA welcome balanceNew members start with a signup bonus you configure, so the card is never empty on day one.
event_available

A seat booked before they arrive

Members pick a game type, a party size and a time from their phone, and the café's system assigns the rig. Two phones cannot take the same seat: the database itself refuses a double booking. A deposit or prepayment is yours to set, and when the group before runs late, staff move the booking to another free rig instead of cancelling it.

  • touch_appGame, party, timeThey say what they want to play, with how many, and when. The machine is assigned, so nobody argues over a rig.
  • lockNo double bookings, everThe seat is held by the database, not by an app rule, so two members pressing at the same instant cannot both win it.
  • paymentsDeposit or prepay, your callOff, a deposit or full prepayment from the wallet. A deposit returns to the wallet the moment they are seated.
  • swap_horizMovable when the floor slipsThe group before overruns? Staff move the booking to another free rig rather than cancelling it.
  • workspace_premiumPart of ProBookings come with the Pro plan and are switched on per café, so a walk-in floor stays a walk-in floor until you say.
card_membership

Membership and banked hours

Plans carry hours banked up front and a discount on the rate card. Members see what is left on the plan and when it renews, without asking anyone at the counter.

  • scheduleHours banked up frontBuy a block of station time once and draw it down session by session.
  • sellA standing discountEvery plan shaves a set percentage off the rate card for as long as it is active.

Tournaments, entered from the sofa

Events you publish land straight in the app with prize pool, entry fee and how many seats are gone. Players register from their phone instead of the counter taking names on paper.

Every zone, one floor

The floor fills. The till keeps up.

One gaming café management software for every zone on your floor: PC gaming rigs, PlayStation and Xbox bays, racing simulators and VR arenas. Each zone bills on its own rate card, every session lands on one tab, and the whole floor shows on one screen at the counter.

Rows of rigs

    They go out the same way, from your own number.

Only message people who gave you their number expecting to hear from you. WhatsApp bans numbers reported for unsolicited marketing, and that would take your invoice delivery down with it · so the tool enforces a cooldown and an opt-in flag.

Every review is a real Google review, quoted word for word. Read them on Google

As a gaming café owner in Kolkata, Respawna has completely transformed the way I manage my business. The automation and transparency have honestly reduced so many day-to-day operational hassles, and everything from live sessions and pricing to billing and memberships is so much easier to manage now. I spend less time dealing with admin and more time focusing on my customers. If you're running a gaming café or planning to open one, I'd genuinely recommend Respawna. It's made managing my café a lot simpler.

Jigisha DebnathGaming café owner · Kolkata

We've been using Respawna at our gaming café in Delhi, and it's been one of the best decisions for the business. The pricing system is really well thought out, and I like that sessions continue at the same rate even if prices change later. The transaction history is also very clear, so it's easy to keep track of everything without confusion.

Rahul SinghDelhi

As a gaming café's co-founder & operations analyst , I can honestly say Respawna has made running our business so much easier. The timer and billing system is accurate, easy to use, and handles multiple gaming sessions without any hassle. I also love that we can add food and beverage orders directly to the customer's bill. The analytics are really helpful, giving us clear daily, weekly, and monthly reports, and the income and expense tracking makes it easy to monitor actual profits. The membership and event features are also great for managing gamer profiles and organizing tournaments. Overall, Respawna is much more than just billing software—it's a complete management solution for gaming cafés. It has saved us time, simplified our operations, and I highly recommend it to any gaming café owner.

Gayathri SivakumarCo-founder & operations analyst

We switched to Respawna a few months ago, and I honestly wish we'd done it sooner. It's easy for both the staff and customers, and training new employees barely takes any time. Everything just feels straightforward.

Ellie

Respawna has completely changed how we manage our gaming café. Session tracking, billing, bookings, and customer management are all in one place, which has saved us hours every day. The dashboard is clean, responsive, and easy for the staff to learn. The real-time analytics also help us understand peak hours and improve our revenue. Highly recommended for any gaming café owner!! Rock on!

Lil Wolf

Amazing gaming cafe experience! The dashboard is clean, easy to use, and very convenient for managing everything. The system runs smoothly, and the overall experience is fast and user-friendly. I really like how simple it is to check gaming sessions, manage accounts, and keep track of everything in one place. The interface looks modern and professional, and it doesn't feel complicated even for first-time users. Everything is well organized, which makes managing the gaming café much easier. Overall, a great dashboard with a smooth experience and useful features. Definitely recommended for gaming cafés looking for an easy and reliable management system!

Power Nezo

A really well-designed and game changing platform for gaming cafés. It offers a clean interface and useful features for managing bookings, memberships, and gaming stations. It's a solid solution for cafés looking to keep their operations organized. Highly recommend Respawna!!!

Jasper Ratos

Man, Respawna has been a total lifesaver for our gaming center. We switched over from an ancient tool recently and the difference is crazy. The billing system is super intuitive, so my new hires pick it up in ten minutes. The gamers love the self serve features too. Honestly, it just works. Highly recommend it!

District Zion

Amazing response. amazing team. I am runnnig a gaming cafe and i had requested a feature and they have coded it within a day. what a team. and support.

Avinash - The DesignerRuns a gaming café

Running a gaming business comes with a lot of moving parts, but Respawna has made daily operations virtually effortless. The station management is intuitive, the accounting and daily financial reporting are rock-solid, and the customer experience is fast and seamless. It eliminates checkout friction and saves our staff hours of admin work each week. Highly recommended for any gaming lounge or venue owner.

Shanni .009

I have been managing internet cafes for over a decade and Respawna is easily the best modern option right now. The point of sale integration is flawless. It handles our snack inventory right alongside the PC hourly time. Migrating our old database took some time since we had to manually do it. Wish they add it soon, their devs are pretty quick about fixes and new features. We have had zero downtime since going live.
