Sell PC time properly
Start a machine against a customer, watch the timer and the running cost, and end it with an itemised bill. No register, no mental arithmetic.
- schedule
Rates that match your board
Half hour, one hour, two hours, each with its own price rather than a straight multiple. Weekday and weekend rates can differ, and a happy hour fills the quiet stretch.

Extras at the counter
Sell cold drinks, snacks and anything else you stock as part of the same bill or as a standalone sale. Stock draws down as you sell.
- receipt_long
GST-ready bills
Every session and sale produces a GST-ready invoice with the tax split out, and the register exports when your accountant asks.
- payments
Cash and UPI, both recorded
The method a customer paid by is stored against the invoice, so the end of the day reconciles against what is actually in the drawer.

A daily report worth reading
What each machine earned, when you were busy, what you spent, and what was left at the end of the month.
Moving off the register
Most cyber cafés in India still run on a notebook and a rate chart on the wall, and for a small counter that genuinely works for a while. It stops working at the points you already know: when a customer insists they sat down twenty minutes later than they did, when the cash at close does not match what you remember selling, and when your accountant asks for a year of records that only exist as handwriting. Software does not make the counter more complicated. It makes those three problems stop happening.
Nothing goes on the machines themselves
Respawna runs in a browser on whatever you already use at the counter, with no licence per seat. Locking the machines is optional: install the Respawna Agent on the Windows PCs you want locked and each one locks itself when a session's time runs out, or skip it and have staff start and end sessions from the counter screen. Either way the billing is the same.
Gaming, browsing or both
The line between a cyber café and a gaming café has mostly disappeared. The same counter sells an hour of browsing to one customer and three hours on a gaming rig to another, and increasingly the second pays better. Respawna does not care which it is: a station is a station, with its own rate ladder. If you add consoles or a VR seat later, they run from the same screen with their own prices.
FAQ
Frequently askedquestions.
Can I bill PC time by the minute?add
Sessions record their exact start and end, and open-ended sessions bill on the time actually used, rounded up to the next priced block with any grace period you set. You price in rungs, such as half an hour or an hour, rather than one flat hourly figure.
Do I need to install anything on the PCs?add
Not to bill from the counter · Respawna runs in a browser there. If you want the PCs to lock themselves when time runs out, the optional Respawna Agent installs on each Windows machine and handles the lock, the wallpaper and member sign-in at the rig.
Does it lock the computers?add
Yes, on Windows, with the optional Respawna Agent. It locks the screen when a session's time runs out, shows your wallpaper on the locked screen and lets a member sign in at the machine. Without it, staff start and end sessions from the counter screen.
Can I sell snacks and drinks too?add
Yes. There is a point of sale for anything you stock, and items can go onto a running session's tab or out as a standalone sale. Stock adjusts as you sell.
Are bills GST-ready?add
Yes. Set your GST rate once and every session and sale produces an invoice with the tax shown separately.
