FAQ
Frequently askedquestions.
What is Respawna?add
Respawna is management software for gaming cafés · live station control, timed pricing, GST billing, snacks/POS, memberships, loyalty, events, analytics and expenses, all on one screen.
Which stations does it support?add
PC rigs, PS5 and console stations, and VR. You can run a mixed floor and give each station type its own rate.
How long does it take to set up?add
Minutes. Start the free trial, add your stations and rates, and you can begin billing the same day · nothing to install at the counter and no on-site setup.
Does Respawna lock the gaming PCs?add
Yes, on Windows. The optional Respawna Agent installs on each rig, locks the screen the moment a session's time runs out, shows your own wallpaper on the locked screen, and lets a member sign in at the machine and play from their wallet. Consoles lock at the TV instead: the Respawna TV app, free on Google Play for Android TV and Google TV, covers the screen when nobody has a paid session.
Is billing GST-ready?add
Yes. Every session and POS sale produces a GST-ready invoice, and you can export your invoice register and monthly report as PDF or CSV.
What payment methods can I record?add
Cash, UPI and card. Each invoice records how the customer actually paid.
Can I send invoices and messages on WhatsApp?add
Yes. You can share invoices on WhatsApp at checkout and reach members with WhatsApp campaigns.
Can staff use it without full access?add
Yes. Staff can run the floor and bill, while owner-only controls cover sensitive actions like voiding or deleting invoices.
Does it handle memberships and loyalty?add
Yes. Membership plans, wallets, loyalty points and visit history are built in.
Is my café's data private?add
Yes. Your café's data is kept private to your café.
How much does it cost?add
Plans start at ₹299 a month, and every plan begins with a 14-day free trial, no card. When the trial ends you either pay to carry on or stop · nothing renews by itself, because we hold no card. Current plans and prices are on the pricing page.
