Session timers
Session timer software that closes the gap between played and billed
A recorded start, a live countdown and an automatic end on every station · pause that never overcharges, prices frozen at start, and on Windows PCs a rig that locks itself at zero.
A live clock on every station
Every session shows its countdown and its running cost on the floor screen · the operator sees thirty clocks at once, each attached to its rig and its bill.
Pause that keeps its word
A player steps out for a call · pause stops the billing clock, resume continues it, and the paused minutes are never charged. The clock is honest in both directions.
Auto-end at the planned finish
A one-hour session ends at one hour, on its own. Nobody has to remember, walk over or argue · the timer closes the session and the bill prices what was played.
The rate is frozen at start
Whatever the player agreed to when the timer started is what they pay, even if the rate card changes mid-session. Timing disputes die when the price cannot move.
On Windows PCs, the rig enforces it
The optional lock agent puts the countdown on the machine itself · and at zero, the screen locks until the next session starts. The clock stops being advice.
Grace periods, by design
A configurable grace window before the next interval ticks means a player two minutes over is not billed a full extra rung · generosity as a setting, not an argument.
The timer is where a café leaks money
Every minute played but not billed, every session that ran long unnoticed, every dispute settled the customer's way for peace · it all leaks through timing. A recorded start, a visible countdown and an automatic end close the leak at its three points: sessions cannot begin unlogged, cannot drift unwatched and cannot end unbilled. The floor screen shows every clock at once, so a busy Friday is thirty precise timers instead of one stretched memory.
Open-ended sessions count up honestly
Not every customer buys a fixed hour. Open sessions count billable time upward with the same recorded start and pause discipline, and price from the same ladder when they end · so 'I'll just keep playing' is as clean to bill as a booked slot.
From counter clock to on-rig enforcement
On mixed floors the counter clock covers everything · PCs, consoles, VR, tables. On Windows PCs you can go further: the RESPAWNA agent shows the live countdown on the rig itself and locks the screen when it reaches zero, with a fail-closed cached deadline that holds even if the network drops. Consoles cannot be locked by anyone's software · a platform limit worth knowing before any vendor tells you otherwise.
Frequently asked questions
How do RESPAWNA's session timers work?expand_more
Every session gets a recorded start, a live countdown and a running cost on the floor screen. Timed sessions end automatically at the planned finish; open-ended sessions count billable time up until ended. Pause stops the clock and paused minutes are never billed.
Can the player see the timer too?expand_more
On Windows PCs, yes · the optional lock agent shows a live countdown on the rig itself, and at zero the screen locks until the next session. On consoles the countdown lives on the counter screen, since console makers give software no path onto their displays.
What happens if a player goes over time?expand_more
A configurable grace period decides. Within it, no new interval is charged; past it, the next rung of the rate ladder applies. Auto-end at the planned finish means overruns only happen where you allow them.
Can rates change while someone is playing?expand_more
You can change the rate card any time, but a running session keeps the rates it started with · the price a player agreed to is frozen at the recorded start, which is what makes the timer's bill indisputable.
What does it cost?expand_more
