What’s new in RESPAWNA

GST invoices that follow Rule 46. Tax is computed and stored the way the rule requires it shown, so the CGST and SGST split, the HSN and SAC codes and the place of supply all print on the invoice itself.

Your own tax codes. Enter the HSN and SAC codes your café actually uses once, in Shop Setup, and every invoice after that carries them.

The console fits a phone. Floor navigation is a drawer instead of a cramped dock, Shop Setup works one-handed, and analytics tables stopped hiding half their columns on a small screen.

First run sets the café up rather than describing it. The opening walkthrough does the work with you instead of explaining what you will have to go and find for yourself.

Pricing opens at the rig you are standing next to. Tap a station and its price list opens on that station, rather than at the top of the list for you to hunt through.

Expenses read as one list. Every card is the same shape now, with the date sitting beside the amount instead of below it.

The first owner at a new café can claim it. The very first signup could fail to take ownership of the café it had just created.

The Upgrade button stays on screen. It could strand itself off the edge of the trial banner on a narrow phone.

A frosted-glass finish across the product. The console, the member portal and every sign-in screen share one translucent material, so depth tells you what sits above what instead of flat panels stacked on flat panels.

Off-site backups you control. Export a full logical dump of your café's data on your own schedule, to storage you own, so the backup is not only ours to hold.

Pricing as a matrix. Players across, durations down, days collapsed, so a floor charging different rates on different rigs is one readable table instead of a wall of rows.

A tab shows what is on it, not only what it comes to, so a customer questioning the total can be shown the items rather than asked to trust it.

Your café's own page reads its own facts. A café's address on respawna.com serves that café's page with its real details, instead of the sales pitch aimed at owners.

Sign-in says why it failed. A refused login explains the reason instead of returning a blank card and leaving you to guess.

Billiards and snooker are not video games. Cue sports carry their own icon on the floor now, rather than a gamepad.

Tighter permissions across the console. Staff see exactly what their role allows and nothing beyond it, and a subdomain that is not a café returns a proper not-found instead of a login screen.

Adding to an open tab no longer says the tab was not found. The tab was there the whole time, the error was wrong, and it stopped a sale at the counter.

Open tabs. Ending a session parks it as an open tab instead of forcing a bill there and then, and you generate or discard the invoice later from Billing.

Charges onto a parked tab. Add snacks, drinks or a one-off custom charge to a tab after the seat has already been given up.

Merge tabs by dragging one onto another. When a group that arrived separately wants to leave on one bill, drag their tabs together rather than re-entering every item.

The floor is colour-coded by what it is doing. Live Ops cards carry a state-coded game capsule and a player count, so occupied, idle and overrunning read from across the room.

A shorter start card. Starting a session is a compact card with full-width Start and Set pricing, and snacks moved onto the live session card where they are actually wanted.

Everything responds faster. The lag after every action is gone across every screen, and sign-in checks are verified locally instead of costing a round trip.

An empty floor says so. A café with no stations set up yet sees a proper empty state instead of a preview of devices it does not own.

Your trial banner shows the real end date. Counted in calendar days on Indian time, with the date stated outright and Upgrade as a proper button rather than a link you have to go looking for.

Pages load a lot lighter. The icon font went from 3.8 MB to 313 KB, which is felt most on a counter tablet running on café wifi.

Racing games get a steering wheel. Driving and racing setups no longer show a helmet icon that belonged to something else.

Only the onboarded email can claim a café. Closed a window in which someone other than the owner could have claimed a newly created café first.

Reset your password by email. A forgotten password is a link in your inbox rather than a message to support and a wait.

Show and hide on every password field. Type it, check it, then hide it again, on every screen that asks for one.

Branded emails that work on a phone. The trial confirmation and the note telling you your café is ready are properly designed and readable on a small screen.

A shorter signup. Your email is pre-filled from the trial link and the duplicate WhatsApp field is gone, leaving mobile as the one number we ask for.

The first person to sign up owns the café. Ownership is granted on that first signup instead of waiting on a separate step.

Enquiry details left the café console. Trial enquiries carry personal contact details, and they are no longer visible from inside a café's own console.

Group checkout. Bill several rigs onto a single invoice, so a group that played across four machines settles once at the counter.

Monthly reports and an invoice register. Export the month as PDF or CSV, invoice register included, so handing figures to an accountant is a download rather than an evening.

Discounts you can actually edit. Change a discount after the fact, apply one at the point of sale, and delete a voided invoice instead of living with it.

Reset a false start. A session started on the wrong rig can be discarded outright, rather than billed and then voided.

Edit and retire stations. Change a station's details, and remove rigs you no longer run without leaving a hole in the floor.

Long sessions keep counting. A session that runs past your longest priced rung carries on charging correctly instead of capping there.

Add-ons recorded line by line. Snacks and extras are stored as their own rows on the session, so an invoice can itemise them.

Self-serve setup. Ask for a trial, click the link in your email, and your café is built automatically with no human in the loop, ready in minutes.

The live floor. Every station on one screen, with sessions you start, pause and end, and a timer per seat that stops when you pause it.

Memberships and prepaid wallets. Balances are an append-only ledger in whole paise, so a refund is recorded as a reversal rather than an edit and the month still ties out.

Food and drink on the session. Snacks go onto the tab attached to the seat, and settle as one itemised bill at the end.

A member portal. Your regulars check their own balance, history and membership from their phone instead of asking at the counter.

A first-run walkthrough. The console opens on a guided setup rather than an empty screen you have to interpret.

A 30-day trial with no card. The trial starts the day your café goes live, not the day you enquired about it.
