Pool Club Management Software for Fast-Paced Pool Parlors
Unlike traditional 12-foot snooker matches that can stretch for over an hour with deliberate defensive play, American 8-ball and 9-ball pool parlors operate at high velocity. Peak weekend evenings bring large friendship groups, rapid 15–30 minute frame cycles, continuous beverage orders, and frequent group bill-splitting requests. Managing this rush with manual paper slips or generic retail POS creates front-desk bottlenecks and unbilled table time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pool Club POS
Can I manage both English snooker and American pool tables in one club?
Yes. JustClub allows you to configure independent tariff rules, table dimensions, and rate cards for each table. You can charge ₹300/hr for your 12ft tournament snooker tables while running ₹180/hr on your 8ft and 9ft American pool tables.
How does group bill splitting work when friends order snacks?
JustClub provides two flexible split modes: equal group split (dividing total table time plus canteen items evenly) or custom itemized split (assigning specific beverages to specific players while dividing table time equally).
Can table markers start timers on their mobile phones?
Yes. JustClub is a cloud progressive web application (PWA). Floor staff can carry a low-cost Android phone or iPad to start tables, add cold drinks, and show UPI payment QR codes directly at the table side.
Does JustClub support member packages and advance deposits?
Yes. You can sell prepaid hours (e.g., 10 hours for ₹1,500) and debit playtime automatically from the player's account balance, or maintain a running khata for verified club regulars.
