Bay control & bookings

Locked to the reservation, on every monitor

A full-screen PIN gate with your logo on it, and the booked guest already has the code.

One code for the guest. A separate one for staff.

The staff code lives on its own unlock page, so it's never typed where a guest can watch it. A whiteboard PIN at one venue stays at that venue.

And you can move a lock from anywhere

Lock a bay in another city right now. Open an unlock window so a group can finish. Issue a temporary PIN that expires on its own, so the front-desk fix expires instead of becoming the code everyone knows.

Access control

When someone joins who isn't on the booking

Shared door codes and unlimited memberships get abused. ShotReceipt can warn — or lock — when a player who isn't on the reservation joins the round, and lets through the friend your guest adds mid-session.

A bay lock screen reading "Unauthorized player detected — please see staff to unlock this bay"

They want 30 more minutes. Let them buy it from the bay.

A gentle warning before time is up, then the offer — bought by scanning a QR, granted by staff, or relayed to the front desk.

A gentle in-bay notice reading "Your time is almost up — 9 minutes left"

In-bay offer to add 30 minutes, an hour or more, with prices, a staff-PIN option and a no-thanks button — Thirty more minutes, sold from the bay at the moment they want it, and only when the next slot is open.

Bookings

Whatever you book with, the bay knows who's coming.

Bookings arrive typed in by staff, pushed by a vendor, or pulled on a schedule, and there's a published API any vendor can build against. A Booking sources page answers where this venue's bookings come from.

Typed in by staff: Straight into the portal
Pushed by a vendor: Webhook, or the published API
Birrdi: Google Calendar plus PIN push, nothing running on a desk
Everyone else: Agent mode relays the tee sheet from inside your network

League nights are first-class

A league night is defined once and materialises into real bay occupancy every week, with its own series PIN. An event outranks an overlapping reservation and the superseded booking stays put — if the event moves, it takes the bay back on its own. The league itself is run from the portal too.

Projector power, no extra hardware

On ahead of the booking with a warm-up lead you set, off after a pack-up dwell, and checked: the bay confirms the projector actually reached the state and retries when it didn't. Switch one on or off by hand from the portal, or hold it off until five. The alternative operators price out is a mini-PC per location at roughly $1,000–1,500. Here it's the bay PC you already have.

The bay opens for the booking.
