Sell balls, rent rackets and serve drinks without a separate till. The shop and the bookings close in the same cash-up.

What usually happens

  • A separate till for the shop that never matches the center's.
  • Stock levels you only learn about when something runs out.
  • Tax worked out by hand from the retail price.
  • Drinks that add up through the day and get charged together at the end, noted on a scrap of paper.
  • Change worked out in your head with a queue at the desk.

One till at closing

The shop joins the same cash-up
Sales appear alongside bookings and dues, with their payment method. One close at the end of the day.
The system works out the tax
You type the price the customer pays and the net comes out. A product at €8.50 with 21% tax stores €7.02 net.
And the change as well
You enter what the customer hands over and the screen says how much to give back. No mental arithmetic with a queue behind.

It adapts to what you sell

Inventory only where it matters
Balls and rackets are counted; drinks and rentals are not. You decide product by product.
The tab that adds up
You keep adding drinks and charge for everything at the end, with nothing noted on paper.
With the member's balance
They can pay for the purchase with what they hold at the center, just like a booking. No card and no cash.

Stock drops before payment

A tube of balls added to the basket during the product audit, without completing the sale:

Dropping stock on adding rather than on payment is what stops two staff serving at once from selling the last racket twice.

The detail, if you need itTables, conditions and hardware. The things you check before deciding.

Compatible hardware

CashDro

A smart cash drawer: the customer pays into the machine, which validates and counts the money automatically.

Receipt printer

Receipts from the point of sale and from bookings, with whatever numbering the center defines.

Connected card terminal

Paycomet, standalone on the center's local network, and Stripe Terminal, tied to the center and with test payment simulation. The amount is sent to the device, never typed.

What members sort out themselves

  • Pay for their purchase with their balance at the center.
  • Get the receipt for the sale.

What you should know

  • Every sale is tied to a member, because the charge hangs off them. For sales to non-members, the usual practice is a generic counter account.
  • Inventory counts units. There is no supplier management, no purchase orders and no stock valuation.
  • It is built for the desk: there is no mobile terminal for taking payments courtside.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to work out the net amount by hand?
No. You type the retail price, tax included, and the system deducts the net: a product at €8.50 with 21% tax stores €7.02. The basket shows the breakdown as you add lines.
Can I sell to someone who is not a member?
Every sale is tied to a member, because the charge hangs off them. The usual practice is to keep a generic counter account for one-off sales, so the till balances without registering every buyer.
Do I have to keep stock levels for everything?
No. Inventory is switched on product by product. Anything you do not want counted — a drink, a racket rental — sells without units coming off.
Do sales go into the same till as bookings?
Yes. A sale appears in the accounts like any other payment, with its method, so the day's close covers shop and bookings in one cash-up.
Does it calculate change?
Yes. There is a field for the money the customer hands over and another showing the change to give back, as well as the sale total.
