What holds esports and gaming lounges back

  • Stations tracked on a clipboard

    Who's on which PC, and until when, lives in someone's head.

  • Slow weekday afternoons

    The after-school rush is packed, and the hours before it are empty.

  • Regulars with nowhere to spend

    Players ask to prepay, and you have no way to sell them credit.

    Smart pricing turns empty afternoons into booked stations.

  3. 03

    Credit that brings players back

    Value cards, time packs and memberships keep regulars playing at your lounge.

The booking calendar on a phone: bays as columns, taken times shaded, peak prices marked beside the hours.

Smart pricing

Fill your quiet hours automatically.

Weekday afternoons before the after-school rush fill with players chasing a deal, and short gaps between sessions become extra game time.

  • Hot times

    Your quietest hours, spotted and priced to sell on their own.

  • Hot deals

    The first thing customers see: great times at a better price.

  • Gap fill

    Short gaps sell too, and players extend into them in one tap.

  • Best-fit bays

    Every booking lands where it leaves the fewest awkward gaps.

A day's calendar: quiet afternoon times light up as hot deals and appear in a Hot deals list, a customer taps an offer to extend into the gap after their booking, and a new booking lands on the bay where it fits best.

FAQ

Questions we hear

Can stations start automatically?

Yes, with the automation add-on and stations you can control online.

Can players prepay credit?

Yes. Sell value cards or time packs, and the credit sits in the player's wallet.

Can younger players book?

Yes. A parent or guardian agrees on their behalf as part of the booking.

Can HiO help fill quiet hours?

Yes. HiO spots when your stations are quietest and offers those hours as hot times at a better price, listed first under Hot deals on your booking page. Short gaps between sessions are discounted, players can extend into one with a single tap before their time ends, and every booking lands on the station that leaves the fewest awkward gaps.
