Play cafe software and POS system

Omni-Play is play cafe software that runs the café counter and the play floor from one POS system. A latte, a toddler’s timed admission, and a party balance ring on the same ticket and settle in one payment. Memberships, waivers, and party bookings come in the same monthly price.

A play cafe POS system for coffee and play

A play cafe sells two things at once: food and drinks at the counter, and time on the play floor. A coffee POS doesn’t know what a timed admission is, and a booking tool doesn’t ring a latte. Run both, and you reconcile two systems at close.

Omni-Play’s café and F&B point of sale is part of every plan. You build a tabbed product grid from your own menu, taxes apply as items land in the cart, and café items share a ticket with admissions and party balances. Split-tender payments divide one ticket across cash, card, gift card, and store credit.

Cash control covers opening and closing the drawer, with the over or short and a Z-report, plus a per-employee tip cash-out ledger. Staff punch in on a shared time clock with their ID number.

Play cafe management software for the play floor

Cap each play window while the café runs all day. A timed session has its own length and capacity, and each arrival slot sells against the room left. Café-only customers don’t need a ticket, and parents can come in free with a paying child when you turn that on for an admission.

The will-call board shows each family as expected, here, or departed, and the live count includes only the guests who are inside. Digital waivers attach to each guest, with a day-of list of who still needs to sign.

Memberships, parties, and events for regulars

The parents who come every week are your base. Memberships renew monthly through Stripe and cover one child or a whole household, and a loyalty card rewards repeat visits with a reward the cashier applies at checkout. The register prompts a membership offer when a non-member family crosses your visit threshold.

Parties book through a guided party booking wizard that checks the room live and takes the deposit. For ticketed events, such as a monthly movie night, you set the prices and capacity once and list the dates. To see how café features compare, read the Omni-Play and ROLLER comparison, or book a demo of your café and play floor together.

Sound familiar?

What this venue type fights every week.

  • A coffee POS that has no idea what a timed admission is.
  • Two systems — one for the café, one for play — that never reconcile at close.
  • No clean way to sell a recurring membership to your regulars.

FAQ

Questions about play cafe software

What is play cafe software?
Play cafe software runs both halves of a play cafe: the café counter and the play floor. It rings food and drinks, sells timed play admissions against a capacity cap, books parties, and bills memberships. Omni-Play does all of it on one register, so a coffee and an admission share one ticket and one set of reports.
Can a play cafe POS system ring food and admissions on one ticket?
Yes. In Omni-Play, café items, admissions, and a party balance go on the same ticket and settle in one tender, or split across cash, card, gift card, and store credit. Taxes and discounts apply as items land in the cart. The café point of sale is in every plan, not a premium add-on.
How much does play cafe software cost?
Omni-Play publishes its price for play cafes: $149 a month on the Founding Member plan, which is open to the first 5 venues and locks the rate for 12 months, and $249 a month on the Standard plan. Both plans include every feature and unlimited devices and registers. Founding Members pay no setup or onboarding fee.
Can we limit how many children are on the play floor?
Yes. Turn on Timed for an admission product and give it a session length and capacity. Each arrival slot then sells against the room left, at the register and online, and party bookings count against the same venue cap. The café keeps selling food and drinks the whole time, with no ticket needed.
Can staff track tips at a play cafe?
Yes. Cash control includes a per-employee tip cash-out ledger, alongside drawer open and close with the over or short and a Z-report. Staff punch in and out on a shared time clock with their ID number, and a manager can edit a timecard when a punch is wrong.
