Gaming café management

Every PC, every console, every minute: one desk.

ChronoTick runs the café floor from reception. It times PCs and PlayStations, locks each screen between sessions, sells from the shop, keeps customer wallets and closes the shift. In Arabic and English.

What it does

Everything at the counter, in one place.

Basic covers the daily work of any café. Pro adds the tools for a busier floor. Add-ons are sold separately and need Pro.

  • PCs and timing Basic

    Start, pause, extend, move and end sessions from the live floor. Prepaid or open time, customer or walk-in.

    • Prices by PC category and time of day
    • Warnings on the PC before time runs out
    • Wake, restart or shut down PCs from reception

  • PlayStation stations

    PS4 and PS5 consoles sit on the same floor as the PCs, with their own prices for each model.

    • Wakes the console when a session starts
    • Rest mode when time is up, after a grace period you set

    • PC use, peak hours, customers and staff
    • Export to CSV

  • Multi-branch Pro

    Each branch keeps its own server and keeps trading on its own. Head office sees every branch's revenue in one view.

FAQ

Questions owners ask.

Does the café need the internet to work?

No. ChronoTick runs on a server at the café and the PCs talk to it over your own network, so sessions, the shop and shifts carry on when the line is down. The internet is used for the licence check, remote access, WhatsApp and updates.

What do I need to run it?

A Windows PC at reception for the server and the staff Console, and Windows on every gaming PC. PlayStation 4 and 5 consoles join over the same network.

How is it set up?

One setup program on the reception PC and one on each gaming PC, with a pairing code from the Console. We help you through it.

Is it in Arabic?

Yes. The staff Console, the customer's lock screen and the WhatsApp pictures work in Arabic and English, with right-to-left layout.

Can I start with Basic and move to Pro later?

Yes. Contact us and we update your licence. Add-ons can be switched on later the same way, once you are on Pro.

Where is my data kept?

On your server at the café, with scheduled backups that you can also copy to a second drive. The AI assistant's messages pass through ChronoTick Cloud to be answered; the Cloud keeps counters, not the text.

How do I pay?

Monthly, or for several months at once with a discount. Prices are in US dollars. Contact us and we will arrange it with you.
