A night never goes exactly to plan. The session should not either.

Start it the way the customer asked for it.

Pick a duration or run it open-ended, and see the estimated cost before anything begins.

• 30 minutes, an hour, 90 minutes, two hours, or a custom length
• Or open — no end time, billed on what they actually play
• The estimate shows before you commit, so there is no surprise later
• Assign it to a member now, or leave it as a walk-in

The five buttons that save an argument at the counter.

Each of these is a normal thing that happens on a busy floor, and each is one action rather than a recalculation.

Nothing walks out unsettled.

A session stopped without payment does not vanish — it moves to Pending, where it waits with everything else that is still owed.

• Paused and stopped sessions collect in one place
• Settle from there whenever the customer comes back to the counter
• A recovered payment counts on the day it was actually collected
• The device is freed immediately, so the seat can be resold
