1The door of 6QR check-in
Parents fill the form in line; the desk taps Admit.
A poster at the door opens check-in on the parent's phone, waiver included, no app. They show a 3-digit code at the desk, and one tap admits the family.

Walk through a Saturday.
Follow one family from the door to the drive home. Six stops, and each one is a part of PlayOps your team knows how to use by lunchtime.
DIRECTORY
2Play floor of 6Floor view
Every child's time left, colour-coded, on one screen.
Timers move from green to amber to red, with a chime at time up. Floor staff carry the same list on their phones and tap Sent to exit, so the desk has the bill ready.
3Café TV of 6TV display
Parents check the TV or their phone instead of asking the desk.
Any TV or spare tablet shows every child's band, first name and time left, soonest first, with no prices, surnames or phone numbers. Each parent also gets a live page for their own children: the desk sends the link on WhatsApp, and they can ask for more time from it.
4Party room of 6Parties · Birthdays
Every party, its deposit and its waivers, in one place.
Slots, packages, the deposit and extra-child prices, with the balance worked out for the day. Guests sign the group waiver from one short link, and you see who still has to sign.
Party invites a week before each birthday, ready to send.
PlayOps writes the invite, with your returning-family offer. Staff tap Send and it opens in your own WhatsApp.
5Checkout of 6Colour bands · Checkout
The right child leaves with the right adult.
Keep your paper wristbands. At admit PlayOps picks the colour and number to write, for the child and the adult; at checkout the desk sees who to hand each child to.
Every sock, snack and extra minute lands on the bill.
You take payment your way; PlayOps records it, so the drawer matches at close.
6Closing time of 6Reports
See the day's sales by payment method before you close.
The last family has checked out and the lights go down. On the way out, the day is already on your phone: sales by stream and by payment method, children through the door and parties booked, exportable as CSV.
Then bring them back.
Two ways PlayOps fills the days between Saturdays: your regulars bring friends, and quiet afternoons get a reason to visit.
CaféInvite a family
Your regulars invite new families, with a gift you set.
Each family gets a card with a gift link to share from their own WhatsApp. When the new family's first paid visit happens, both families get the reward you chose. You set the caps and see the worst case before it starts.
This week boardDay offers
Fill quiet hours with an offer the desk applies.
Pick a quiet slot and a reward, like a free extra hour on Tuesday afternoons. The counter applies it once a day per family, inside the limits you set, and staff can remove it.

Common questions
The things every operator asks.
What does setup actually involve?
A few questions about your prices — one kid, one hour, weekends, parties — about 3 minutes on your phone, and your floor is live at yourbrand.playops.in with your prices loaded. A real person WhatsApps you the same day to set up the rest. Prefer a human from the start? Take the 15-minute WhatsApp walkthrough instead.
What does it cost?
Every new centre starts with one month of the full Growth feature set, free — no card. After that you pick a plan: Starter at ₹2,999/month or Growth at ₹3,999/month. Paying yearly gets about 2 months free (₹29,999 or ₹39,999 a year). Chains and special setups get a Custom plan, quoted for you.
Can we run more than one centre?
Yes. Each centre runs as its own PlayOps venue, with its own login, rates and reports. On the Custom plan we set each one up for you. There is no single combined view across centres yet.
What happens when the free month ends?
Nothing is deleted and nothing is charged automatically. We ask you to pick a plan — Starter or Growth. While you decide, the floor keeps working on a reduced set, because we are not going to switch your counter off in the middle of a Saturday. Choosing is one WhatsApp message and we set it up the same day.
Do we keep our hardware?
Yes. PlayOps runs in Chrome on whatever tablet, phone, or PC you have at the counter. The wristbands stay the same. Printers, payment QR — all unchanged.
What about UPI / cash split?
Every checkout asks how the parent paid: UPI, cash, card, or split. The close-of-day report breaks revenue down by payment method automatically, so the cash-drawer reconciliation takes one minute, not ten.
Does it work offline?
No — PlayOps needs internet for parent WhatsApp alerts and real-time owner reports. If that would change a yes to a no for you, flag it in a WhatsApp to us.
Can our existing memberships migrate?
Yes. Send a CSV (member name, phone, sessions remaining, expiry) and we import it on day one. Auto-deduct kicks in from the next admit.
Can we use it for GST and accounts?
It gives you the sales record, not the return. Every checkout is logged with the payment method, and the whole month exports as CSV for your accountant. PlayOps does not file GST and is not a full accounting package.
Does PlayOps take the payment?
No. The parent pays you the way they always have — your UPI QR, cash, or your own card machine. PlayOps records how they paid, so the day's total matches what is actually in the drawer.
Is this a daycare or preschool system?
No. PlayOps is built for pay-and-play floors — hourly sessions, passes, birthday parties. If you need attendance registers, fee cycles and staff rosters for a daycare, this is the wrong tool and we will say so.

How to start a play zone business in India: the decisions, in order
Decide in this order: the space and age group, prices, licences, staff, then your front-desk rules. A plain checklist from what new owners asked us.
- Notes
What does it cost to open a kids play area in India?
Play equipment is listed at about ₹800–1,500 per sq ft on Indian supplier sites. Here is how to build the full budget for a small play area, step by step.
- Notes
A pass or a membership? They are not the same promise
A pass is prepaid hours and a membership is unlimited time, so when your evenings are already full, the pass is the one that is safe to sell.
- Notes
What should the second hour cost?
Charge close to full price when the second hour runs into your busy evening, and much less in a quiet hour, when the seat would sit empty anyway.
- Product
Check in with a QR code, and let parents watch the clock
Parents fill the check-in form on their own phone, your desk confirms it with a 3-digit code, and their phone shows a live timer they can extend from.

When is a play centre actually busy? We looked at 185 of them
Google's hour-by-hour data for 185 South Indian play centres shows every day of the week peaks at 7pm, yet almost every centre is open by 11am.

How much is one hour of play? What real rate cards show
We compared printed rate cards from Indian play centres. The first hour runs ₹179 to ₹499, but the real story is the second hour, where no two cards agree.

The 10-hour pass: one payment, many visits
A prepaid 10-hour pass brings families back many times, and it stays fair when you charge only the minutes the child really plays, not a full hour.

What the ₹50 sock knows about your play centre
Two real floors, same ₹280 ticket: socks at ₹70 sold almost as often as socks at ₹40, so the higher price earned 22% more from the sock bin.
Tonight, close the day in one minute.
Set up your centre yourself in about 3 minutes — or take the 15-minute WhatsApp walkthrough first. Both are free.
