Pool Hall Master

Running the floor at Good Times Billiards · Lakewood, CA · 20 tables · 7 nights a week

What it does

The operations layer your POS never had.

Everything between a party walking in and a ticket closing out — tracked, timed and texted from one iPad.

The Floor

Stop losing table time.

Every table is a card: who is on it, how long, what they owe right now. Rates apply themselves — 9-foot, 7-foot, daytime, league, member — and the tab is right when the players stand up.

  • Per-player or per-table Mix billing modes on the same floor.
  • Pause, transfer, split Without losing a minute of the timer.
  • Day close in one screen Cash, card, Square, and what the floor did.

The Floor view on iPad with table cards and the Player Queue

Player Queue

Fill the floor from the line.

Guests join from a link or the TV. The queue knows what they want — table size, hours, party — and texts them when it is their turn. Seating is one tap and the rate is already set.

  • Next-up warnings A text before a Block Play table frees.
  • Self-cancel Guests drop off by text; the line moves.
  • TV display The room sees the queue without asking.

Why PHM

Built by the people who close the room.

Made by pool hall owners, for pool hall owners.

We run a 20-table room every night, so Pool Hall Master was built on the floor, not in a pitch deck. Table time on paper, missed charges at the register, membership spreadsheets that never matched — every feature exists because we needed it that night.

FAQs

Common Questions

What is Pool Hall Master and what does it do?

Pool Hall Master is a companion app built specifically for pool rooms. It tracks table time, manages waitlists, runs tournaments, and gives you real-time insights into your floor — all from an iPad or iPhone. Each venue owns their customer data: player profiles, session history, and usage patterns. PHM is not a POS — it works alongside your existing payment system (Square, Toast, SpotOn, etc.) so you don't have to change how you take payments.

How does PHM work with my existing POS?

PHM is not a point-of-sale system — it's a companion that handles everything your POS can't. PHM tracks table time, player sessions, and customer data, then sends session details to your POS when you're ready to close out. Your POS handles the payment. They work together: PHM gives you the operations layer, your POS handles the register.

Can I manage multiple tables and track different player sessions simultaneously?

Absolutely. Pool Hall Master supports up to 48 tables with individual time tracking for each. This includes real-time table status monitoring with visual indicators, individual player session tracking, flexible player limits configurable per table, smart table assignment from waitlist management, and a live dashboard overview showing all table statuses at once.

How does the waitlist and customer management system work?

Pool Hall Master includes an intelligent waitlist and customer management system with digital waitlist and estimated wait times, customer profiles with play history, smart search with instant results and fuzzy matching, membership management with different tiers, automatic table assignment when tables become available, customer notifications, and integration with web-based waitlist for remote sign-ups.

What kind of reporting and analytics does the app provide?

Pool Hall Master offers comprehensive analytics including real-time revenue tracking with live updates, table utilization reports showing busy periods and peak times, player statistics and session history, daily/weekly/monthly/yearly summaries, membership analytics, staff performance metrics, and visual charts for quick insights. All data is presented in an intuitive Apple-style interface.

Is my data secure and what happens if I lose internet connectivity?

Pool Hall Master is local-first. Tables, timers, players and checkout live on your iPad and keep working with no internet at all — nothing from a shift is lost during an outage. On Free and Base, your data never leaves the device. On Pro, changes sync to the cloud when the connection returns so every iPad, TV display and your website stay in step, and staff sign in with their own accounts and roles. Your venue's customer data belongs to you and you can export it any time.

How much does Pool Hall Master cost?

Free Play runs through January 31, 2027: every venue that installs before then gets the full app at no charge. After that there are three plans. Free runs up to 3 tables on one iPad. Base is a one-time $799 purchase (founding venues: $599) for unlimited tables on one iPad, with all updates and two years of priority support. Pro adds $149 a month for Square, customer texting (1,500 texts included), self-serve waitlist, website bookings with deposits, TV displays, Wallet passes, multi-iPad sync and staff accounts. Venues set up before Free Play ends get their first three months of Pro free. Everything is bought in the app through the App Store.
