Features

Everything a PS lounge needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

PsTally covers the full operational loop — sessions, shifts, staff, monitoring, and tournaments — in one cloud-based system built for PS lounge owners in Africa.

Session Management

Gaming lounge session tracking software

Real-time session tracking

Every console, every session, tracked the moment it starts. Assign a game, set the rate, and PsTally counts the time and calculates the cost automatically. No manual logging.

Multi-rate game billing

Different games bill at different rates. Set prices per game type — standard, premium, tournament mode — and PsTally applies the right rate to each session automatically.

Free game support

Mark certain games as free — a goodwill gesture or part of a package deal. Free sessions are tracked separately so your revenue numbers stay accurate.

Session history

Full log of every session ever run — console, duration, game, amount billed, staff on shift, payment method. Searchable and exportable.

Shift & Revenue

Gaming lounge shift reconciliation software

Shift reconciliation

Opening float, sessions billed, cashouts, expenses, closing float — PsTally tracks the full shift lifecycle. Discrepancies are calculated automatically. Staff can't close without the numbers.

WhatsApp shift report

When a shift closes, the full summary — total sessions, cash received, M-Pesa received, cashouts, and any discrepancies — is sent to your WhatsApp automatically. You see exactly what happened.

M-Pesa payment tracking

Log M-Pesa payments against sessions. Every shift report shows the cash/M-Pesa split so you always know how much came in on which payment method.

Cashout tracking

Staff cashouts are tracked per shift. Every product sold, every quick sale is logged. The shift report reconciles cashouts against expected revenue.

Staff Management

Gaming lounge staff management software

Staff PIN login

Each staff member has a PIN. They log in at shift start and out at shift end. Every session, cashout, and payment is tied to their shift — no ambiguity about who was responsible.

Shift handover

When one staff member's shift ends, they close with a full reconciliation. The next staff member opens with a new float. There's no gap between shifts where revenue goes untracked.

Multiple staff accounts

Add as many staff members as you have. Each has their own PIN and shift history. Owner can see all staff activity from the analytics dashboard.

Salary management

Log staff salaries and advances. Track what's been paid and what's outstanding. Keep payroll inside PsTally alongside the revenue data.

Console Monitoring

PS4 PS5 Xbox lounge monitoring software

Smart console monitoring — PS4, PS5 & Xbox

PsTally detects PS4, PS5 and Xbox activity over your local WiFi using each console's own network signal. No smart plugs, no power switches, nothing installed on the console. When a console turns on without an open session, you get an alert and ghost sessions are caught automatically.

Live console status

See which consoles are active, which are idle, and which have been running without a session — from anywhere, in real time. Check in from home, from the road, anytime.

Ghost session alerts

If a console is active but there's no session open, PsTally flags it. The monitoring panel shows unbilled activity so nothing slips through without being logged.

Remote visibility

The monitoring dashboard is available to the owner from any device. You don't need to be at the lounge to see what's happening. Check in anytime from your phone.

Tournaments

Gaming lounge tournament bracket software

Free tournament brackets

Create knockout, group stage, or group + knockout tournaments in seconds. Free for lounges, free for home gamers, and free for players — you don't even need a lounge to run one. No extra subscription.

Public bracket links

Every tournament gets a shareable public link. Players follow the bracket live on their phones — no sign-in required. Share on WhatsApp and the whole group stays updated.

Live score entry

Staff enter scores on a dedicated panel. Results update in real time across all devices. No paper brackets, no WhatsApp group polls.

Entry fee tracking

Tournament registration pages track who has paid and who is confirmed. Collect payment your way — PsTally tracks the records.

Analytics & Reporting

Gaming lounge revenue analytics

Revenue dashboard

Daily and weekly revenue trends, per-console performance, peak hours, and top games. The numbers you need without digging through a spreadsheet.

Debt tracking

Log customer debts when they play on credit. Track outstanding balances, record payments, and see total debt exposure at a glance.

Expense tracking

Log lounge expenses — electricity, consumables, maintenance — against revenue. See net income not just gross, and track where money is going.

Income overview

Consolidated income view across sessions, product sales, and other revenue streams. One place to see the full financial picture.

Products & Sales

Gaming lounge POS for drinks and snacks

Sell more than game time

Add your drinks, snacks, sweets — anything you stock — as products. Staff sell them in the same flow as a session, so the snack counter and the gaming counter are one system, not two.

Every sale on the shift

Each product sale is recorded against the staff shift, with cash and M-Pesa kept separate. Your snack money reconciles at closing instead of quietly disappearing.

Quick sales

Sell a soda in a couple of taps without opening a session — fast at the counter, fully logged underneath.

AI Assistant

AI assistant for gaming lounge owners

Ask your lounge anything

A built-in AI assistant with full access to your lounge's data. Ask in plain language — how much you made today, which console earned most, whether last night's shift looks right — and get an answer from your real numbers.

It tells you what's off

The assistant doesn't just report — it flags plainly when something looks suspicious, so you catch a problem shift before it becomes a habit.

Free Tools

free controller tester gaming lounge

Controller test

A free in-browser tester for PlayStation and Xbox controllers. Plug in a pad and check every button, trigger and thumbstick for drift or dead inputs in seconds — no download, no sign-up. Free for anyone, lounge or not.

Free tournament hosting

Run brackets for free whether you own a lounge or just want to host a FIFA night at home. Generate the bracket, share one link, and let players follow live scores on their phones.
