North of Boston, in Woburn, there's an indoor play space built around a simple promise: parents get to breathe while little ones explore. Petit Play Café pairs curated play zones for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers with a French-inspired café, so a Tuesday morning can be good for both sides of the table. Our job was to make the business side just as calm.
Pricing that is actually the pricing
Petit Play has a few ways to visit: drop in for the day, buy a five-visit play pass to share between siblings, or join as a monthly member. Drop-in play is $25 for the first child and $15 for each sibling, and babies under eight months are free. Instead of typing those numbers into a web page and hoping nobody forgets to update them, the website reads prices straight from Play Sundae. Change a rate in the console and the site, the checkout, and the register all agree by the time you close the tab.
Passes, memberships, and parties in one place
Every play pass and membership sold online lands in the same system the front desk uses. When a family walks in, staff look them up by name, redeem a visit, and move on. Birthday parties book through a guided wizard that lets the owner decide whether families pick a package tier or build their own, with add-ons that only appear when the chosen package doesn't already include them. Classes and pop-up events post to the calendar once and show up on the website automatically.
The details that keep a play café running
Sibling pricing has to be right on the receipt, not just the sign. Waivers need to be signed once, not every visit. Memberships need clear terms and an easy cancel. We built each of those into Play Sundae so Petit Play never has to work around its software. The same platform powers Catalillies Play Café in Virginia and Hey, Let's Play! in Arkansas, and every improvement for one cafe ships to all of them.
Why it matters
A play café earns its living on repeat visits. Passes and memberships make coming back the default, and a website that sells them from a phone at naptime keeps the calendar full. That's the point of Play Sundae: less time in tabs, more time on the floor with families.
