The problem
Most play-cafe owners juggle a booking tool, a POS, a forms app for waivers, a separate party CRM, a spreadsheet for memberships, and a chat channel for cleaning checklists — none of which talk to each other. Play Sundae replaces all of it with one system that knows the parent booking a party is the same family walking in for open play and the same one buying a latte at the cafe.
What's inside
- Online booking — open play, parties, events, and member benefits on one branded, customer-facing site.
- Party invites with waiver collection — hosts share a link, guest parents sign ahead of time, and check-in is done before the party starts.
- Cafe POS — touch-grid ordering with modifiers, member perks, and sales reports; pre-orders attached to bookings appear at check-in.
- Memberships — recurring Stripe billing with monthly perks the cafe redeems at the POS.
- Daily task tracker — opening checklists, cleaning rounds, and party prep, replacing the printed list by the register.
- The Scoop dashboard — an at-a-glance day timeline of parties and open-play capacity; click any slot to see who's playing.
Play Sundae started as the internal tooling for Hey, Let's Play! in Benton, Arkansas — built by an owner tired of paying hundreds a month for software that still needed spreadsheet exports. Now it's opening up to other cafe owners.
Where it's going
Play Sundae is a live, growing product with its own home on the web. If you run an indoor play cafe — or you're building a software product of your own — we'd love to talk.
