All-in-one play area software for indoor playgrounds and soft play centres, with bilingual digital waivers, fast family check-in, live session timers, memberships, payments, and daily reporting.
Twelve families arrive in ten minutes. One parent is filling in a paper waiver on a clipboard. Another swears she signed one last month, and nobody can find it. There are three kitchen timers on the desk and your team cannot remember which one belongs to the boy in the red socks. Someone's 90 minutes ended twenty minutes ago. The queue is out the door and the till has not been opened yet.
That afternoon is where play areas lose money — in unbilled overtime, in families who walk out of the queue, and in the hour after closing spent trying to work out what the day actually took.
Playdesk is built for that afternoon.
A first-time parent reads your waiver in English or Arabic and signs it with a finger. It is saved against their name along with exactly which children it covers. Next visit there is nothing to sign and nothing to file. If a waiver is close to expiring, your team sees it before the family reaches the desk.
Search a phone number and the whole family appears — parent, children, membership, and past visits. Tap the children playing today and pick the session length. Any allergy or safety note appears immediately. Adding a new family takes about a minute and saves them for future visits.
Add the session, grip socks, and refreshments to one bill, then record cash or card. Card payments still go through your existing bank terminal. If the family has a membership or visit pack, Playdesk deducts the visit automatically and shows the remaining balance.
One screen shows every child inside and how long each has left. Sessions running low turn amber so staff can offer an extension before overtime becomes an argument. Checkout and extension are each one tap.
At closing, see the day's takings split by cash and card, sessions sold, memberships signed, and activity by hour. No counting slips and no spreadsheet.
Playdesk replaces paper waiver folders, kitchen timers, and disconnected till records with one clear operating screen. Staff can find a family, see each child and any allergy or safety note, start the right play session, collect payment, and monitor everyone currently inside. Owners get accurate AED sales, occupancy, membership, and branch reporting without rebuilding the day in a spreadsheet.
Every screen keeps the important decision visible: who is playing, how long they have left, whether consent is valid, what the family owes, and how the day is performing.
See every active child and countdown at a glance. Overdue sessions, grace periods, and remaining time are visually distinct, so staff can act before overtime becomes a problem.
Parents read in English or Arabic, sign on screen, and choose photo and marketing permissions separately. Playdesk records the signer, children covered, document version, and expiry.
Sell visit packs and unlimited plans to a child or the whole family. Staff see active memberships and remaining visits immediately, without checking a spreadsheet or asking a manager.
Open the dashboard from a laptop or phone to see today's occupancy, sales, transactions, and membership activity. Trends turn counter activity into decisions you can use.
Signed on screen at the desk, stored against the parent, and findable in seconds if anyone ever asks.
The things a parent tells you once and expects every member of staff to remember.
Move returning families from arrival to play in seconds instead of rebuilding their details
Reduce queues, missed waiver renewals, and unbilled overtime during peak sessions
Put allergy and safety information in front of staff exactly when a child checks in
Close the day with reliable cash, card, product, membership, and occupancy figures

A returning family takes seconds: search their phone number, select the children playing, choose the session length, and take payment. A first visit takes a few minutes because of the waiver, then nothing needs signing again until it expires.
Yes. Add an allergy, asthma, medical, or authorized-collection note to a child and it appears in front of whoever checks that child in. The parent tells you once and every member of staff knows from then on.
Yes. Every waiver can be provided in English and Arabic. The parent chooses the language, and Playdesk records which version they signed and which children it covers.
No. Keep using your bank's card terminal. Playdesk records whether a sale was cash or card so the day balances at closing; card details never enter Playdesk.
An interrupted sale does not become two sales when the connection returns, so a family is not charged twice.
Most single venues are live within a week, including prices, session lengths, waiver wording, staff accounts, and desk training. Counter staff usually learn the system in about fifteen minutes.
Playdesk records who signed, which document version, which children it covers, when it was signed, and when it expires. Your legal or insurance adviser should approve the wording itself, or the waiver review add-on can arrange a UAE-qualified review.
Yes. Open the owner dashboard on your phone to see today's takings, current occupancy, and how the week compares.
No. Each branch keeps its own prices, staff, memberships, and reports while you see everything from one owner login. Staff at one branch do not see another branch's customers or takings.
Keep them for your records. From launch day, everyone signs on screen, and each returning family is added to Playdesk on its first visit.
Twenty minutes with your session lengths, prices, and waiver loaded in — not a generic slideshow. If Playdesk is not right for your venue, we will tell you.
No card is required for the trial. Nothing to install.
