Bar pool table atmosphere

Ditch the Chalkboard.
Stop Leaking Money.

The digital queue and payment system for bar pool tables. Players scan a QR code to get in line, get a text when it's their turn, and pay right from their phone. Your bartenders stop playing referee, and you keep 100% of your hourly rate.

How It Works

Two screens.
Zero headaches.

For your players

Customers scan a QR code, pick their game type, add a payment method, and they're in. No chalkboard arguments, no flagging down a bartender. If every table is full, they join the waitlist and get a text the second one opens up.

For your bar

Your dashboard shows every table in real time: who's playing, how long they've been on, and how much they owe. End a session with one tap and the customer's card is charged automatically. No more lost revenue from forgetting to collect, and no more staff time wasted managing a queue.

How much are your tables costing you?

Move the sliders. See the damage.

Table leakage is the revenue that silently disappears every shift. It's the five minutes between groups where no one's paying, the bartender rounding a 42-minute session down to “about half an hour,” and the idle table during peak hours that nobody noticed was open.

Most bars lose 15–25% of potential table revenue to these invisible gaps. The calculator below shows what that looks like at your scale.

Cost to fix it with PoolQ: $59/month.

How It Works

Three steps. No app. No friction.

1

Scan

Players scan the QR code on your table. No app download, no account needed. Just their phone camera.

2

Queue

They join the digital waitlist and get a live position update. When it's their turn, they get a text.

3

Pay

Time is tracked automatically. When they're done, they pay from their phone. You get 100% of your rate.


Zero Dead Time.

Automated SMS alerts keep tables full. If they don't claim it in 3 minutes, it goes to the next guy.

End Stolen Time.

Track every minute. No more bartenders rounding down to make the math easier.

Zero Processing Fees.

Players pay a small tech fee. You keep 100% of your table rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before going live.

Nope. Players just scan the QR code with their phone camera. It opens right in the browser. No download, no sign-up.

Your bartender can add them to the queue manually from the dashboard. They'll still get all the benefits of tracked time and table assignment.

Payments go straight to your connected Stripe account. You receive your full table rate. Players cover the small PoolQ tech fee separately.

Most venues are live in under 15 minutes. Just print the QR codes, stick them on your tables, and you're good to go.

Absolutely. You set your hourly rate per table, and you can change it anytime from the dashboard. Happy-hour pricing, weekend rates, whatever you want.

A card is authorized when they join the queue. If they walk out, the session is auto-closed and the card is charged for the time used.
