Load-shedding is the constraint everything else bends around

Any South African venue plans around losing power, and billing software that keeps its state on the counter PC is exactly the wrong shape for that. GameBiller times every session on the server. If the counter machine dies mid-session, the timer keeps running where it actually lives; sign in again from a phone or any other device and the correct elapsed time is there, along with everything already added to the bill.

That also covers the smaller version of the same problem, which happens far more often: a browser tab closed by accident, a machine restarted by a staff member, or a second person opening the dashboard on another device. None of those lose a running seat.

What it does not do is bill while you are fully offline. A sustained outage with no connectivity means the counter cannot take payment — that is the honest trade for not trusting a single PC with your day's takings.

ZAR pricing and VAT, without a spreadsheet

Prices, invoices and reports are all in rand, formatted the way local customers read them. VAT appears as its own line at the rate you set, and the taxable value and tax collected export for any date range.

Prepaid time fits the local habit of paying up front: sell hours as a balance that draws down as customers play, with a warning on screen before it runs out rather than an abrupt stop.

Questions from South Africa

What happens to a running session during load-shedding?

The session is timed on the server, not in the browser, so it keeps its state even if the counter PC loses power. When you are back online, opening the dashboard from any device shows the correct elapsed time and the items already on the bill. You cannot take payment while completely offline, but you do not lose the session.

Does GameBiller bill in rand?

Yes. Choose South Africa during setup and ZAR is used for every price, invoice and report, formatted for local customers. There is no manual conversion anywhere in the app.

Are the invoices VAT-compliant?

VAT prints as a separate line from the taxable amount on every invoice, at the rate you configure, and you can pull the taxable value and tax collected for any period when filing. GameBiller never assumes a rate, so a rate change is one field rather than a software update.

Can I sell prepaid time rather than billing afterwards?

Yes. Sell hours as a prepaid balance that draws down live while the customer plays. They are warned on screen as it runs low, and topping up resumes play on the same seat.

Do I need to install anything on my machines?

The billing side runs entirely in a browser, so no. If you want gaming PCs locked until a customer has paid, there is an optional Windows agent for that — it works on Windows Home and does not need domain policies.
