Transparent, Affordable Booking Software for UK Soft Play Centres
Posso is designed specifically for soft play venues with integrated café EPOS and locker management, but its quote-based pricing and bundled hardware requirements can prove prohibitively expensive for independent play centres, role play cafés, and sensory play spaces.
SmartBookings provides an agile, browser-based online booking engine that gives UK soft play operators full control over capacity, timed play slots, and birthday parties without locking you into expensive proprietary till hardware.
