Software on the guests’ PCs

Recon Play — a step ahead of the usual club shell

Ri talks to guests in Russian, Kazakh and English. At night the software checks ages by itself. Guests move seats, extend their time or order from the bar without leaving their seat.

Recon Play is part of the Recon base together with the till, stock, stock counts and accounting. The base is free, with no per-PC fee.

  • Russian, Kazakh, English
  • Works without internet
  • Updates while the PC is free
  • Fits diskless PCs

At the guest’s PC

What Recon Play can do

The end of a session is never a surprise

Five minutes before, Ri says it out loud, and extending takes two taps.

Ri speaks three languages

The guest picks a language and Ri speaks it. Listen to Ri reminding about the time:

At night — adults only

At 21:00 the software itself finds whom to check. The ID is not stored, only a mark.

Move seats — no admin needed

Free seats in a list; Recon Play works out the surcharge for a pricier hall itself.

A burger to your seat

An order from the PC goes straight to the operator. Pay from the balance or at the desk.

A review after every session

Before the guest leaves, Recon Play asks how it went. The answer shows up in the panel at once.

In the club panel

Stock counts and accounting — right in the system

Clubs usually keep a separate program or a notebook for this. In Recon it is in the same panel as the till.

A stock count you can’t fudge

The book quantity stays hidden until the staff member enters the actual count. A shortage is written off or charged to the staff member.

Accounting built in

A document posts its own entries; a posted one can’t be edited, only reversed with a reason. P&L and cash flow are in the same panel.

Usually and in Recon

Turned on with a button in the Workshop. Now in beta testing.

Club Telegram bot

Signing in to a PC with a button, seat booking, reviews and staff shifts — in Telegram, with no separate app. For now the bot speaks Russian.

Marketing

Hours in the club turn into levels and coins; before a game there are quests to choose from; clans have a treasury.

Game auto-update

Games on the club server update themselves when the hall is quiet. A game someone is playing is left alone.

Steam download blocker

Someone else’s hundred-gigabyte game won’t download, while updates of installed games go through as usual.

Remote PC check

Support sees a PC’s screen and load and tests new versions without a trip to the club.

Questions

The main things in brief

How much does Recon Play cost?

Recon Play is part of the free Recon base together with the till, stock, stock counts and accounting. Modules are connected separately and are in beta testing now.

What if the club loses internet?

The club keeps working. The Recon server is on your premises and the guests’ PCs work with it over the local network, so sign-in, time and the bar don’t depend on the provider.

Does it fit diskless PCs?

Yes. Recon Play goes into the image once and then updates itself while the PC is free.

Can a guest get out to Windows?

No. Guests get the club’s games, apps and bar. Only the admin gets out to Windows, with their own staff account.
