After you sign in for the first time, Pool Hall Master walks you through a short setup wizard. It captures the absolute basics — your name, your business name, how many tables you have, and your default hourly rate — so you can be running sessions within a couple of minutes. Everything you set here can be changed later in Settings.
Step 1 — Your name
The first card asks for your First Name and Last Name. This is the name we’ll use to greet you inside the app and to show the owner identity on the account.
Step 2 — Business name
Enter the name of your pool hall in the Business Name field — for example, Downtown Billiards. This is the name customers will see on their waitlist confirmations, SMS messages, and player passes.
Step 3 — Number of tables
Use the stepper under Number of Tables to set how many physical tables you have on the floor. You can pick any number from 1 to 32.
Step 4 — Default hourly rate
Enter your default hourly rate (e.g. $15.00 / hr). This is the rate that will be used when no other pricing rule applies. You’ll be able to layer on Rate Rules (time-of-day, member tiers, table-type rates, etc.) later under Settings → Tables & Pricing.
Step 5 — Flat rate per table (optional)
Below the rate field is a Flat Rate (Per Table) toggle:
- Off (default) — Charge per person. Each player on a table is tracked individually and billed for their own time.
- On — Charge per table. One rate covers the entire table no matter how many players are on it.
Most rooms leave this off and use per-player tracking. Bar-style rooms with coin-op tables often switch it on.
Finishing setup
Tap Get Started at the bottom of the card. You’ll see a confirmation screen titled “You’re All Set!” with three checkmarks:
- Business configured
- Tables set up
- Ready to track time
Tap Start Managing to land on the Floor.
