GameLedger Rulebook
The Turn Sequence
Booked. Picked. Played.
Maximize revenue per table with the first OS built for board game cafés. From smart bookings to instant game discovery and automated inventory tracking, GameLedger turns operational chaos into a seamless guest experience.
When guests pick games in 2 minutes instead of 20, they order more rounds. When staff aren't explaining rules, they're delivering hospitality. GameLedger is built to drive higher F&B spend and more return bookings.

No app download, no login. Guest scans and your host stand sees the table go live — one less thing for staff to track.

🎲 Chapter II
Friday Night? Smooth.
Every minute a guest spends staring at shelves is a minute they're not ordering another round. Every staff interrupt is hospitality you're not delivering elsewhere. GameLedger turns chaos into revenue.
- Flip the ratio: Turn 20 minutes of shelf-staring into 2 minutes of picking and more time playing.
- Staff interruptions for recommendations and teaching drop dramatically.
- Inventory damage and missing parts are tracked and acted upon immediately.

Common Questions
For Owners & Managers
How hard is it to import my game library?▼
It's instant. We integrate directly with the BoardGameGeek (BGG) API. You don't need to manually type in player counts, playtimes, or complexity ratings—just select your games and we pull the metadata automatically.
Does this replace my reservation system?▼
Yes. GameLedger includes a native booking system that understands your inventory. However, if you prefer your current tool, we can operate as a “Library OS” alongside it—though you lose the benefit of preventing “Ghost Tables.”
How does the library management work?▼
We track every play session. If a guest or staff flags a game as “Damaged,” it is instantly removed from the recommendation engine. You get a dashboard showing exactly which games are earning their keep and which should be retired.
