The Hidden Cost

Damaged Games & Missing Pieces Are Bleeding Revenue

Every incomplete game that makes it to a table costs you: a frustrated customer, a bad review, and a game you can't sell or recommend. Most cafes don't know a game is damaged until it's too late.

Problem

The Missing Piece

Guest discovers halfway through setup that critical pieces are gone. Session ruined.

Problem

The Silent Damage

Box looks fine on the shelf, but the rulebook is torn and tokens are scratched.

Problem

The Dusty Shelf

Games nobody plays take up space. Without data, you don't know which to retire.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the BGG import work?
Simply search for games by name and we pull all the metadata directly from the BoardGameGeek API—player counts, playtime, complexity ratings, descriptions, and images. You can add your entire 500+ game library in minutes instead of weeks of manual data entry.
How do staff log game conditions?
At the end of each session, staff can mark a game's condition with one tap: Good, Minor Issue, or Needs Repair. If flagged, they can add a quick note like 'Missing red dice' or 'Box corner damaged'. The system automatically removes damaged games from recommendations until fixed.
What analytics do I get about my library?
GameLedger tracks play frequency, average session duration, condition history, and popularity trends. You'll see which games are earning their shelf space and which are gathering dust—data you need to make smart purchasing and retirement decisions.
Can I track multiple copies of the same game?
Yes. Each physical copy gets its own tracking record. So if you have 3 copies of Catan, you can see which specific copy has condition issues, which gets played most often, and manage them independently.
