The club

The tables

Racks prides itself on its facilities and friendly service, and it's family owned. The club has undergone a complete refurbishment giving it a fresh and modern outlook.

There are eight snooker tables split over two floors — four of them match quality standard — three American pool tables and ten English pool tables, all maintained and kept to a high standard.

We're a private members club offering Full, Junior (under 18) and Senior (65+) membership. Members get cheaper hourly rates on all our tables, half-rate tables Monday to Friday all day for solo players, and marathon rates day and night, seven days a week.

This is a look ahead, not the first job. The first job is the site around it — secure, on a phone, up to date. Online booking is a proper project in its own right: it needs the club's diary, a view for staff behind the bar, and a walk-in quota so regulars who just turn up are never locked out. Nothing behind the bar has to change on day one. Try the flow anyway — it shows where the site can go.

Same phase: the live board

The board behind the bar, on the home page — what's free right now across all twenty-one tables, without ringing to ask. It reads the same club diary the booking flow writes to, which is why the two belong in the same phase.

The version shown here is simulated. The feature menu has the honest build-or-buy numbers for when this phase is worth talking about.

The board behind the bar, on a phone, from home. That's the whole idea.

Snooker

Call to book

Eight full-size snooker tables split over two floors — five on the first floor next to the bar, and three match tables on the second floor, in a quieter area of the club. All tables are brushed, ironed and maintained to a high standard. Our resident professional Dylan Leary wouldn't have it any other way.

The club supports local teams, and there are often matches on up the club — a great atmosphere, and some great players to watch. Tables get busy at peak times, so members can ring ahead to reserve one.

Cues, rests and spiders are all provided. If you'd rather use your own, the Cue Zone will re-tip it while you play.

Build or buy?

Off-the-shelf booking runs ~$29 a table a month — roughly $600 a month across 21 tables, forever. Built into the club's own site it's a one-off, and the customer data stays with the club. Both numbers belong in front of the owner.
