Session timers for hourly rental businesses
Remote Timers keeps every by-the-hour rental on the clock — party rooms, karaoke rooms, billiards tables, VR stations, batting cages. Each rental gets its own countdown display, the front desk starts and extends sessions from one dashboard, and guests check remaining time on any screen or by QR code.

When the hour ends, everyone should already know
Overruns eat the next booking's time, and ending a party feels bad when it's a surprise. A countdown at the rental keeps the session self-policing — guests watch their own clock, the desk gets an alert when a room is about to expire, and extensions become an easy upsell instead of an argument.
How it works
Give each rental a display
Party room TV, a monitor over the billiards table, a tablet at the VR station — open the timer URL and it's live.
Start from the desk with presets
Presets match your packages — '1-Hour Karaoke', '2-Hour Party Room'. Check the group in and start the clock in one click.
Extend or reset in one click
Sell more time and add it instantly, or reset the room the moment a group leaves so the next booking starts clean.
Everything your venue needs
A display for every rental
Rooms, tables, stations, and cages each run their own countdown on any screen with a browser.
One desk dashboard
Every rental's remaining time in a single view, so staff always know what ends next.
Presets for every package
One-click starts for the durations you sell — 30, 60, 120 minutes, whatever your menu says.
One-tap extensions
Add time the moment a guest pays for more — the display updates before they're back in the room.
Desk alerts before time's up
The dashboard highlights rentals approaching zero and can play a sound at the desk when one expires.
One link for the whole venue
The public venue page lists every rental's timer at a single link guests can open from the lobby.

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of rentals does it work for?
Anything sold by time: party rooms, karaoke rooms, billiards and pool tables, VR stations, batting cages, duck-pin lanes, private bays. If it has a screen nearby — or guests with phones — it can have a countdown.
Can guests check remaining time from their phones?
Yes. Every timer has a public link and QR code, so guests watch their session clock from their own devices without asking staff.
How do staff know a session is about to end?
The hub dashboard highlights timers approaching zero based on your warning threshold, and can play a sound at the desk when a session expires — so the desk acts before the guest notices.
Can we charge for extra time through the timer?
Remote Timers doesn't process payments — you sell the extension through your POS as usual, then add the time with one click and the room's display updates instantly.
What does it cost?
$14.99/month or $149.99/year with 5 timers and 10 display connections included. Extra timers are $2/month each. Every account starts with a 30-day free trial.
