ArcadeHub — Gaming and Party Events Platform

We run a family entertainment center: over eighty arcade machines, a laser tag arena and two party rooms. We need one web application to tie the whole floor into a single system. The core is a wallet on a prepaid game card: a guest registers a physical RFID card or virtual one, tops it up online through a payment gateway, and the balance deducts at each machine tap. The system must serve a REST API that reader terminals call in real time: authorize the game, deduct credits and instantly return the balance. Each top-up generates a receipt, supports promotional bonuses (buy 100 credits, get 20 free) and lets parents set spending limits on a child's card. The second module is birthday and event booking: a calendar shows room availability by hour, families choose a package, guest count, menu and time slot, deposit online and get confirmation. Staff see the day's schedule on a dashboard. The third section is a ticket-to-prize catalog: machines award tickets to the card, and the catalog shows prizes with point prices, warehouse stock and photos, so a guest or cashier processes the redemption and inventory decreases. Add weekly and all-time leaderboards for each game, group packages with tiered pricing for schools and corporate clients, and a capacity control screen: it counts entries and exits against fire code limits and warns when the gym is full. The result: responsive frontend, admin panel, documented API, payment integration and startup data for launch.
