The Game Zone Add-On is a comprehensive management system designed to help administrators oversee all aspects of a gaming facility from a single platform. It covers the full operational workflow, from configuring game zones and managing the game library to handling player registrations, game rentals, membership plans, and food orders. The Add-On also includes a dedicated payments module to track and manage all financial transactions. Each section is built to work in connection with the others, ensuring that data such as zones, games, players, and benefits flows consistently across the platform.
