Snooker King
Rentals and Deposits
Rentals in Snooker King let a snooker or billiard centre rent out lockers, rooms and parking bays by the hour, day, month or year, with refundable deposits and late fees. The Deposits page tracks every refundable deposit collected from rentals and at the POS counter, showing what is held, refunded or forfeited. It is used by centres that rent cue lockers or private rooms, and by managers who reconcile deposits.
