Move off legacy. Cuetronix is the modern upgrade SmartLaunch never built.
SmartLaunch served a generation of internet cafes well, but the world has changed: venues are mobile-first, cloud-native and multi-vertical. Cuetronix is what an internet-cafe operator would build today if they started from scratch — browser-accessible, mobile-friendly, Razorpay-ready, with booking, cafe, tournaments, loyalty and staff payroll all included.
TL;DR
SmartLaunch was built for the internet-cafe era. Cuetronix is a modern cloud venue OS — multi-vertical, mobile-first, with online booking, Razorpay, tournaments, staff payroll and attendance built in.
Pricing
