Built around the host's evening

Replace scattered lists with one structured event

Handwritten sign-ups and score sheets can work for a small night, but they become difficult to keep current when people join, matches overlap and the room keeps asking what happens next. PubPlay gives those jobs a clear digital sequence.

01

Reduce sign-up handling

Put the event QR code where customers can scan it, while the host watches the participant list on the tablet.

02

Keep play moving

Use the active fixtures and recorded results to answer who plays next without rewriting a board after every match.

03

Keep spectators informed

Open the browser display on the pub TV so current play, standings and outcomes are visible beyond the host desk.

A practical first night

Start with one tablet, one event and one display

The host controls the event from the Android app. Customers need only a phone browser, and the TV view runs separately in a browser-connected display.

Practical questions

Before you run the night

What does the pub need for the first event?

The host needs a compatible Android tablet and internet access. Players use their phone browsers, and the optional public display needs a browser-connected TV, streaming device or computer.

Can staff test PubPlay before a busy public night?

Yes. Staff can create a small event and practise joining, fixtures, scoring and the TV display before using it with a full room.

Who can answer UK venue questions?
