Gaming Café PC Maintenance: A Weekly and Monthly Checklist
Team HangOn·20 Apr 2026·5 min read
A broken station is lost revenue and a bad review. A simple routine prevents most problems.
Daily
- Wipe keyboards, mice, controllers and headsets.
- Check every station boots and connects.
- Log any faults in one shared place.
Weekly
- Install game and launcher updates outside peak hours.
- Replace worn mouse feet and sticky keys.
- Clear temporary files and old logins.
Monthly
- Blow out dust from PCs and consoles.
- Check temperatures under load.
- Review which stations are booked least — and why.
