How to Book a Gaming Café for a Group of Friends
Getting five friends to the same café at the same time is harder than the game you're going to play. Here's how to make group bookings painless.
Pick the time first
Use the session planner to find a window that works for everyone, then book. Booking before everyone agrees on a time is the number-one reason group sessions fall apart.
Book stations together
Book all the stations in one go so you sit side by side. For a 5-stack, check the café actually has five PCs in a row — not five scattered across the floor.
Split the cost fairly
Agree up front whether snacks are shared. One person booking and everyone paying them back by UPI is the simplest approach.
