Provide Wi-Fi hotspot support (wireless billing)

Charge the customers of your cafe, club, shop, hotel, etc. when they connect their laptops, PDAs or any other mobile devices to your access point (Wi-Fi hotspot) and use the Internet to surf the web, read emails or chat via an instant messenger. Use white list feature to specify Wi-Fi billing exceptions.

Utilize pre-paid tickets (time codes)

Create, print, sell, delete or recover pre-paid tickets. Distribute tickets among your employees (agents). Keep track of a ticket status. Delete all unused tickets. Use a ticket to top-up a customer session. Create promotional tickets.

Setup any complicated pricing

Configure pricing per minute, hour, an item or setup a table of fixed sums that are added to a bill; round amount of a service; setup taxing (included in or excluded of the price). Create a number of time zones with distinct pricing for each one. Setup amount-dependent pricing (e.g. 1 hour = $5, 2 hours = $7, etc.). Create service packages for each type of customers you have (standard customers, students, employees, VIP, etc.).

Setup point-of-sale

Sell products in your shop, club, cafe, etc. Make a walk-in (guest) and member sales, select multiple items into a bill, add/remove items from a bill. Print a receipt on a receipt printer or any other printer. Make your unique receipt design.

Use inventory system

Control available amount of your items in the stock. Use your barcode scanner when you sell the items.

Calculate Internet traffic and browse URL log

CuteHotspot calculates amount of Intenet traffic for a user's session. URL log: keep track of the Internet websites and pages which a customer opens on his terminal.

Limit Internet bandwidth

You can specify some Internet bandwidth usage limit for every customer terminal. Depending on a pricing package, a bandwidth limit can be 64, 96, 128, etc. kbps or unlimited.

Use shifts to control your operators

Control your operators and cash flow using the shift management feature.

Every operator computer is considered as a cash desk so that each shift is linked to the corresponding cash desk. When an operator starts working with the program collecting any payment, starting/stopping customer sessions, etc., he has to start a shift. When he finishes working with the software, he stops his shift.

Analyze your business data

Use CuteHotspot Reports to analyze your business data: the list of customers detailed by sessions and services provided; the list of services detailed by customers; the list of sessions; the list of system events (changes in the state of computers, the start/stop of the server, etc.).

Backup your data and settings

Backup and restore CuteHotspot database. Configure a backup schedule to backup your data and settings automatically. Clean up the database.
