Snooker Club Operations, Maintenance & Staff Management SOPs
Quick summary: Consistent table maintenance (daily brushing with the nap, weekly temperature-controlled ironing, daily ball polishing) extends cloth lifespan by 40%–60%, while structured shift handovers and digital billing eliminate employee cash leakage.
1. Daily Table Care Routine
- Brushing: Always brush table cloth in a straight line from the baulk line toward the top cushion (along the nap), never back-and-forth across the cloth.
- Vacuuming: Use a specialized low-suction cloth vacuum attachment twice a week to extract deep chalk dust without stretching fibers.
- Ironing: Use a thermostatically controlled snooker iron (heated to ~45°C) to press the nap flat, ensuring fast, true ball roll.
- Ball Polishing: Clean Aramith tournament balls with approved cleaning fluid after every 10 frames to prevent kickbacks and bad contacts.
2. Staff Shift Handover Protocol
- Count physical counter cash drawer and log amount into JustClub.
- Verify total recorded UPI payments on the counter soundbox/banking app.
- Reconcile open table sessions and ensure all active tabs have identified players.
- Submit end-of-shift declaration report directly to the owner via WhatsApp.
