How to make an app for a badminton court

A badminton hall is a grid of courts and hours: court 3 at 7 PM is booked, court 1 at 6 AM belongs to a monthly group, and two rackets are out on hire. An app shows that grid for the day, keeps monthly slot holders and their renewals, and counts shuttles sold, so the counter never gives one court to two groups.

Who uses the app

The owner and the counter. For players to see open courts and book from their own phones, connect your own Supabase database; to take payment online, connect your Razorpay account too.

The screens a badminton court app needs

Court grid: Courts across and hours down for any day: open, booked, monthly holder, coaching
New booking: Player's name and phone, court, hour, rate and paid or not
Monthly slots: Groups holding a fixed court and hour, the month they paid for and renewal due date
Book a court: For players, with a database: open courts by hour and a button to pay
Counter sales: Racket hire, shoe hire and shuttles sold, with stock left
Earnings: Court hours sold, monthly plans, coaching fees and counter sales by day and month

Features worth asking for

Monthly slot holders blocked on the grid for their days and hour, so nobody else gets that court
Peak rate applied automatically to the hours you set
Renewal list of monthly slot holders whose month ends this week, with a WhatsApp reminder
Shuttle stock counted down with each sale, with a low stock list
Coaching batches shown on the grid so courts kept for coaching can't be sold
A UPI QR on the counter screen, and Razorpay for online booking once connected

Where the data lives

If only the counter takes bookings, data can stay on the counter phone. For players to book open courts from their own phones, connect your own Supabase database, and connect Razorpay to take the court fee online; the money goes to your account.

Tips for a badminton court app

Enter monthly slot holders first; they fill your mornings and evenings and decide what is left for hourly booking.
Block coaching hours on the grid before opening online booking.
Decide whether a monthly holder who misses a day can shift to another hour, and tell AppCub the rule.
Count shuttles in the unit you buy them, tubes or pieces, so stock matches your bills.
Ask for Malayalam or Hindi labels if your counter staff prefer them.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to court lights, gate locks or card machines. Reminders to monthly groups go out when the counter taps the WhatsApp button, not by themselves.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app show all courts and hours on one screen?

Yes. A court grid shows each court across and each hour down, coloured by open, booked, monthly holder or coaching.

Can monthly players keep the same court every day?

Yes. A monthly slot blocks that court and hour on the days chosen, and the renewals list shows when they must pay again.

Can players book a court from their phone?

Yes, with your own Supabase database. They see open courts by hour and can pay with Razorpay once it is connected.

Can the app keep count of shuttles sold?

Yes. Each sale lowers the stock, and a list shows when to reorder.

Can I keep courts aside for coaching?

Yes. Ask for coaching batches to block their court and hours, so those slots can't be booked.

Can the app send a reminder on my phone when it is time to renew monthly groups?

Yes. The installed app can show a reminder on the counter phone at a set time; it may arrive a few minutes late.
