How to make an app for a box cricket turf

A turf earns by the hour, so a double-booked 10 PM slot or a no-show group costs real money. An app shows every slot of the day, who booked it, the advance paid and the rate for that time, and keeps regular teams and league fixtures in one place for the person at the gate.

Who uses the app

The owner and the turf manager. For players to see open slots and book from their own phones, connect your own Supabase database; to take advances online, connect your Razorpay account as well.

The screens a box cricket turf app needs

Slots: Today and the next 7 days in hourly slots: open, booked, advance paid, played
New booking: Group name, captain's phone, date, slot, rate for that hour and advance received
Book a slot: For players, with a database: open slots by day, the rate and a button to pay the advance
Regulars: Teams who play every week, with their usual slot and their past bookings
League: Teams, fixtures by date and slot, scores entered after each match and a points table
Earnings: Each day's slots played, advances and balances collected, by cash, UPI and online

Features worth asking for

Rates set by day and time, so the 9 PM Saturday slot is charged the weekend night rate
A booked slot can't be booked again, so two groups never turn up for the same hour
Advance and balance shown on each booking, with a WhatsApp reminder the day before
A UPI QR or Razorpay payment for the advance, once Razorpay is connected
Weekly regulars added to the calendar in one step for the month
League points table worked out from the results entered

Where the data lives

If only the manager books slots from WhatsApp messages, data can stay on his phone. For players to see open slots and book themselves, connect your own Supabase database, and connect Razorpay to take the advance online; the money goes to your account.

Tips for a box cricket turf app

Start with the manager-only version, and open player booking once the slot calendar matches how you work.
Set your rates by day and hour carefully; most turf arguments are about which rate applied.
Decide your rule for refunds when it rains or a group cancels, and put it on the booking screen.
Mark each slot as played after the game, so the earnings screen shows what really came in.
Ask for Gujarati or Hindi labels if your manager prefers them.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to floodlight switches, gate locks or CCTV, and it can't send booking messages by itself. Reminders reach groups when the manager taps the WhatsApp button.
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 players see open slots and book the turf themselves?

Yes, with your own Supabase database. Players see the open hourly slots, pick one and pay the advance if Razorpay is connected.

Can the app charge different rates for night and weekends?

Yes. Give AppCub your rate for each day and time band, and each booking takes the right rate.

Can the app stop two groups booking the same slot?

Yes. Once a slot is booked, it shows as taken and can't be booked again until it is cancelled.

Can I run a box cricket league in the app?

Yes. Ask for teams, fixtures, results and a points table that updates as you enter scores.

Can the app remind a group the day before their slot?

Yes. A list of tomorrow's bookings has a WhatsApp button with a ready reminder, and the manager sends it.

Can regular teams keep the same slot every week?

Yes. Ask for a regulars screen that adds a team's weekly slot to the calendar for the coming weeks.
