Slot Master
Concept:
The rate per hour you charge for your walk-in customers (non-members) need not be the same through out the day. You can fix up different rates to be charged at different time intervals in a day. Each such time interval during which you charge a new rate is called a Slot.
For e.g. MTNL, one of the most well known telephone exchange of India, has divided the entire day into different time intervals and, fixed a different rate for each one of them. Table 1.3 below shows a sample:
Time Interval (Slots) |
Rate |
8:00 AM - 7:00 PM |
Full |
7:00 PM - 11:00 PM |
1/3 |
11:00 PM - 8:00 AM |
1/2 |
As shown in the sample table above, MTNL has divided the entire day into 3 slots and fixed up an appropriate rate for each one of them.
You use this 'Slot Master' if, you also decide to keep such kind of slot system in your cyber cafe.
Refer section I do not want multiple time slots ! if, you do not want to keep a multi-rate system as described above.
