Multiplexes

Multiplex Management Software

A multiplex is not a bigger single-screen cinema. Staggered showtimes, overlapping intervals, higher staff counts, and parking volume create operational problems that simply do not exist at smaller sites. Picovico is built for that complexity.

This page is for you if

  • Four or more screens on one site
  • Staggered showtimes across screens
  • Multiple concession counters or points of sale
  • A staff roster spanning several roles and shifts
  • On-site parking to manage

What gets in the way — and how Picovico handles it

Scheduling across screens is done in a spreadsheet

Show scheduling handles screen allocation, staggering, and special events in one place. Conflicts are surfaced before they are published rather than discovered by a customer.

Every interval hits the concession counters at once

Staggering intervals is only useful if your counters can absorb the peak. One-tap combos and pre-set popular orders cut transaction time, which is the constraint that actually determines concession revenue during a rush.

Screen utilisation is guessed rather than measured

Occupancy is reported per screen and per showtime alongside revenue per seat. A screen running at forty percent on a premium slot is a different problem from the same figure on a discounted matinee, and the reporting distinguishes them.

More staff means less direct oversight

Role-based access and a full transaction audit trail mean accountability does not depend on a manager watching every counter. Staff activity is reportable by shift and by person.

Parking congestion affects the customer experience before the film starts

Parking links to movie bookings for validated or discounted entry, and digital validation moves vehicles through the gate faster. Parking revenue is tracked alongside tickets and concessions rather than sitting in a separate system.

Ticketing, food, and parking run on three disconnected systems

Running them on one platform means spend per admission is a number you can actually see, rather than something you reconstruct by reconciling separate exports.

Rolling out across multiple screens

Setup covers every auditorium's seat map, your pricing structure, screen scheduling rules, and concession catalogue. Training is run by role — box office, concessions, and management each get sessions relevant to what they will actually do. Larger sites typically take longer than a single-screen cinema, and we schedule the transition around your quieter periods rather than asking you to close.

Common Questions

Can Picovico manage staggered showtimes across many screens?

Yes. Show scheduling handles screen allocation, staggered start times, and special events centrally, and surfaces scheduling conflicts before showtimes are published.

Can we run multiple concession counters on one system?

Yes. Multiple points of sale operate against shared live inventory, so stock levels stay accurate across counters and low-stock alerts reach every terminal.

How does Picovico help with screen utilisation?

Occupancy rate and revenue per seat are reported per screen and per showtime, not just ticket volume. This distinguishes a genuinely weak slot from a high-volume, low-yield one.

Can we control what different staff members can access?

Yes. Access is role-based, and every transaction carries an audit trail reportable by shift and by staff member, so accountability does not depend on direct supervision.

Does Picovico handle cinema parking?

Yes. Parking is a built-in module. Parking tickets can be linked to movie bookings for validated or discounted parking, with digital validation to reduce gate congestion and parking revenue tracked alongside tickets and concessions.
