Roftr Teams Up with Karur Cinemas for Flawless Online Ticket Booking

Enjoying movies in theatres is a delightful and premier form of entertainment. However, the process of reserving seats can be cumbersome, with customers often facing long queues for tickets or opting for online bookings at their convenience. To address this challenge, theater owners require efficient technology to enhance the booking experience for their customers.

In India, industry leaders such as Bookmyshow and Ticketnew dominate the online ticketing service sector. In Tamil Nadu, Ticketnew holds the majority of theaters in Chennai, while both Ticketnew and Bookmyshow manage theaters in other districts. 

Although numerous software providers offer online ticket booking solutions, only a few have gained the trust of theatre owners. Roftr is one such company that pioneered online movie ticket booking services in 2011, starting with Senthil Kumaran Theaters in Coimbatore and later expanding to Baba Cinemas (Arachana and Darasana), Krithika Cinemas and Sivam Theatre.

Roftr has successfully extended its ticket booking service to all Karur district theatres at KarurCinemas.com . Prior to 2015, online reservations were not available in Karur theaters. However, Roftr gained the trust of theater owners in the region due to its adaptability to their Terms and Conditions.

Beyond facilitating online ticket bookings, Roftr's software for theaters includes various modules aimed at streamlining operations and reducing paperwork. These modules encompass Daily Sales reports, User-level access for Managers/Box Office and Theater Owners, DCR reports, Daily Tax invoices, Monthly Tax invoices, and other features. These additions save time for theater-related tasks and contribute to a more efficient and organized workflow.

Why is online booking/reservation essential for theaters? 

During the release of blockbuster movies featuring star heroes or during special festival seasons like Diwali and Pongal, the manual process of ticket reservation becomes hectic. Managing physical tickets can lead to issues such as loss or lack of records, causing headaches for theater owners, particularly during peak times.

Theaters need reliable software that maintains comprehensive records of reservations and current show bookings. This software stores customer data linked to the respective movie, show date, and show time, ensuring a stress-free movie-watching experience, efficient accounting, and a shift towards paperless operations.
