One connected system for shows, tickets, concessions and film settlements.
Manage screens, show schedules, seat sales, snack counters, film bookings and distributor returns in one system. Each show carries its film, its seat map, its price bands and its sales from the first booking to the final settlement. The box office, kiosks and website sell against the same seats. The snack counter draws down its own stock. Managers close the day from one record.
- Each hall’s seat map and ticket price bands laid out as they are
- Booked films, loyalty members and concession items carried across
- New price bands and show templates added by our team when you ask
A cinema runs its screens, shows, ticket sales, concessions and film bookings from Movie Theatre Management Software, which GullySystem configures to the venue. Each show carries its film, its seat map, its price bands and its takings. The box office, kiosks and website share one seat count. Distributor returns and snack stock follow from the same record.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Film booking
A film is booked from a distributor with its terms, run dates and minimum days. The signed terms stay with the booking.
- 2
Programme
Shows are placed on each screen with their start times, cleaning gaps and advert reels. The schedule is published to every sales point.
- 3
Sales
Seats sell at the box office, at kiosks and online against one seat map. Price bands and offers are applied as each ticket is issued.
- 4
Show day
Admissions are scanned, the snack counter sells from its own stock, and held seats are released or confirmed.
- 5
Close
The manager reconciles tickets against admissions and reviews the day’s takings and stock movements.
- 6
Settlement
The return for each film is prepared from the shows run, and the figures that went to the distributor are kept.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Resource and Room Booking
Each screen is a shared resource booked by show, with cleaning gaps and advert reels, so overlapping shows are flagged before publishing.
- Online Booking Portal
The booking page shows live seats from the same map the box office uses, so a ticket sold online is gone at the counter.
- Point of Sale Billing
The counter screen sells snacks, drinks and combos, with each combo priced against the items inside it and a bill printed at once.
- Stock Tracking and Alerts
Popcorn, syrup, cups and cartons move in on delivery and out on sale or wastage, and reorder levels warn the manager early.
- Contract Management
Each film booking keeps the distributor, the share or flat rental, the minimum run and the signed terms for settlement time.
- Loyalty and Offers
Member cards, discount days and voucher codes apply at the counter and online, and each offer reports what it brought in.
- Attendance & Time Tracking
Shifts for the box office, floor, kitchen and projection room are planned around show times, and hours worked are recorded for each person.
- Asset AMC Tracking
Projector, sound and seating service dates are held with reminders, so a part due for replacement is seen before a show is lost.

Who this is built for.
- Single-screen cinemas that run a weekly programme
- Multiplexes with several screens and a busy snack counter
- Independent theatres that book films from distributors on share terms
- Venues that rent screens for private parties and corporate screenings
- Operators that sell tickets at a counter, at kiosks and online
When it is not the right choice.
- A film society showing one title a month gets by with a ticket book and a sheet.
- Venues whose main business is live stage shows or conferences will find Event Management Software closer.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Can the box office, kiosks and website share one seat map?
Yes. Every sales point sells against one seat map per show. A seat taken in one place disappears from the rest at once.
How are show clashes avoided?
The schedule shows each screen by day with cleaning gaps and advert reels. A show placed over another, or inside a gap, is flagged before it is saved.
Can film terms be held for each booking?
Yes. Share, flat rental, minimum run and dates are stored with the booking. The return for that film reads them when it is prepared.
Does it prepare distributor returns?
It prepares the figures for each film from shows run, tickets sold and net takings. The exact layout that each distributor wants is agreed during implementation.
Can combos draw down stock?
Yes. A combo is priced against the items inside it, and each sale reduces those items. Wastage and deliveries are recorded separately.
How do private hires work?
A hire holds seats or a full screen, carries a quoted charge and a deposit, and releases the hold on a set date if it is not confirmed.
Can staff shifts follow the show times?
Yes. Box office, floor, kitchen and projection shifts are planned around the programme, and hours worked are recorded for each person.
Is there a ticket scanner link?
Scanned admissions can be compared with tickets sold. The scanner model and connection are discussed during implementation, and not every device may suit.
What is the cost?
The number of screens, ticket points and users shapes the price. A demo on a sample film schedule comes before any quotation.
How do our records leave if we move on?
You will know the file format for shows, tickets, films and stock before building starts, because the quotation spells it out.
Wondering what it costs? Six questions give you a written scope and the buckets any quote should separate.
