Developing software for small, independent cinemas is a notable idea. While I can't speak for the global situation, based on my experience in Europe, many cinemas suffer from outdated and subpar booking software. Creating an aesthetically pleasing platform akin to Shopify for webshops could prove to be a lucrative endeavour. My research into existing solutions revealed a dearth of options, and the few available ones look crap.
