Built for you

Built for every kind of community hall hire business

Weekend markets and fetes

A market takes the hall and the car park from six in the morning for setup, which is a longer block than the stalls are open. Sell the block that covers the setup and the pack-down, so nothing else can be squeezed in around it.

Weekly classes and groups

Yoga on a Monday night, Scouts on a Wednesday, playgroup on a Friday morning. Each group has its own record and its own history of bookings, so when the treasurer asks who owes what for the term the answer is already there.

Private parties and twenty-firsts

The hires that most need a bond are the ones taken most casually. Payment and bond happen online before the key is handed over, so no volunteer has to ask a stranger for cash on the night.

Regular community groups

The CWA, the men's shed, the choir, the local council meeting. Their standing hours sit on the same diary as the one-off hires, which is the only way a volunteer can safely say yes to a Saturday on the spot.

Schedule

The diary out of the kitchen drawer

Every committee member opens the same Saturday from home, and a block that is booked cannot be booked again. The hall stops being double-let because nobody is relying on a notebook anymore.

Instant booking

Hourly midweek, a day block on Saturday

A group takes three hours on a Wednesday and pays for three. A party takes the named Saturday block at a stored price, so nobody argues about whether pack-down counts.

Get paid

Bond in hand before the key changes hands

The bond is taken with the booking rather than chased at the door, and it goes back through the same card once the hall comes back clean. No volunteer has to ask a stranger for cash.

Less admin, more bookings

Made for community hall hire businesses

One diary the whole committee can see

A hall is double-booked because the diary lives in one place and the phone rings in another. Move it online and every committee member is looking at the same Saturday from wherever they are, and the database will not let a second hire land on a block that is already taken. The person who takes the call no longer has to remember what somebody else agreed to a fortnight ago.

The bond is taken when the hall is booked

Take a bond at the point of booking rather than trying to collect it at handover, and the conversation about the state of the kitchen becomes a conversation about money you already hold. Refunds go back through the same card, so returning a bond after a clean handover takes a tap rather than a bank transfer somebody has to remember to do.

Who holds the key, written on the booking

The key handover is the part that falls over. Put the hirer's name, their phone number and the arrangements on the booking itself, so the volunteer meeting them at the door is reading the same thing the person who took the booking wrote down. Every hire that group has ever had sits under the one customer, so a hall committee that turns over every two years does not lose its memory.

Hourly through the week, a day rate on Saturday

A two hour Wednesday night and an all-day Saturday are not the same product. Price the weeknight by the hour so a small group can book three hours and pay for three, and sell the Saturday as a named day block at a stored figure so nobody has to argue about whether pack-down counts. Both sit on the same page and the hirer picks the one that fits.

Common questions.

Put the hall on one online diary. A block that is booked cannot be booked again, because the database refuses the overlap rather than trusting anyone to check. Every committee member sees the same availability, so it does not matter which of you takes the call.

Yes. Take the bond with the booking so it is in hand before the key changes hands, and refund it through the same card once the hall comes back clean. Nobody has to chase cash on the night or write out a receipt in a hall kitchen.

It is a diary and a booking page. A committee member logs in, sees what is booked and what is free, and takes a phone booking in about the same number of taps as writing it in a notebook. Most of the work stops happening at all, because hirers book and pay themselves.

Most halls sit inside the free plan: the Free plan covers 200 bookings a month with no per-booking fees, which covers a hall running weekly groups and a market. Beyond that, Pro is $2 a booking for unlimited, and card payments are 3%.
