One clear day across every main hall.

See whānau celebrations, exercise classes and hall reset together, with the actual resource attached to every entry.

A committee, not a staff rota.

The bookings secretary, the treasurer and whoever has the keys each get their own login, so next year's committee inherits a diary rather than a shoebox.

Built for your hall

Built for every kind of hall hire

Whānau celebrations

Show the community hall time genuinely open; confirmation removes that main hall before another hirer can choose it.

Playgroup mornings

Carry the same community hall weekly or monthly on Free through the run, then end it on the agreed final date.

Exercise classes

Hold the full key handover together while ordinary time around it remains available.

Craft markets

Reserve the right resource and kitchen details together rather than sorting them out when everyone arrives.

Community hui

Put the organiser and weekend hire needs on one booking for a clean handover.

Election-day closures

Send the itemised quote for the hall and the kitchen first, and the accepted version stays put.

Changed key handovers

Shift a group to a workable evening with the hirer and what they paid still attached.

Kitchen and hall resets

Take only the necessary time offline for hall reset, leaving every ready resource live.

The regulars are the business.

Eight groups every week is most of what a hall earns. Rewriting them into the book each term is the job nobody volunteers for twice.

  • Set up once, runs all term

    The Tuesday playgroup keeps its hour until the term ends, rather than being written out eleven weeks at a time by hand.

  • A regular slot is really held

    The hour belongs to the group that books it, so a party enquiry cannot land on the scouts because somebody forgot they were in.

  • The reset is booked time

    Stacking chairs and sweeping the floor sits inside the hire, so the next group is not setting up around the last one’s tables.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your hall hire business.

Online booking

Put party blocks, classes and community sessions online around the main hall timetable. A confirmed hire removes the exact hall window.

Scheduling

See key handovers, kitchen access and hall resets on one community diary, with the main room or supper room named on every entry.

Standing bookings

Carry a playgroup, class or committee meeting weekly or monthly on Free and stop the run after its agreed final hall date.

One hall, one booking

Set the main hall, meeting room and kitchen up separately. One small group never makes the whole community venue appear taken.

Estimates

Itemise a long Saturday hire, extra rooms and agreed setup in a quote, retaining the accepted hall arrangement for the booked day.

Email reminders

Email the hirer their room, key time and kitchen notes ahead of trestle tables, decorations or class equipment arrive.

Customers

Hold each group’s earlier hall dates, setup needs and payment mark together when the next term or celebration is arranged.

Team

Give the caretaker and hire secretary one view of arrivals, key handovers and hall resets ahead of the doors are opened.

Payments

Mark cash or transfer for a hall hire on Free, or take the full hall hire fee by card when the community hire is made on Pro.
