A small audience watches a bright private cinema beneath timber acoustic panels

Private Cinema Booking Software for New Zealand.

A screening is the film plus doors open and the clear-out after, and the whole block is what leaves the page the moment it is booked.

A screening is longer than the film.

Doors, the trailers, the film, the credits and the clear-out afterwards. That whole block is what you are selling, and all of it has to leave the page at once.

  • Doors open, not film starts

    The block begins when the first guest walks in, so the half hour your staff spend meeting a party is inside the booking rather than added to it.

  • The clear-out is booked time

    Sweeping row C is real time that belongs to the screening before it. Sell straight through and the second showing of the night starts late.

  • One screen, one block

    A confirmed screening removes doors through clear-out in one go, so nobody buys the twenty minutes you are still working in.

A day of classes, each shown as a session with the seats booked out of the total.

They book the night themselves.

A hirer picks a screening slot and pays, and it drops straight into the diary. No back-and-forth about whether the screen is free.

One clear day across every screening room.

See birthday screenings, team presentations and room reset together, with the actual resource attached to every entry.

Built for your cinema

Built for every kind of screening

Birthday screenings

Show the private cinema time genuinely open; confirmation removes that screening room before another hirer can choose it.

Private film nights

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

Team presentations

Hold the full doors-open time together while ordinary time around it remains available.

Console gaming sessions

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

Film-club evenings

Put the organiser and private screening needs on one booking for a clean handover.

Whānau screenings

Send the itemised quote for the screen and the staff first, and the accepted version stays put.

Changed feature times

Shift a screening to a workable night with the hirer and what they paid still attached to it.

Room resets

Take only the minutes the auditorium needs to be cleared offline, leaving every other slot live.

Pro

The screen hire fee beside the booking.

Keep payment status with the private screening, including offline money recorded on Free and complete online card checkout on Pro.

  • Full card payment online

    Pro collects the complete screen hire fee online for the private screening. Record cash or bank transfer manually on Free.

  • Offline money stays recorded

    Record cash or bank transfer manually on Free, keeping the screen hire fee visible beside the private screening.

  • Longer work starts with a quote

    Send an itemised quote for the private screening and agreed extras, then keep later payments with the accepted details.

A list of payments, each with the customer, reference, date, method and amount, with totals received and still outstanding.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your screen hire business.

Online booking

Offer birthday, film-club and private screening sessions only when the room is free. A reserved feature removes the whole screen block.

Scheduling

Put doors time, playback checks and cinema turnover on one screening diary, with the correct auditorium named on every session.

Standing bookings

Carry a film club weekly or monthly on Free, ending after its final private screening rather than assuming the room indefinitely.

One screen, one screening

A booked screening removes the whole block, doors through clear-out, so nobody can buy the half hour your staff are still working in.

Estimates

Itemise a launch, private screening and agreed technician time in a quote, retaining the accepted cinema plan for the booked day.

Email reminders

Email the organiser their screen, doors-open time and playback notes ahead of guests arrive for the feature session.

Customers

Hold each organiser’s screenings, room requirements and payment history together when another film night is planned.

Team

Give the cinema host one view of doors, feature sessions and auditorium turnovers ahead of the next audience takes its seats.

Payments

Mark cash or transfer for the screening on Free, or take the whole screen hire fee by card as the cinema is reserved on Pro.
