They see what is free
A month at a glance, with the number of slots open on each day. Live, on their phone, without an account if you would rather they looked first.
Booking software
Rooms booked properly, without the back and forth.
For organisations that hire rooms out by the hour. The people who use your space see what is free and book it themselves. You get a diary your team can run the desk from — and nobody is ever double-booked.
Working with our first customers now.
How it works
Three things happen, and none of them is a phone call.
Most room hire still runs on emails, a paper diary and somebody checking whether Tuesday at ten is free. This replaces that, without asking anyone to learn anything complicated.
They book and pay
One time or a term of Tuesdays, one room or several, in a single checkout. Card, a pack of sessions they have already bought, or an invoice if you trust them.
You run the day
Every room on one timeline. Book somebody in over the phone, move a booking when a radiator gives up, check people in as they arrive.
What it does
The awkward parts, handled.
Anyone can put a calendar on a website. The difference is in the things that make room hire actually difficult.
Your rules, not ours
Every space works differently. Rather than bending yours to fit the software, the software takes its instructions from you.
- Session lengths and prices, per room
- Turnaround gaps between bookings
- How much notice to book, and to cancel
- How far ahead the diary opens
- Rooms anyone can book, or rooms you approve
Sell blocks, not just hours
Regulars would rather buy fifteen sessions than pay fifteen times. Packs are bought once and drawn down as they book.
- Packs expire on the terms you set
- The oldest sessions are always spent first
- Organisations can hold a pool their people draw from
- Short by two? Pay the difference by card at checkout
More than one building
Locations, rooms, floors and opening hours are all yours to arrange — and staff can be given the keys to one site rather than all of them.
- Separate opening hours per location
- Close a room, a site, or everything, for a day
- Managers scoped to the site they actually run
The one that matters
Two people cannot book the same room.
Everything else is an inconvenience. Two people turning up for the same room at the same time is the failure that costs you a customer.
So it is not left to the application to remember. The database itself refuses to store overlapping bookings — if two people press the button in the same instant, one of them is turned down, every time.
Also included
Details you would otherwise chase.
Cancellations that settle themselves
Set the notice periods and the refund at each one. Money and sessions go back on their own, on your terms.
Your name on it
Your logo, your colour, your wording, on your own web address. It reads as part of your site, not a booking tool bolted to the side.
Approve who joins
Take anyone, or review applications first — and ask whatever you need to know on the form, in your own words.
Bring your diary with you
Already on another system? Existing bookings come across before you switch, so the diary is never empty on day one.
Made for a phone
Most bookings are made standing up, between other things. Every screen is built for that first.
Payments you already understand
Card payments run through Stripe into your own account. The money is yours from the moment it is taken.
Pricing
A share of what you take. Nothing when you take nothing.
No monthly fee, no per-room charge, no contract to sign before you know whether it suits you. We take a percentage of what you actually collect, after the card fees — so it costs you something only when it has earned you something.
On a £12 room booking, our share works out at around £1.75. In a week where nobody books, it is nothing at all.
What that adds up to depends on your rooms and your prices. Tell us those and we will put a real figure on it.
Questions
The things people ask first.
Do we have to move everything at once?
No. Bookings from your current system can be brought across and kept in step while you decide, so nothing is lost if you change your mind halfway.
Can people book without an account?
They can always look without one. Whether booking needs an account, and whether you approve those accounts, is your choice per site.
Does it work with our website?
It runs on your own web address and links from wherever you like — a button, a menu item, a page of its own.
Who holds the money?
You do. Payments go into your own Stripe account, not ours, and we invoice our share separately.
What about our current customers?
They come across with their bookings. Nobody is contacted until you say so — no surprise emails going out on your behalf.
How long does it take to set up?
Rooms, hours and prices are an afternoon. Getting your existing diary across and checked is the part worth taking time over.
Tell us about your rooms.
We are working closely with our first customers, which means the product is being shaped around real buildings and real desks. If you hire space out, we would like to hear how you do it.
