Venue Booking Software for Studios and Event Rooms
A rehearsal room booked for a weekday afternoon and the same room booked for a Saturday night reception aren't the same booking wearing two names, they're two different services that happen to share four walls. There's no instructor walking in with the booking, no class filling a set of places: what's being sold is the room itself, for the window of time somebody's asked for. Set each configuration up as its own service with its own length, so the daytime rehearsal booking and the evening reception booking are never forced to behave like the same thing.
- Each configuration of the room set as its own service, its own length
- A break between hires long enough to reset the room
- One-off event hire and a standing weekly slot on the same calendar
- A package of bookings sold once, redeemed one at a time

Room booking software for the space, not the person inside it
A room booking isn't a booking for a person's time, it's a booking for a window of the room's time, and the same four walls can be several different bookings depending on when they're used. kiwilaunch treats each configuration as its own service with its own length, a break between hires to reset the room, and both one-off and recurring bookings on the same calendar. A package can be sold once and drawn down one booking at a time, and a standing weekly hire can be charged automatically, always with the customer's permission.
The same room, sold as two different bookings
A daytime rehearsal and an evening reception can happen in the same four walls and still be nothing alike: different setup, different length, different everything except the address. Set each one up as its own service, each with its own length, so a morning booking and a night booking don't get squeezed into one listing that's really describing two different rooms. Nobody is delivering a class or a session inside it. What's being booked is the space itself, for however long it's needed.
The gap between one hire and the next
A wedding reception doesn't end when the last guest leaves. Someone still has to reset the chairs, clear the tables, and get the floor back to how the next booking expects to find it. That reset time is a setting on the service itself, a break between bookings, the same way the service has its own length. It's the part of the day nobody's paying to use, and now it's a number you've set rather than time borrowed from the next hire's setup.
One-off hires and a standing weekly slot, both on one calendar
A touring company needs the hall for one Saturday night. A local theater group needs the same rehearsal room every Tuesday for the whole season. Both are bookings, not different systems: set the one-off up as a single booking and the standing slot to recur, so it appears on the calendar the same way each time it comes around. When the touring company's date changes, that booking simply moves to the new date instead of getting canceled and rebuilt.
A regular hirer, sorted once instead of every time
A resident company or a weekly hirer doesn't want to settle up after every booking. Sell a package, paid once and drawn down one booking at a time as the room is actually used, instead of billing separately for each visit. A standing weekly hire can also be set to recur, with the card charged automatically each time, always with the customer's permission. When something needs sorting after the fact, a refund, an extra charge, or a payment link for someone settling up later all run from the same dashboard.
Your desk is wherever the next booking walks in
You're not always by a computer when someone wants to know whether the hall is free next Thursday. The kiwilaunch iOS app answers that from your phone: check the calendar, see who's booked and what's already paid, without a trip back to a desk. Tap to Pay on iPhone takes a card from someone settling up in person, with no reader to keep at the front desk.
