Hallmaster booking & reservation system for multiple venues

For many organisations such as co-operatives, consortiums and councils, running multiple venues at once is a vital part of daily business. For these kinds of organisations, managing the booking processes for these venues all at once can provide many logistical complications. This is where modernising these booking systems can not only save time, but also money.

It is more important than ever for businesses and organisations of all kinds to consider how to best modernise their workflows. Venue booking is a huge area that is undergoing changes right across the venue hiring world, and those who manage multiple venues at once are the ones with the most to gain from this modernisation.

Town Councils, Parish Councils, Consortiums, Co-Operatives...

Why Use an Online Booking System for Multiple Venues?

For many organisations and businesses, venue booking has looked the same for generations: pen and paper diaries, and several back-and-forth discussions between venue and customer until a booking is made.

This may have worked in the past, but changes in the kind of customers who are hiring venues, as well as changes in customer behaviour in general, have meant that venues of all types have needed to update their workflows to meet these new needs.

Those managing multiple venues at once, like community hubs, Quaker meeting houses, town and parish councils, schools hiring out their facilities, and many more – are finding that their existing booking systems are lagging behind these changes in the business landscape, and are facing the necessity of changing how they run their operations.

This does not need to be a difficult transition, however, and finding the right online booking software can help organisations manage the entire booking process for multiple venues at once, all from one place. All of this can be done even while increasing the revenue your venue generates by eliminating double bookings and making the whole booking process more direct and customer-friendly.

Why Hallmaster is the Best Multi-Venue Booking Software

We here at Hallmaster have harnessed over two decades of experience in designing and implementing web-based tools and services for businesses of all kinds and created our industry-leading booking software.

The key to our software’s success lies in tying simplicity together with an arsenal of powerful tools.

It centres around the booking calendar; an interactive calendar that can be embedded directly on your venue’s webpage. This allows customers to view existing bookings, find vacancies, and make bookings, all from the same page, reducing the steps a customer needs to take in order to make their booking.

Behind this simplicity on the customer-facing side, lies the powerful tools available to venue managers. Hallmaster allows a booking officer to oversee bookings, customer queries, generate invoices, and even manage venue promotion over social media, all from the same dashboard. Not only that, but the software also supports multiple venue management all from one account, meaning a business can oversee multiple locations without having to open new accounts for each one.

It’s this kind of workflow streamlining that we at Hallmaster pride ourselves on, and is what sets our software apart from other booking solutions.
