For Irish community centres & halls
Your hall, online.

✓ Live in 10 minutes. No card needed. Add online payments whenever you’re ready.
Sound familiar?
Running a hall on a phone and a paper diary is hard work.
Endless phone tag
Callers want to know if Thursday at 7 is free. Someone has to find the diary, check, ring back. Evenings and weekends included.
Double-bookings
Two people pencilled into the same slot. An awkward call, a let-down group, and it always seems to be the busy weekends.
It all sits with one volunteer
When the person who “keeps the diary” is away, bookings grind to a halt. The knowledge lives in one head.
How it works
From paper diary to online in three steps.
No technical know-how needed. If you can fill in a form, you can run RoomRota.
Add your rooms
Tell RoomRota your spaces, opening hours and what you charge community groups vs. commercial hires. Takes a few minutes.
Share your link
You get your own booking page: your-centre.roomrota.com. Pop it on Facebook, your website, or a poster with a QR code.
Bookings roll in
Groups pick a free slot and book themselves. You and the booker both get an email. Your live timetable is always up to date.
What’s included
Everything a small hall actually needs.
Built around how community centres really run, not a generic booking tool.
Take card payments when you’re ready Coming soon
Start free and just take bookings. When you want money up front, connect your own Stripe account and payments land straight in your bank. RoomRota never holds your funds. Prefer cash or bank transfer on the day? Leave it switched off. Entirely your call.
Pricing
Fair pricing for not-for-profit halls.
Start free. Simple flat pricing when you’re ready, with no per-booking cut of your hall’s income.
Questions
The things committees usually ask.
Do we have to take online payments?
No. Plenty of halls just want to stop the phone tag and double-bookings. You can take bookings with no payment at all and settle up by cash or bank transfer as you do now. Card payments are an optional extra you can switch on later.
Is it hard to set up?
No. The setup wizard walks you through your rooms, hours and prices in a few minutes. If you can fill in a form, you can do it. We’re also happy to help you get started.
What about our regular weekly groups?
Add them once as recurring hires and RoomRota keeps the slots reserved every week, so the public timetable only shows what’s genuinely free.
Is our data safe and GDPR-compliant?
Yes. RoomRota collects only what’s needed to take a booking, includes a plain-English privacy notice, and has built-in data export and erasure to meet your obligations.
Can more than one committee member manage it?
Yes. Your admin page is reachable from any phone or laptop, so the booking diary no longer lives in one person’s head.
