Internal club use vs public hire: keeping both tidy
Ask any busy secretary supporting school lettings teams: the diary is never just a diary — it is customer service, cashflow, and conflict resolution.
Mark internal sessions as firmly as paid ones — empty labels cause collisions.
A clean split makes public hire ethically easier to defend to members.
A clean split makes public hire ethically easier to defend to members.
None of this requires a complicated transformation project. It requires one source of truth for coastal towns.
With FacilityPro, hirers book live availability online and can pay at booking — no sales call required.
Key takeaways
- Treat the calendar as the only booking truth for school lettings teams.
- Publish prices, buffers, and cancellation rules where hirers can see them.
- Take payment in the booking flow when you open public hire.
- Give more than one officer access so holidays do not freeze the diary.
