Start by publishing real availability for county league organisers, then add payments once the diary is trusted.

FacilityPro lets venues list free, keep internal bookings free, and take about 90% of paid public hire.

Key takeaways

• Treat the calendar as the only booking truth for county league organisers.
• 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.
