Replace WhatsApp pitch bookings
Stop running your facility hire desk in message threads. Give hirers a live calendar and get paid when they book.
The WhatsApp booking desk problem
Many UK clubs and venues still take pitch and hall hire over WhatsApp, email, and spreadsheets. It works until someone is on holiday, two coaches confirm the same slot, or a hirer “forgot” to pay the deposit.
What goes wrong
- Double-bookings when messages live in different phones
- Slow replies outside evenings and weekends
- No single source of truth for availability
- Chasing bank transfers after the session
- Painful handover when the secretary changes
The FacilityPro alternative
Publish a live calendar. Hirers book open slots online. Payments can be taken at booking. Your club keeps a free internal calendar for training and matches.
Free to set up. Free for internal-only use. About 10% only when outside hirers pay through FacilityPro.
