Village hall booking
without keys or appointments

A village hall is almost always hired out the same way: a call to the town hall, a cheque, a key handed over in person and a condition report squeezed in between two appointments. ASLOT replaces all that with a public booking page, payment collected before entry and a code that is only valid for the booked slot.

Municipal village hall open for online booking

Saturday gets decided
on a Friday evening at 19:00

What causes problems with a village hall is almost never the hall itself. It’s the hours kept by the people who hire it. A family planning a birthday party calls in the evening, an association books its bingo for a Sunday, a caterer wants to check a date over the weekend. On the other side, the town hall office is open a few mornings a week. In between, there’s the answering machine, the call-backs and the slots that slip away.

The other sticking point is the key. It gets handed over, handed back, sometimes copied. When it doesn’t come back on Monday morning, nobody really knows who has it any more. And if the hall hosts an association on Wednesday and a private individual on Saturday, the bunch of keys becomes an object tracked by hand, in a notebook.

Opening the hall to online booking solves both at once: free dates are public and accurate at all times, and access is no longer an object but a code valid for a precise time window.

  • The hall’s availability can be checked without calling anyone
  • Payment is collected at booking, not when the keys are handed over
  • The code goes out by SMS and email, and only opens during the slot
  • The schedule stays yours: you open or close whichever dates you like

What the council gets back
from the very first hire

A schedule nobody double-books

A booked date disappears from the public page within a second. No more slots promised twice over the phone, no more sticky notes making decisions for you.

The money before the hall

Payment goes through at the time of booking. You no longer chase payments, and an unpaid date doesn’t tie up a Saturday for nothing.

Access that expires by itself

The code activates at the start time and stops at the end. Nobody keeps a way in after their slot.

A history that answers questions

Who used the hall, on which day, for how long, for what amount. The answer fits on one screen, not in a ring binder.

A hire from start to finish
without a single phone call

The date is chosen online

The resident opens the hall’s page, sees which Saturdays are still free and takes theirs. No account to create, no app to install.

Payment confirms the booking

Until payment is confirmed, the date isn’t held. That’s what prevents phantom bookings that tie up a Saturday for nothing.

The code arrives by SMS and email

It belongs to this booking and only opens during the planned time window, whether the hire starts at 08:00 or ends at 02:00.

Access closes by itself

At the end of the slot, the code stops working. Lighting and heating follow the same time window if the hall is equipped.

Village hall:
your questions

Yes. The town hall office stays in control: a booking is entered from the dashboard as if it came from the public page. Online booking works alongside the front desk; it doesn’t replace it.

The deposit is still your rule: you set the amount and when you ask for it. What changes is that the hire fee is collected before access. You no longer depend on a cheque handed over on the day.

The code doesn’t work yet: it activates at the start time of the slot. If the hirer needs to get in earlier to set up, they simply book a wider time window from the outset. You book a time slot, not a whole day.

Yes, in fact that’s the most common case. A council generally has a resident rate, a non-resident rate, a business rate, and free use for its associations. Prices are set by user group; the hall stays the same.

Most of the time, no. We connect to the equipment already in place as soon as it can be controlled remotely. We check this during the demo, before you commit.

Setup is quick, and our team does it with you, remotely. The timescale depends mainly on your door equipment and the formalities for collecting payments, not on the software.
