Facility reservation software with invoicing built in.
One piece of software for the whole job: a live calendar, online booking forms, deposits, invoicing and payments. Customers see what's free and request the slot. You confirm with a click, and the bookkeeping follows on its own.

Online calendar & booking form.
Online booking software that's always up to date. Customers see availability at a glance, request the slot they want, and you approve with one click.
Every hall, room, court and field is its own bookable space — a facility booking system for all your spaces. Accept bookings for public and private events. Block out dates that aren't available (Christmas, maintenance) and drop in calendar notes for school calendar dates or community events.

Professional invoicing.
You get booking and invoicing software in one, so nothing needs to be typed twice. Pick a booking, choose what to charge for, click send — customer, booking and payment details are filled in automatically.
Different terms for different renters? Save invoice templates so regular customers get the right instructions and payment options every time.
Connect an online provider for card payments. Set a per-invoice limit to keep transaction fees down on the bigger bookings — those can come in by ACH instead.

Get paid without chasing.
Connect SumUp, Stripe, or another payment provider so customers can pay for bookings online — safely, securely, and without phoning the booking coordinator.
-
A seamless payment flow
Payment links are added to every invoice you send. Customers click and pay — they don't even have to log in.
-
Avoid excessive fees
Set a per-invoice cap so the bigger bookings (regular renters, big weddings) come in by ACH instead of by card. No high fees.
-
Automatic refunds
SumUp, Stripe and PayPal can refund a deposit after a booking — you don't need to collect or store customers' bank details.
Secured by 256-bit SSL. We never see card data.

And a few more things.
The small stuff that turns booking software into something the whole committee can run.
-
Staff roles
-
Admin, manager, editor, view-only. Set who can confirm bookings, send invoices, run the reports. All actions are tracked in the audit log.
-
Work schedules
-
Plan custodian rounds, cleaning slots, and lock-up shifts around the bookings calendar — they're already in sync. Great for your custodian and cleaner.
-
Reporting
-
Live usage and income reports across every facility, rental type and customer. Export it all to Excel for board members or your annual report.
Smart locks & thermostats
Drive Nuki smart locks for keyless entry and Google Nest thermostats for energy-efficient heating — all triggered automatically from your booking calendar. Alternatively you can sync your LemonBooking data to Google Calendar or pull it directly from our API if you are building your own smart device solution.
Customer review from the Xero App Store
“We run a busy Town Hall with three rooms and over two hundred customers. Lemon booking has all the function we need for web site, bookings and invoicing (it can handle payments as well but we do that on Quickbooks). The support is fantastic.”
Frequently asked questions
Anything we haven't covered, drop us a line.
Is this a facility reservation system or a booking system?
Both words describe the same thing, and LemonBooking does it: your spaces go on one calendar, people reserve them online, and the reservation carries its own rate, deposit and invoice. Venues call it facility reservation, room rental or scheduling depending on where they sit — the system is the same one.
Can we stop people double-booking a room?
That is the point of the live calendar. A slot that is taken stops being offered the moment it is taken, on the public form and to staff, so two people cannot hold the same room. Facilities that overlap — a hall that splits in two, or a hall plus its kitchen — block each other as well.
Can regular renters hold the same slot every week?
Yes. Set the pattern once and the renter keeps the slot weekly, fortnightly, monthly or for a whole season. Skip a date without unpicking the rest, and bill the run on a recurring cycle rather than as one invoice for the lot.
Do our customers need an account?
No. Anyone can request a booking from the public form without signing up, and pay from the link on their invoice afterwards. Regulars can have an account if they want one — it lets them see their history and rebook faster — but nothing requires it.
Can we take a deposit and the balance separately?
Yes. Charge a deposit at the point of booking and invoice the balance later, on whatever schedule you choose. Refundable damage deposits are held and released separately from the rental fee, so a returned deposit does not disturb the income figures.
