GoodVenues

A simple, easy way for your venue to take bookings

Live availability calendar, booking requests you approve, chat with guests, and card deposits — set up in five minutes, free for 30 days.

Why we built this

This started with my little sister and a neighborhood hall in San Pedro — bookings lived on voicemails, sticky notes, and double-booked Saturdays. We built the tool we wished she had: one calendar everyone can see, requests you approve with a tap, and no lost messages. Now we’re opening it to venues like yours.

Watch it work — real app, real flows

These clips are recorded directly from the live product.

A guest books your venue

Maria finds the venue, sees live availability, picks an open Saturday slot, and sends her request — under a minute, no account gymnastics.

You approve & reply

The request appears on your dashboard with the guest's details. One tap to confirm — the slot locks on the public calendar — then reply in the built-in chat.

Works like an app on any phone

Guests and owners get the same experience on iPhone and Android — installable from the browser, no app store needed.

What you get

Your calendar, public

Guests see exactly what's open — no phone tag, no double-booking. Confirmed events lock the slot automatically.

You approve everything

Every request lands on your dashboard. One tap to approve or decline — nothing is booked without you.

Chat built in

Answer questions right on the booking — no lost emails, no giving out your personal number.

Deposits, handled

Set a deposit and guests pay by card the moment you confirm. You see your payout on every booking.

Simple pricing

Free for 30 days. Then $29/month + 10% of paid deposits. No contracts — cancel anytime, and your existing bookings always stay yours.
