How it works

From search to permit in three clear, auditable steps.

Search

Browse a department's real-time availability for gyms, fields, auditoriums, and more — filtered by date, capacity, and amenities.

Request

Submit a rental request with your headcount and purpose. Staff review it against blockouts, capacity rules, and insurance requirements automatically.

Pay & get your permit

Once approved, pay according to the organization's policy — deposit, full upfront, or a free hold — and receive your permit.

Built for organizations that answer to the public

Legacy facility rental platforms bury fees and requirements in fine print. VenueSpree shows the numbers up front — to renters and to the organizations that use it.

Transparent, configurable platform fee

A clear 5–9% platform fee, set by the organization — not a buried 6–12% markup. Orgs choose whether they absorb it, pass it to renters, or split it.

Configurable payment policies

Deposit percentage, full-payment-upfront, or a free hold that converts to payment later — configurable at the organization level and overridable per facility.

Insurance clarity before booking

Capacity-triggered insurance and officer requirements are shown with their exact cost up front, so renters never get a surprise bill after approval.

Predictable Stripe Connect payouts

Funds settle to your organization's bank account on a schedule you control — monthly by default, weekly if you need faster cash flow.

Invite-only staff, shareable rental links

Staff onboarding is invite-only and role-based. For phone-in or walk-up renters, staff can generate a shareable link to a pre-filled rental request.

One calendar per department

Every department manages a single source-of-truth calendar, so double-bookings and conflicting blockouts become structurally difficult, not just discouraged.

One transparent platform fee. No surprises.

VenueSpree charges a configurable platform fee of 5–9% per transaction — set by your organization, not hidden in a rate card.

Your org absorbs it

The platform fee comes out of your payout. Renters pay exactly the listed rate.

Renter pays it

The fee is itemized as a separate line item at checkout. Your org receives the full rate.

Split it

Choose the percentage split between your organization and the renter.

No setup fees, no monthly minimums
Payouts via Stripe Connect — monthly by default, weekly available
Deposit, full-upfront, or free-hold payment policies, your choice
Fee percentage and payment policy configurable per facility

Government-ready, from day one

Built with the scrutiny of public procurement in mind — from the audit log to the accessibility statement.

Built for public-sector security

Role-based access control, invite-only staff accounts, and a full audit log of every action taken by staff and administrators.

Accessibility by default

Public-facing pages target WCAG 2.2 AA, so residents booking a gym or a field can do so regardless of ability.

Legal disclosure ready

Clear privacy, terms, and accessibility statements suited to government and school-district procurement review — not consumer boilerplate.
