Places of worship
Co-working spaces
Two roles

Built for the people who run the room - and the people who use it.

Admins manage everything. Bookers just need a room. Both flows shaped by what each one actually does.

For admins

Run the room without running yourself ragged.

  • Full schedule view across every room and day
  • Approve, reject, move, cancel anything
  • Invite members and manage active memberships
  • See who has booked each room
  • Set up resources and tags per room

For bookers

A room. A time. Done.

  • Book any room in seconds
  • Block recurring sessions up to 24 weeks
  • Doris reminds you each morning at your chosen time
  • Installs on any phone, no App Store
  • Manage your own bookings

Getting started

Up and running in three steps.

1

Set up your rooms

Name them, set capacity, add tags like projector or hearing loop. A sector template gets you 80% of the way.

2

Invite your team

Email invites. They sign up via Clerk and start booking immediately. No training, no PDFs.

3

Let Doris take over

Your team asks Doris for a room, and she writes it in the diary. Installs on any phone like an app, directly from the browser.

Customer story

Calls to Kirsten about room bookings have all but stopped.

Beyond Counselling CIC - 25 counsellors live on Doris within a week

Doris has taken away the headache of staying on top of a spreadsheet for a team of 25+ counsellors. Requests didn't fit neatly into the 2 days I work, so inevitably I'd be working on my days off. Doris has taken that from me, and I couldn't be more grateful.
KirstenClinical Lead, Beyond Counselling CIC
We've recently started using Book with Doris, and it's been a game changer for us. It's made coordinating room bookings simple, clear, and stress-free, helping us spend less time juggling diaries and more time focusing on supporting our clients.

Why it stays simple

One tool, done well. Your AI wires the rest.

We refused to build a dozen native integrations, and refused to mark up the connectors. You bring your own AI assistant, plug in the tools you already pay for, and Doris stays cheap because we're not babysitting brittle pipes.

How Doris compares

Your people, your rooms.

Most booking software is built for taking bookings - and money - from the public. Doris is built for the other job: your own people booking your own rooms, without the spreadsheet.

  • Double-bookings

    Nothing stops a clash

    Rejected as you book

  • Self-service booking

    Hand out edit access, or field the messages

    Your people book themselves, safely

  • Who it serves

    Public pages, payments, stored client records

    Private to your organisation - no payments, no client data

  • Price per room

    Priced per space or per seat

    From £1.11 per room / month

Open at the edges

So simple you don't need an AI to use it. But your AI can use Doris.

Doris does the booking and gets out of the way. At the edges she opens up: signed webhooks push events out the moment they happen, and the AI assistant you already use can connect and read your data, with your permission.

Push - webhooks

The moment a booking is confirmed, moved or cancelled, Doris can tell a system you control. Unlock a door, warm a room, raise the invoice in your accounts package.

Webhook reference

Pull - your AI assistant

Connect Claude or ChatGPT and ask for your trustee report, your utilisation trends, your month-end invoicing run - it can even draft the statements and reconcile the payments. You approve every change, and it's revocable in one click.

FAQs

Frequently asked.

Can Doris handle different ways of booking?

Yes. Doris runs rooms three ways: tidy slots for clinics and appointments, block bookings for halls and clubs, and shared desks for hubs. The 'How I work' page walks through all three.

Is Doris a public booking page like Calendly?

No. Doris is for closed memberships - invite-only via Clerk. There's no public link, no marketing your venue, no chasing strangers for credit cards. Doris is for the people you already know.

Does Doris handle payments?

No, and that's intentional. Doris manages the booking - how you take payment is entirely up to you. No transaction fees, no third party in your payment flow.

Can admins approve bookings before they're confirmed?

Yes. Mark any room as requiring approval. The slot holds as pending until the admin approves or rejects.

Do my team need to download an app?

No App Store needed. Doris installs from the browser - one tap, and it sits on the home screen like a native app.

How does the free trial work?

Up to 28 days free, no card. You get 14 days to start, plus a week when you finish setup and another week once you've added five members. By the time it ends, Doris will already be indispensable.

What happens if I cancel?

Read-only mode. Your data and history stay, no new bookings can be made, come back anytime.

Is my data safe?

Doris stores bookings, not client data. We don't sell or share what you put in. Hosted on Cloudflare. GDPR-compliant. DPA available.

Does Doris use AI?

Yes, but probably not the way you're imagining.

There's no AI in the part that books your room. That's plain, predictable software: you tap through and it does exactly what you asked, the same way every time. We looked hard at putting AI inside Doris, and decided a handful of clicks was the better experience.

Where AI helps is at the edges, and it's your assistant, not one baked into Doris. Doris publishes what it knows (your bookings, your utilisation, your statements) so an assistant you already use can take the admin off your hands. It can even prepare the paperwork, drafting your statements and suggesting which payment settles which invoice. But Doris never touches the money, and it works in pencil: the steps that count, like marking an invoice paid, always wait for you to approve.

So: AI-free where it needs to be reliable, AI-ready where it saves you an evening.
