Communal room booking systemBook the communal room
Book the communal room
without double-booked Saturdays
The communal room gets booked for birthdays, functions and annual meetings — usually far ahead and almost always on a Saturday. It is also the resource where a double booking does the most damage. In Tiddel everyone sees the same calendar in real time, and a booked Saturday cannot be booked again.

The residents’ lounge booked without sheets and email
Communal room, residents’ lounge, common room, party room — whatever the building calls it, it behaves the same way: a few desirable slots, many people who want them, and a need for it to be fair. You set the opening hours, how long a booking can run and, on the Pro plan, how far ahead it can be made.
Members book for themselves and see which days are free. Nobody has to email a contact person and wait for an answer, and nobody has to maintain a list that is out of date the moment it is printed.
If the room needs cleaning between bookings, or is closed for maintenance, block that time in advance. Several rooms? Add each one with its own rules.

FAQ: booking the communal room
Quick answers
Does Tiddel work for a communal room and a residents’ lounge?
Yes. Communal room, residents’ lounge, common room or party room: anything booked by more than one person becomes a resource with its own calendar and its own rules. Several rooms in the same building each get their own.
Can we require bookings to be made in advance?
Not as a minimum notice period: members can book any free time. What you can set, on the Pro plan, is how far ahead the room can be booked, so it is not booked solid years ahead.
Can we leave cleaning time between bookings?
Yes. Block the time you want kept free or, on the Pro plan, set a buffer between bookings, so the room can be cleaned before the next member arrives.
Can we see who booked the room?
Yes. Admins can always see who booked the room and when (anonymous walk-in bookings on a booking display aside), and members can too unless you hide booker names. That is enough to follow up if the room was not left in order.
