Question 1

What is Doris?

Accepted Answer

Doris is a simple online room booking system for small organisations — counselling practices, community halls, sports clubs, churches, music studios. It does one thing well: lets your people see what's free and book it, without clashes.

Question 2

Who is it for?

Accepted Answer

Organisations getting by on a spreadsheet, a shared calendar, or a group chat — and finding it increasingly painful. If booking a room has started causing arguments, Doris is for you.

Question 3

How much does Doris cost?

Accepted Answer

Three tiers, priced by how many rooms you have. Option One is £100/year + VAT (or £10/month + VAT) for up to 5 rooms and 50 members. Option Two is £150/year + VAT (or £15/month + VAT) for up to 10 rooms and 100 members. Option Three is £200/year + VAT (or £20/month + VAT) for up to 15 rooms and 200 members. Paying annually saves you two months — £20, £30 or £40 depending on the tier. All prices exclude VAT, which is added at checkout.

Question 4

Are there add-ons?

Accepted Answer

If you need more members than your tier includes, add member packs: +25, +50 or +100 members for £10, £20 or £40 a year (+ VAT), depending on your tier. No per-user fees.

Question 5

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes — up to 28 days, and no credit card to start. You won't be charged unless you decide to subscribe.

Question 6

How does the trial work?

Accepted Answer

It builds up as you use it: 14 days when you sign up, another 7 when you finish setting up, and a further 7 once you've added 5 members — up to 28 days in total.

Question 7

Can I cancel at any time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cancel whenever you like; your access carries on until the end of the billing period you've already paid for. No notice period, no exit fee.

Question 8

How does Doris handle my members' data?

Accepted Answer

Sparingly. For each member, Doris stores an email address and a display name — nothing else. It never holds data about the clients or customers your organisation serves; Doris has no need for it, so it never asks.

Question 9

How is Doris different from enterprise booking software?

Accepted Answer

It isn't trying to be enterprise software. No sales call, no implementation project, no per-seat licensing. Doris is for small organisations that need something that just works — not a platform to administer.
