How St. Frances Cabrini Doubled Its Rental Income with Subler

The challenge: a great field nobody was booking

St. Frances Cabrini has a facility renters want: Sr. Johnnie Field, a regulation-size turf soccer field. It is named for Sister John Martin Fixa, OP, a Dominican Sister who founded Dominican Sisters' Vision of Hope. Even so, the field sat mostly unused. The school had no good way to market the field or manage bookings. Staff tracked payments and schedules by hand. The rental software they had was outdated, offered little support, and made it hard to set the right rates. After school, the campus was often empty, a missed chance to connect with the neighborhood and meet prospective families.

Why Subler: booking, payments, pricing and marketing in one place

Subler gave St. Frances Cabrini a complete rental platform and a team to help run it: • Online booking, so local organizations can find and reserve the field themselves • Online payments in place of manual tracking • Help setting fair rental rates • Scheduling tools that prevent double bookings • Marketing support to bring in new renters and raise the school's visibility • A dedicated Subler staff member to manage rentals, saving the school's staff time

Getting started: a hands-off launch in March

The Subler team ran the whole onboarding in March 2024. They moved the school's existing renters over, trained staff, set up a central calendar, and retired the old software. School staff picked up the new platform quickly, with little disruption to daily operations. The results: double the income in six months Within six months on Subler:

• Annual rental income doubled
• Time spent managing rentals fell by 75%
• More bookings brought new families and prospective students to campus

"Subler has completely transformed the way we manage our school's facilities and the team has truly been a blessing to the school," said Principal Carmen O'Hart. "We've been able to generate 100% more revenue and streamline the entire rental process. Our community engagement has also improved because of the platform." The takeaway: unused space, new revenue

St. Frances Cabrini turned an empty after-school field into a reliable source of revenue and a way to bring its neighbors on campus. Other K-12 schools with underused facilities can do the same. Ready to put your school's facilities to work? Contact Subler at info@getsubler.com or book a demo.
