Hot desks

Hot desk management that keeps your space full.

Members book a hot desk for a day, a week or longer from the member portal. You see availability in real time, prevent overbooking and charge for usage automatically — all without managing a shared spreadsheet.

Questions about hot desk booking.

Can I sell day passes through CoWorkly?

Yes. Create a day-pass plan with a per-day price. Members buy a pass and make a booking. The charge is added to their invoice or taken as a one-time payment.

Can members with a monthly plan book a desk without paying per day?

Yes. Assign an unlimited hot desk plan to a member and their daily bookings are included in the monthly invoice, with no per-booking charge.

Will CoWorkly stop bookings if all desks are taken?

Yes. Once the maximum number of desks is reached for a given day, the date shows as unavailable in the member portal and no further bookings can be made.

Run a full hot desk operation from one platform.
