I am a bit disappointed at how many wiki pages are not complete. I somehow found the page http://wiki.coworking.info/Knowledge+Base (cant seem to duplicate how I got there though) but all the links are to pages that haven't even been started yet. It would have been a great source of info, if there was anything there.
In any case, I am starting a small coworking space in Phoenix. I am starting small because I already have the office space and most of the furniture so its nearly zero startup costs (ok, maybe a couple hundred dollars), with the hopes to ramp up membership to fund expansion and eventually expand into a large combo coworking/techshop type space. The plan for the current space is two rooms with about 350 sq feet total which is half the current 4 room office. If things go well, I hope to expand into a full 4 room 750sq ft suite as phase 2. I've been reading here and doing lots of research, visiting other spaces' websites and have come up with a few questions.. A lot of spaces have memberships levels that offer a reserved chair. Does that mean you count how many people you have in the space at any particular moment and always have one free chair per full member? So if every full member happened to show up at the same time, they would all have a chair available? Or do you just average it out and assume all full members won't show up at once? Have you ever had to ask someone to leave? I ask this because since I am starting small there is very limited space so I have to be mindful of occupancy. Of course I could only hope I actually have this problem! Are there any "open source" membership TOS verbage I can use? IANAL nor do I play one on TV, so I'd like to CMA instead of just making up something that sounds good. Any preferred software to manage user in/out and scheduling? I searched here a bit and it sounds like there isn't much out there. Should I even be concerned with it at this point due to the small size?
