[Coworking] Re: Coworking payments for reservations & cancellation policies

2016-12-13 Thread Doug Maschoff
Hi Lauren, this is something we actually discussed with a lot of coworking 
space owners/managers when we were building out the booking functionality 
of www.meshworkapp.com. How we handle it is we charge the member/non-member 
at the time of booking, however give a 100% refund if they cancel the 
booking with 48 hours notice and a 50% refund when they cancel it with 24 
hours notice. I've also spoken with some spaces that always require a 48 
hour notice as well as others that only require a 24 hour notice. We were 
shooting for something that seemed reasonable without getting 
overcomplicated, however I'm sure there are lots of different ways to do 
it. Hope that helps.

You could also add IFTTT to the automation part.

[Coworking] Re: Creative Ideas for Decorating a Large Wall

Vertical gardens are always pretty cool. And they warm up the space. Just 
an idea!
