I am like Angel and I have left for up to three weeks. I restock everything, give them instructions on how to fix the internet, I give them a Visa credit card worth $50 to $100 for any extra expenses they come across, and hang a note. The point person is a community member that is there enough

I stopped doing checkin b/c I couldn't even any more. No one reliably used any system and unless it's automatic like a retinal scan they don't know is happening, I couldn't find a free solution we liked. So we just stopped and it doesn't even matter. When I did track users, they never followed

Here are the terms in plain English for our musician users. http://coherebandwidth.com/about/terms/ Our Coworking space has these terms, which were heavily borrowed from IndyHall's who borrowed them from someone else. This isn't your everyday Terms of Service.We're people with a purpose.

Cohere coworking provides 24/7 access/trust from the moment someone becomes a member. As long as they have a tour or free day before joining, they get the same access on day 1 as any existing member. We are now 7 years old and have zero instances of anything going wrong. One time a weird dry

I've never sourced glass walls/offices but I'd be curious to know if you *really* need the expensive glass option or if you could build out with drywall but splurge on nice glass doors? This way you save some money, can have power on the walls and still get lots of light flowing in and out.

Iris, late to the party here but I'm anti-commission. Even incentivizing retention can lead to staff retaining for the wrong reasons. I'm all for a total compensation convo that is tailored to each member since it can be hard to provide a comfy living wage to coworking staffers. Maybe one

Hi Alex, GetARoomApp allows admins to create new "Companies" and "Users". Then, the admin assigns a number of hours to each Company that can be shared each month by the members of that Company. So, if your space has a company of 3 people that gets 12 hours of usage each month, each member of
