Gregory, We at KISI work a lot with coworking spaces. We recently published an instruction on how to build a Slack Doorbell for your shared space. Could be really helpful especially when you look into Slack

[Coworking] Re: Amenities Offered - Feedback

Farhan, Many of our customers at KISI say that office automation in general increases the value. If you can show potential customers a cool smartphone app to unlock the door and in the next sentence tell them about how it makes the office more secure, that usually

[Coworking] Re: Advice Requested - New Space in NY

Daniel, That's a great idea! I agree with Tony, but would go one step before: Start with observing the neighborhood. How can people get there, is there a subway line that allows easy commute? Are there new coffee shops or retail stores opening (meaning the area is coming up), etc. I'd also

Not sure if it helps but since you are asking for "the best" mobile app for coworking: We've recently moved in a space called NewLab and they definitely have THE best mobile app I've seen so far. However it's all custom built - we even order food through mobile. On

Re: [Coworking] How many memberships can I offer?

Hey Jerome that's interesting stats, do you have a reference to those workplace studies? @Tracey: We found the "overbooking capacity" highly depends on a couple of factors: - community in the space (tighter community > people hang around more and stay longer in the space) - location (big

[Coworking] Re: Keyless entry + user ID counter

Ruth, That's a very good question and good point to consider when coming up with a business plan (which most people already aren't aware of). I might be a bit biased since I am one of the founders at getkisi.com but we certainly allow the following: - Automatically provision keys onto

[Coworking] Re: Keyless entry + user ID counter

Angel, I think there are 2 cases here: - Greeting and onboarding a new member (most spaces I know set up times to do that and don't really allow walk-ins) - Giving members who are already onboarded access to the space To do the first task I think Ruth is correct, she doesn't need someone

[Coworking] Re: Keyless entry + user ID counter

Hey Rachael, Thanks for the questions and I like your model you described! What I've seen working is to just keep the door locked during business hours. It might seem a bit unfriendly first but everyone will feel more secure and will be happier to hang out in the space because not everyone

[Coworking] Re: Monthly Costs for a business plan

Cecilia, Coffee is definitely a significant cost, probably more so than administration software. What I don't see on your list is: - IT: IT services, IT equipment like printer, access points, routers, internet connectivity, etc - Security: Alarm services or access control (depending on size of

Re: [Coworking] Question about commissions or bonuses for Community Managers

I think generally a good idea IF you can get a better quality community manager (e.g. former entrepreneur, etc) for the job - similar to the comment Alex Linsker had that where he sees it mostly with partners, so the goal is to have a high end community manager :) However those I'd rather
