Re: [Coworking] Re: Google calendars for reserving conference rooms
Ooo, Jon. I thank you, my not-terribly-technically-fluent coworkers thank you. :-) Thanks for the tip!

At BizHaus in Los Angeles, we've been using www.getaroomapp.com and our members like it. It's able to put limits on how many hours each member can use the room monthly. And the owner of the app, Rich, is super-responsive.

We also use Google Calendar for reservations and we have the same problem. The less technically fluent coworkers blocak out their time on their own Google Calendar and miss the drop down that would ptu it on the shared calendar. Also with Apple users who do the same thing, apparently the integration there is truicky. Either I or one of the Communty Managers usually shows them how to do it the first time. I used Skitch to make a cheat sheet for folks, which I give them at that time. This leaves about 15% who just keep having trouble/need some hand holding. I have tried several things for this but int he end mostly they send us an emaila nd we book it in for them. These folks tend not to book in much, after two or three tries everybody else catches on. :-) Cheers, Jeannine On Wednesday, September 30, 2015 at 10:48:40 PM UTC+2, Aloma Loren wrote: > > We've been using Google calendars to allow our members to reserve the > conference rooms and it has worked really well so far. > The only issue we've run into is user based with people who aren't > familiar with Google calendars.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Google calendars for reserving conference rooms
I recommend trying https://youcanbook.me. It adds a nice layer of user experience over your existing Google Calendars. We've been using it for the last year at The Skiff and it's removed all the manual steps in our room booking process.

[Coworking] Re: Google calendars for reserving conference rooms
I am also using Nexudus for the complete management of my coworking space - www.coworking4you.com It provides not only calendar management of our meeting rooms, but also takes care for automatic invoicing of these bookings. Additionally it provides a lot of functionality for offering different price plans, member directory, and and and Nexudus helped me to completely automate my space. Am Mittwoch, 30.
