Desk booking
What is desk booking?
Desk booking is a way for employees to reserve a desk for a day or part of a day, either ahead of time or on the spot, in an office where desks are not permanently assigned. It lets people plan office days, sit near their team and avoid arriving to a full floor.
Why desk booking matters
In a hybrid office, not everyone comes in every day, so fixed desks sit empty while other areas overflow. Desk booking matches desks to the people actually coming in and gives workplace teams data on how many desks are really needed.
Desk booking, hot desking and hoteling
Hot desking means taking any free desk on arrival. Desk hoteling means reserving a desk in advance. Desk booking systems support both, and many offices mix them.

Frequently asked questions
Do you need desk booking if most people work from home?
Desk booking matters most when attendance varies. It helps people find a desk on busy days and shows how many desks you actually need.
Can desk booking help teams sit together?
Yes. Booking ahead with a map makes it easy to reserve desks in the same area as your colleagues.
