Touchdown spot

What is a touchdown spot?

A touchdown spot is a small, informal workspace where people can work for a short time without booking a desk or a room. It is often a standing desk, a high table or a lounge seat with power, used to answer email between meetings, finish a conversation or wait for the next meeting.

Where touchdown spots fit

Touchdown spots are useful near meeting rooms, entrances and kitchens, where people pass through and need somewhere to work for a few minutes. They are usually first come, first served rather than bookable.

Touchdown spots vs. bookable desks

A bookable desk is for longer focused work and often has a screen and dock. A touchdown spot is for short tasks and quick conversations. Offering both helps keep bookable desks free for the people who need them for the day.

How AskCody supports a flexible office

AskCody handles the bookable part of the office: rooms from Outlook and desks through AskCody desk booking, shown by area on a map, so people know where to go when a touchdown spot is not enough.
