Re: [Coworking] Re: How do you effectively track hourly members
Our system, Nadine, gathers network information as well but we don't use it for billing. We specifically use a manual sign-in at the front desk for billing and we use the network info to send gentle reminders if someone has forgotten to sign in. We also don't do hourly as we are all about getting people to be relaxed and present in the space, not rushing in and out. Since we only do the day, there is no need to sign out. This is the best way we've found to balance out a number of different factors and situations.

We opted to not micro-manage this process and in 4 years I've only had to have a challenging conversation with one member who immediately fell back in to the parameters of his membership :) Angel On Wednesday, January 15, 2014 5:18:37 PM UTC-7, Chris Thompson wrote: How does your coworking space effectively track hourly members?

[Coworking] Re: How do you effectively track hourly members
Hi Chris, At our coworking space co.up we use Cobot http://cobot.me, an app done by ourselves but available to all coworking spaces. We link Cobot to the wireless so anyone coming in is automatically check in upon connecting to the internet. It lets us control hourly passes like this and let members buy more passes without leaving their computer if they need to work for some extra time. Hope this help! If you have any questions write me at crist...@cobot.me and I can send you more info or give you a call to talk.
