Easy to implement and user friendly if you need a simple space booking solution
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our organization has grown quite a bit over the past 1.5 years, which means our limited office space can sometimes be too small for our in-person needs. As a result, we need to carefully manage the space, so that our in-person programming can happen smoothly. Especially with more of our programs returning to in-person rather than remotely, we needed a system to know who was going to be in the office when, and which rooms / spaces were available when.
Pros
- Can add photo and description for each room that is available for booking
- Can see the full schedule of what has been reserved, both by day / week and by room
- Custom fields for staff to enter info about what the space is being used for when they reserve it
Cons
- Better visibility of who has booked which space
- More pricing tiers -- the free version is not quite enough, but the cheapest paid version has way more features than we need
- When booking a space, some of the fields to customize the details on what the space is being used for are not intuitive / obvious enough, so my staff often do it incorrectly
Most Important Features
- Photo / description of each reservable space
- Ability to book in advance
- User-friendly and easy to navigate -- requires very little 'onboarding' to teach staff how to use it
Return on Investment
- Less stress for staff wondering if a space is going to be occupied when they need it for an in-person program
- Assurance for our therapists that they can ensure a private space when meeting with clients
- Easy for administrators / less busy-work managing the space. When someone needs a space, I just tell them "book it on QReserve!"
