Coworking scheduling software for meeting rooms, pods, and shared spaces

With Picktime’s coworking scheduling software, members can book available meeting rooms, pods, and event spaces through your Booking Page without checking with the front desk. Set up each space as a bookable resource, manage its availability in Picktime, and keep every reservation visible on the calendar.

For weekly room reservations, Recurring Bookings let your team schedule repeat bookings without adding each one separately. This coworking space booking software gives community managers one place to manage shared spaces and members a simpler way to book what is available.

How it works for you

Built for shared spaces that change hands all day

Meeting rooms, phone booths, podcast studios, and event spaces may be booked by different people throughout the day. Picktime’s coworking scheduling software lets your team manage room availability while members see bookable times on the Booking Page. Your team can review reservations in the online calendar.

Put every bookable space on one booking page

Add meeting rooms, pods, phone booths, podcast studios, and event spaces as resources in Picktime. With Picktime’s coworking booking software, members can open your Booking Page, choose a space, and reserve an available time on their own.

Set when and how each space can be booked

Control availability and booking rules for your shared spaces, including how far ahead people can book and how much notice you require. When Approve Bookings is enabled, your team can review eligible requests before confirming them. Bookings paid for online may be confirmed automatically.

Rules set per space: the phone booths bookable up to 14 days ahead with notice required, the podcast studio reviewed by the team before it is confirmed, and the event space confirmed once it is paid for online

Release rooms when nobody checks in

Mount a tablet outside a meeting room or pod with Picktime Rooms. Members can see whether the room is available, waiting for a booking, or busy. When they arrive, they can check in using their booking code on the room display. If nobody checks in before the countdown ends, the room can be released automatically so it becomes available again instead of sitting unused.

Take payment for spaces you charge to book

If you rent out a boardroom, training room, podcast studio, or event space, you can collect payment as part of the booking process. The reservation, resource availability, and payment stay connected in Picktime, giving the team one place to manage paid space bookings.

One space, one reservation at a time

Keep the same pod from being booked twice

Once a pod, meeting room, or other shared resource is booked, that time is no longer available for someone else to take. Picktime’s coworking space scheduling software checks each resource’s availability before showing open times on the Booking Page, helping prevent overlapping reservations.

You can manage other bookable equipment, such as podcast gear or shared AV equipment, as resources too, with their own availability. For coworking spaces with more than one location, each site can have its own rooms and bookable resources, so members see availability only for the location they choose.

Visiting teams can book without becoming members

Share a booking link with guests, clients, and outside teams

A member’s client, a visiting team, or a candidate coming in for an interview may still need a meeting room even if they do not have a coworking membership. Your coworking booking system can also accommodate guests. Share a public Picktime Booking Page link so visiting teams can choose an available room and reserve it themselves.

Collect guests’ names and contact details during booking, then use Intake Forms to ask for booking-specific information, such as their company name, meeting purpose, or special requirements. The booking is added to Picktime with those details, so the front desk does not have to arrange every guest room booking over email.

Two members are waiting for the same pod, and both think they booked it

It is five to eleven on a Tuesday. Two members are outside the only four-seat pod, both about to join a call. One asked the front desk to hold it on Friday. The other wrote their name on the whiteboard by the kitchen. Two rooms away, another pod has been reserved since ten, but nobody ever checked in.

This is the kind of room conflict a community manager ends up sorting out when bookings live across conversations, notes, and whiteboards.

Picktime’s coworking space booking system lets members book rooms, booths, and studios through a Booking Page, while your team reviews reservations in the Online Calendar. Once a space is booked, that time is no longer offered to someone else. With Picktime Rooms, if nobody checks in before the countdown ends, the unused room can be released automatically and made available again.

03

Share the booking page where members will use it

Make coworking booking easier for members by sharing your Booking Page in welcome emails, adding the link to your member portal, or displaying a QR code around the workspace. For meeting rooms and pods, Picktime Rooms can run on a tablet outside the door so people can see the room status, check in, and know whether the space is available, busy, or waiting.

AI Receptionist

Handle booking calls without keeping the front desk tied up

If someone calls to arrange a coworking tour or consultation, Picktime’s AI Receptionist can answer and help them book an available appointment.

In your coworking scheduling software, those appointments appear in the online calendar so your front desk can review upcoming tours and consultations.

Your team can review call summaries and transcripts to see what callers asked and which appointments were booked.

Works with what you use

Connect Picktime with the tools already in your workflow

Keep calendars and room payments connected

Use Calendar Sync to keep supported appointments connected to Google, Outlook, iCloud, or Exchange calendars. Room and equipment reservations remain managed in Picktime’s Online Calendar. Connect a supported payment provider, such as PayPal, Stripe, or Square, when you want members to pay for room or event-space bookings online.

For rooms and spaces you charge for, you can collect the full amount or a deposit during booking.

Manage bookings from any device

Members can book from your online booking page on a phone, laptop, or tablet with nothing to install. For teams looking for a coworking booking app, Picktime’s iOS and Android Mobile Apps let staff review and manage schedules away from the front desk.

Why coworking spaces choose Picktime for room bookings

Picktime’s coworking scheduling software brings room and equipment reservations into one online calendar, so community managers can see what is booked without checking separate lists or messages. When a room needs maintenance or is temporarily unavailable, your team can update its resource schedule so those times are no longer offered on the booking page.

For regular room use, recurring bookings keep repeat reservations on the calendar without recreating them every week. Picktime Rooms adds check-in support and live room status at the door, and unused rooms can be released automatically when nobody checks in.

Booking rules and approvals give your team more control over how spaces are reserved, while booking links and QR codes make it easy to give members direct access to the spaces they use most.

Coworking operators can collect online payments for room and event-space bookings and manage multiple locations from one account. Calendar Sync keeps supported appointments connected to Google or Outlook calendars, while room reservations remain managed in Picktime. Members get a simple way to find and book available space, while community managers get a clearer view of reservations, availability, and day-to-day room use across the workspace.
