“Easy to use and very helpful!”

Nov 10, 2020

For an engineering office, it is convenient to have a central scheduling system for our only conference room. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has helped us never double book our only conference room. It gives everyone the freedom to schedule the conference room themselves without having to go through the admin team. So great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

“Convenience for your room booking”

Aug 09, 2023

The room booking is quite easy and it is clearly visible and easy to set up for the non technical users as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Users actually know which desk/meeting room they have booked and where they have to sit so no issues for the overlapping booking for the meeting rooms and desks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

“Great app – Does what it says on the tin!”

Aug 04, 2023

The mobile app works nicely when I am in a rush. The booking platform is easy to use. The UI is user friendly and the customisable office layouts are really cool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Makes sure that everyone can book desk in advance as well as meeting rooms (synced with google calendar). Makes sure that I can book the right desk for the day and I can have a guaranteed place for meetings when the office is busy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

“Awesome tool for desk/room reservation”

Jul 12, 2023

It shows the actual situation of the office, I can choose the desk which is free, I can also set up a schedule so I do not need to book the desk every day, it’s easy and it works flawlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s solving problems that no one is fighting for some space in the office, everyone knows if the desk/room is available and can book some other if needed and available. That for sure saves some workplace conflicts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a desk booking system?

A desk booking system is a digital tool that simplifies reserving workstations in an office. These systems, like Joan, allow employees to browse available desks through a user-friendly interface (like an app), filtering by location, amenities, and time. This streamlines the office experience for employees and optimizes workspace usage for businesses.

What does it mean to book a desk in an office?

Booking a desk in an office refers to securing a specific workspace for yourself on a particular day or time slot. This is often done through a desk booking system, like Joan. Joan makes booking desks quick and easy, ensuring you have a designated spot to work productively when you head into the office.

How do I book a desk using the Joan Desk booking app?

To book a desk with the Joan Desk booking app, simply log in, select your location, pick a date and time, and choose an available desk from the interactive floor plan. Green desks indicate availability. Once selected, confirm your reservation, and you’re all set. Bookings can also be edited or canceled directly within the app.

Can I restrict which desks a team or department can book?

Yes, Joan Desk booking supports departmental booking rules:

  • Some desks can be fixed to a particular user (non‑reservable by others).
  • You can create Departments, assign users, and assign desks to those Departments so only members of that Department can reserve them.
  • You can also set occupancy limits per department to maintain distancing.

How are office floor plans used in the Joan desk booking app?

Admins can upload floor plan images in JPG or PNG format to visually represent your office layout. Desks are then added and positioned on the floor plan. Users can see the live floor plan in the Joan desk booking app and reserve desks based on real-time availability.

Does the Joan Desk booking system offer analytics or reporting?

Yes, Joan provides analytics tools that give insights into desk usage, occupancy trends, and booking behaviors. Admins can filter data by location, date, or department and export reports for further analysis. This helps optimize office space and supports data-driven decisions.

Can I manage multiple buildings or floors with Joan Desk booking?

Absolutely. The Joan Desk booking app supports unlimited floors and buildings. You can configure separate layouts for each space and manage them all from one central admin dashboard.

Can I create recurring desk bookings?

Yes, the Joan Desk booking app supports recurring reservations, ideal for employees with consistent in-office schedules. You can set up daily, weekly, or custom recurring bookings to save time.

What happens if someone doesn’t check in to their reserved desk?

If a user fails to check in within the designated timeframe, the Joan Desk booking system will automatically release the reservation, making the desk available to others. This helps prevent no-shows from reducing available workspace.

How does QR code check-in work with the Joan Desk booking system?

With the Joan Desk booking app, QR codes make reserving and checking into a desk quick, secure, and contactless. You can secure your preferred desk in advance using the mobile app, and when you arrive at the office, simply scan the QR code at the desk to confirm your reservation.

If you haven’t booked in advance, you can also scan a QR code on the spot to instantly book an available desk. If your first choice isn’t free, the Joan desk booking system will recommend nearby alternatives in real-time, so you’ll always find a great place to work with zero hassle. Plus, the app sends you a reminder notification when it’s time to check in, so you’ll never miss your reservation.
