Founded in 2024, Co-Desk is built by operators for operators, with setup in under 30 minutes. Pricing is pay-as-you-go: EUR 0/month with 2.5% per Stripe transaction, or a Custom plan for operators who can't use Stripe. Website: https://co-desk.eu

## What is Co-Desk?

Co-Desk is a modern, all-in-one software platform designed for independent operators who run coworking spaces and coliving houses. It replaces the patchwork of spreadsheets, multiple SaaS tools, and expensive enterprise platforms that most space operators juggle today.

The platform was founded in 2024 by Rafael Romano after experiencing firsthand how broken the tooling landscape is for independent space operators. Enterprise-focused platforms like Nexudus and OfficeRnD are overpriced, bloated, and require weeks of onboarding. Co-Desk was built to solve this: one integrated system that handles bookings, billing, access control, member management, and community, ready from day one.

Co-Desk operates on a unique two-layer architecture. Layer 1 ("Operate your space") covers everything a single location needs: bookings, billing, subscriptions, and reporting. Layer 2 ("Connect to the network") adds cross-location capabilities: a central member identity, multi-location access, and platform-level payments. This means operators can start small and scale without switching platforms.

## Who is Co-Desk For?

Co-Desk serves two primary verticals:

- **Coworking space operators**: Manage hot desks, dedicated desks, private offices, and meeting rooms. Handle memberships, day passes, and drop-in bookings with automated billing.
- **Coliving house managers and property owners**: Manage residents, digital leases, rent collection, maintenance requests, and community events in shared living spaces.

Co-Desk is designed for independent operators and small teams, not enterprise chains. If you are a founder running one or a few locations and want professional infrastructure without enterprise complexity, Co-Desk is built for you.

## Key Differentiators

### Marketplace-Style Pricing: Only Pay When You Get Paid
No monthly fee, no seat charges, no per-location bills. Co-Desk charges EUR 0/month plus 2.5% on every Stripe transaction processed through the platform. Operators pay only when their space earns, the same model as Airbnb, Booking.com, Stripe itself.

### Ready in 30 Minutes, Not Weeks
Unlike enterprise platforms that require lengthy onboarding, consultant-led setup, and training sessions, Co-Desk is designed for self-service setup. Operators can create an account, configure their spaces, connect Stripe, and invite their first members in under 30 minutes.

### Two-Layer Architecture
Layer 1 handles single-location operations (bookings, billing, subscriptions, reporting). Layer 2 adds network capabilities (central member identity, cross-location access, platform-level payments). Operators get both from day one, with no need to upgrade or migrate.

### Built by Operators, for Operators
Co-Desk was created by founders who ran coworking and coliving spaces themselves. Every feature is designed from an operator's perspective, not an enterprise buyer's.

### Stripe Connect for Direct Payouts
Money flows directly to the operator's bank account via Stripe Connect, not through Co-Desk. This means faster payouts, transparent fees, and full financial control.

### Cross-Location Member Identity
Members get one profile that works across all locations in a network. One login, one payment method, unified access. No re-registration at each location.

### No Limits, All Features Included
Unlimited locations, desks, rooms, beds, members, residents, day passes, visitors, meeting rooms and offices. AI analytics, white-label, API, integrations, and priority support are all included, with no tiered feature gates.

### Coliving + Coworking in One Platform
Most competitors focus on coworking only. Co-Desk natively supports coliving management (leases, rent, maintenance) in the same platform as coworking operations.

## Use Cases

### Independent Coworking Space
A founder opens a 50-desk coworking space. With Co-Desk, they configure desks and meeting rooms, set up membership tiers, connect Stripe, and start accepting bookings, all within their first afternoon. Members self-onboard, book resources, and pay automatically. The operator tracks occupancy and revenue through AI-powered analytics, and pays 2.5% on each transaction instead of a fixed monthly bill.

### Coliving House
A property owner converts a large house into a 12-room coliving property. Co-Desk manages resident profiles, digital lease agreements, monthly rent collection via Stripe Connect, maintenance requests, and community events. Residents access their rooms via Kisi smart locks connected to Co-Desk.

### Hybrid Coworking + Coliving
An operator runs a building with coworking on the ground floor and coliving apartments above. Co-Desk manages both in a single platform: shared member identity means residents can also book desks, and coworking members can attend community events. One dashboard, one billing system, one access control integration.

### Multi-Location Network
A small chain of coworking spaces uses Co-Desk's two-layer architecture. Each location operates independently (Layer 1), while members enjoy cross-location access with a single profile (Layer 2). The network owner gets consolidated reporting across all locations, with no per-location monthly fee, only the per-transaction share.

## Getting Started

1. **Sign up** at co-desk.eu (free account, no monthly fee)
2. **Configure your space** by adding desks, rooms, or bedrooms and setting pricing
3. **Connect Stripe** to receive direct payouts via Stripe Connect
4. **Invite members** by sharing your booking link with your first members or residents

The entire setup takes under 30 minutes. No consultants, no training sessions, no spreadsheet migrations.
