Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about hosting on DropDesk

What types of spaces can I list?
DropDesk helps spaces earn money by maximizing the use of unused space. Our Mission is to unlock the potential of underutilized spaces, connecting hosts with those seeking places to work, play, create, and celebrate. Work: Launch a site for booking a desk at a co-working space, a private office for the day, or a conference room for a meeting. Play: Enable customers to reserve time at a tennis court, a lane at a bowling alley, or a rehearsal room at a music studio. Create: A dedicated platform for listing and booking a hall for a wedding, a studio for a photoshoot, or a unique space for a corporate event. Celebrate: Launch a portal for purchasing tickets to attend a concert, sports game, theater show, or festival at a specific arena or venue.
How much can I earn as a host?
Host earnings vary based on space type, location, and availability. Offering a variety of packages (one-time, hourly, and subscriptions) help drive loyalty and more frequent bookings. Our top hosts earn thousands of extra dollars each month.
How do I know I received a booking or question from a user?
Booking requests, confirmations, and messages are sent to the Venue Manager (Host) of each location in the mobile app/web app. In the event the Venue Manager (Host) is away, you can quickly update who receives SMS notifications (by changing the contact email and phone number at the venue level).
Is there a fee to list my space?
Listing your space on DropDesk is completely free. We only charge a service fee on the bookings we bring you. See our fee schedule for more details.
How do I get paid?
We use Stripe—the industry gold standard for online payments—to process all venue payouts, ensuring security and compliance. Our system is designed to give you maximum flexibility: you can set up payouts to one central bank account, or you can assign a different bank account for each unique location you list on the platform.
What is expected of DropDesk Hosts?
Consistent Schedule: Keep your hours consistent. Be open at least 2 days a week and avoid irregular or early closing times so members can rely on your space. Accurate Listing: Be honest in your profile and set clear expectations. Provide clear address and access instructions in "Guest Instructions." Use high-quality, up-to-date photos that accurately represent your space, service or activity. Write a detailed description of the space, amenities, and host policies. Amenities: Provide a transparent list of included amenities. Timely Communication: Keep your contact info up to date and actively monitor your Email, SMS, and App notifications to respond promptly to all booking requests. Inform members in advance about any changes to your listing or hours. Cleanliness: Keep your space clean, tidy, and matching your profile photos. Clean all accessible rooms, especially restrooms and common areas. Ensure surfaces are free of dust/debris and remove trash regularly. Failure to meet our policies may result in account suspension or penalties.
Can I control my availability and pricing?
You have full control over your calendar, pricing, and booking requirements. You can block dates, set minimum booking times, and adjust prices anytime.
What kind of support do you provide?
We offer 24/7 customer support, dedicated account managers for active hosts, and comprehensive resources including guides, tutorials, and best practices to help you succeed. You can always reach out to our team using our Help Center.
How do refunds/cancellations work?
If a User cancels a Booking, the amount paid to you is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to that Booking. As a Host, you should specify the cancellation policy that applies to your specific Package. Users will be more likely to book your Package if there is a more flexible cancellation and refund policy. If no policy is stated, a User may always cancel and get a full refund 24 hours prior to the Booking start time. You may also issue refunds or agree to change a Booking in your discretion however bear in mind Stripe Fees on the original Booking are non-refundable. If you as a Host cancel a booking, a User is always entitled to a full refund. A Host should not cancel on a User without a valid reason.

Stop Burning Cash During the Day: Convert Your Restaurant into a Coworking Space

Restaurant margins are notoriously thin—often hovering between 3% and 6%. Yet, for many dinner-focused venues or spacious cafes, the biggest asset (the real estate) sits empty or underutilized for 40+ hours a week. Turning your restaurant into a coworking space isn't about pivoting away from food; it's about dayparting—using your quiet hours to generate a new, high-margin revenue stream.
