Increasing Revenue with Passes and Bucket Plans

Selling plans for full-time spaces—like private offices or dedicated desks—is a given. But the incremental revenue from plans for part-time space, such as Buckets of Conference Room Hours or 10-Day Passes per Month, can be the difference between just making it and turning a strong profit. These flexible options help you maximize space utilization, appeal to more members, and create new revenue streams.

Setting Up Membership Plans that Auto-Track Usage

Deskworks allows you to build flexible membership plans that automatically track member usage. You can offer a mix of monthly and as-needed plans depending on how your members use your space.

Monthly Plans that Count Passes

Examples:

• Day Office: 5 Days per Month

• 20 Conference Room Hours per Month

• Virtual Office Plus (includes 2 half-day passes per month)

These plans automatically count down as members use their allocated time or passes each month.

“As Needed” Plans that Auto-Refill

Examples:

• Bucket of 10 Meeting Room Hours

• Bucket of 20 Day Passes

When members use up their balance, Deskworks can automatically renew the plan and schedule a payment. This ensures continued access while generating consistent recurring revenue. Alternatively, the plan can automatically be terminated when used up. 

Plans for Teams

Deskworks makes it easy to manage and track usage for teams or shared memberships.

• Shared Buckets: Create a shared Bucket of 20 Day Passes and set it to track “by co-member.” Each time a team member checks in, a pass is automatically decremented from the shared pool.

• Multiple Recurring Billings: Assign separate recurring billings to manage different levels of access within one organization.

  • Private Office #2 for Co-Member A → Full-time, no tracking.

  • 20 Day Pass/Mo. Plan for Co-Members B, C, D → Usage tracked against this plan.

  • Unlimited Coworking Plans for remaining members.

This approach gives teams flexibility while allowing operators to maintain accurate visibility into usage and billing.

Usage Tracking Tools, Reports & Analysis

Deskworks includes built-in tools that help you monitor member activity and analyze how your space is being used.

Intelligent Network Check-In

Usage tracking can be automated with Intelligent Network Check-In, which captures member activity through your WiFi network. When members connect, Deskworks automatically tracks their presence and applies it to the appropriate plan.

Usage Sidebar

The USAGE tab in your sidebar gives you multiple views comparing a member’s usage against their plan, with data flowing directly through to billing for seamless accuracy.

Reports to Review

• Check-In Report → View daily attendance and member activity. Hover over each day to see total check-ins.

• Day Pass Usage Report → Review the number of passes used and revenue generated from day passes.

• Reservation Income Report → Track reservation revenue before and after passes/credits are applied.  

• Income by Item Report → Analyze revenue by item type for any date range, helping you identify your most profitable offerings.

Key Takeaways

By offering passes and bucket plans, you can:

• Increase revenue from part-time or vacant spaces.

• Improve space utilization and member flexibility.

• Streamline billing with automated usage tracking.

These tools give you deeper insight into how your space is used—and how to make the most of every square foot.
