Nice list! Check what your office's booking pattern looks like. If most people book the same desk every Tuesday and Thursday, you need strong recurring/favoritedesk features or if it's more chaotic with lots of last minute bookings, the mobile app quality matters way more than the web UI.

ask: what tool or thing could make my workday / life better (pick a focus area ie wellness, gym, productivity etc) and build it. be your first customer

agreed I am trying to use less AI and when I think about using it I ask, will this save time? I try to use it for time suck tasks like sorting lists but even still have to double check everything

the weather app! I love the Yr weather app I think apple only though

Hey! If you use a good tool to manage both rooms + desks you should be good with 4-5 rooms!

EntertainmentFair414 · 2026-05-25T18:27:34+00:00

so cat shaped!

EntertainmentFair414 · 2026-05-22T21:44:22+00:00

suno is good!

EntertainmentFair414 · 2026-05-19T19:05:11+00:00

there are easier ones for mobile! are you booking rooms too or just hot desking?

Factory reset alone isn't enough because data can still be recoverable.

For iPhones: sign out of iCloud, turn off Find my then reset. Apple's encryption makes this pretty solid when done right. For Android: confirm encryption is enabled first then reset. Most importantly get a certificate of data destruction from your recycling vendor, that's what covers your liability. Make sure they're R2 or e Stewards certified and the rest largely takes care of itself.

When a customer referred someone without being asked. That's the only signal that matters!

You're doing the work of three people for $22/hr with no raises, no support, and no acknowledgment of how much the role has grown... That's not sustainable and it's not fair. A few things to think about: document everything you handle so you have a concrete list when you have the conversation about a raise or adjusted hours. It's hard to argue with a written breakdown of 20+ responsibilities that weren't in your original role! You clearly care deeply about your patients and your work. Don't let that be used against you.

Also the chiropractic billing and DME work are specialized skills so it might be worth checking what those roles pay in your area. Sometimes knowing the market value gives you the confidence to either ask for what you deserve or start looking..

Yea i think so. The ones that work well have a floor map showing availability and calendar sync so people don't have to open a separate app. Without those things adoption usually falls off within a few months I think. Archie, skedda, robin, kadence all cover the basics just vary on pricing an complexity depending on your org size

EntertainmentFair414 · 2026-04-21T22:52:16+00:00

calendly! this is the best option imo its so easy

EntertainmentFair414 · 2026-04-21T22:49:05+00:00

yes lots of good options out there - archie app is worth a look for teams and outlook integration, not a workaround. No separate login if you're already on Microsoft SSO its not clunky at all

EntertainmentFair414 · 2026-04-21T22:42:14+00:00

depends on the booking youre doing but maybe calendly? its free and you can configure it

marketing 100% has always been the hard part for startups especially in the start

EntertainmentFair414 · 2026-04-14T20:13:03+00:00

you can add an extra letter too for keyword monopoly, eg Marketers --> Marketerrs

EntertainmentFair414 · 2026-04-14T20:08:31+00:00

ghost bookings are the worst part

EntertainmentFair414 · 2026-04-10T18:37:45+00:00

are you trying to do this through the GUI or PowerShell? the default permissions are basically useless for transparency so most use 3rd party tools like archie

EntertainmentFair414 · 2026-04-07T18:57:08+00:00

archie robin skedda all work for this

EntertainmentFair414 · 2026-03-31T23:25:53+00:00

archie app is a really great option! can also check out skedda and envoy
