Get your venue profile ready
Paid amenities are any services, other than work or meeting spaces, that you offer to your members (e.g., mail service, delicious coffee, etc.)
You can create a plan for a paid amenity, or choose to include the amenity as part of another plan, but first you will need to set up your paid amenities on the Edit Your Space page.

Setup Guide
Create your plans
Unlike the prices set on Edit Your Space for one-off bookings, plans are intended for members or teams who use your venue on a regular basis.
You can create an unlimited number of plans, and they can be customized to suit your members’ needs.

Setup Guide
Create your plans
When a plan is assigned to a team, the people in the team are able to share the plan allowance.
E.g., a team of 5 people, who each need around 10 hours of meeting room time per month, could share a 50 hours per month plan.
Ready to get started with creating plans for your members and teams? Go to your Venue Dashboard.
