Desk booking is reserving a workspace before you travel to the office, usually through an app or an interactive floor plan. It replaced the fixed-desk model in most hybrid workplaces because attendance now varies day to day.
A good desk booking system does more than hold a seat. It shows where teammates are sitting, enforces rules like check-in and booking windows, and feeds utilisation data to the people planning the space. That data is usually the difference between guessing your office size and knowing it.
