Offset office costs
Put idle square footage to work. Many hosts in Monterey Bay start around $35/hour for a meeting room or private office for six.

The opportunity
Paying rent on space you rarely use?
Remote work changed how teams meet — but they still need professional rooms for client sessions, interviews, and focused work. Your unused conference room or private office can earn while you keep using it the rest of the week.
We bring the demand
Hellodesk markets your listing, handles online booking, and processes payments — you focus on hosting great experiences.
You stay in control
Set pricing, availability, and house rules. Approve bookings on your schedule and use your space whenever you need it.

Network effect
Meet founders, consultants, and teams who may become customers for your primary business.
Community

FAQ
Host questions, answered
Who books my space?
Professionals who need a meeting room or private office for a few hours — client meetings, interviews, depositions, team sessions, and focused work while traveling. They pay for flexibility instead of signing a lease.
Are there upfront costs to sign up?
Not for early hosts right now. We normally charge a one-time $200 setup fee, currently waived for the first 100 hosts or until the end of 2026. Hellodesk earns when you earn.
How much should I charge?
It depends on your city and space type. In Downtown Monterey, private offices and six-person meeting rooms often perform well around $35/hour. We work with you to find a starting price and adjust based on demand.
How do I get paid?
Hellodesk sends monthly checks after deducting our 30% commission and Stripe payment processing (2.9% + 30¢ per transaction). You receive 70% of the remaining booking revenue.
What if I need my room back?
You control your calendar and availability. Block times when your team needs the space and open hours when you want bookings.
