[Booking Desks](https://help.deskfound.com/booking-desks?hsLang=en) # How to book a desk ## Book a desk for a day, a morning or an afternoon from the booking page ## Quick answer **Where:** This article covers the **web app** ([app.deskfound.com](https://app.deskfound.com)). You can also book a desk in Slack with `/book` (see *Booking a desk in Slack*) or by scanning a desk's QR code. Parking, meeting rooms, repeating bookings and booking for others are web app only. On the booking page, find a free desk on the day you want and click **Book**. That's it. The desk shows your name and photo, and everyone can see you're coming in. ## Step by step 1. Open [app.deskfound.com/book](https://app.deskfound.com/book). It opens on your primary office and the current week. 2. To book at another office, click the **office name at the top left of the web app** and choose a different location. 3. To change weeks, click the **arrows** beside the dates. Hover over an arrow for **Jump to date** or **Current week**. 4. Find a desk that's free on your day and click **Book**. Desks are grouped by area (for example "Sales Area"). Desks that aren't in an area are listed under **General Area**. ## Half-day bookings If your office allows half days, each day shows two buttons: **Book AM** and **Book PM**. You can book the morning, the afternoon, or both. Someone else can book the other half of the same desk. ## More booking options Click the **⋮** button next to **Book** to open **Customize booking**. From there you can: - **Repeat weekly:** book the same desk on the same days every week. See *Repeating bookings*. - **Book for:** book the desk for a colleague or a guest, if your company allows it. See *Booking a desk for someone else*. ## What the desk labels mean - **Book:** the desk is free. A greyed-out Book means the day is in the past or beyond how far ahead your office allows booking. - **A name and photo:** someone has booked it. A green check mark means they've checked in. - **Hot Desk:** anyone can book this desk. - **Dedicated:** the desk belongs to one person every day, and nobody can book it, including its owner. - **Unavailable:** the desk can't be booked. - **Reserved:** an admin has held the desk for that day. Hover over it to see why, if they gave a reason. - **Closed:** the office is closed that day. ## Already booked somewhere that day? You can have one full-day booking per day, or one morning plus one afternoon. If a new booking clashes with one you already have, Deskfound asks whether you want to move to the new desk. If you book at a different office from the one you've already booked that day, it asks you to confirm. ## Other ways to book - **In Slack:** type `/book`. See *Booking a desk in Slack*. - **With the QR code on a desk:** see *Booking a desk with its QR code*. - **From your favourites:** star the desks you like and use the **Favourites** tab. See *Favourite desks*. - [Troubleshooting](https://help.deskfound.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en) - [Admin Setup](https://help.deskfound.com/admin-setup?hsLang=en) - [Getting Started](https://help.deskfound.com/getting-started?hsLang=en) - [Office Extras](https://help.deskfound.com/office-extras?hsLang=en) - [Booking Desks](https://help.deskfound.com/booking-desks?hsLang=en) - [Slack](https://help.deskfound.com/slack?hsLang=en) - [Users](https://help.deskfound.com/users?hsLang=en) - [Account & Billing](https://help.deskfound.com/account-billing?hsLang=en) [![deskfound-logo(500w)](https://help.deskfound.com/hs-fs/hubfs/deskfound-logo(500w).png?width=100&height=20&name=deskfound-logo(500w).png "deskfound-logo(500w)")](https://help.deskfound.com/?hsLang=en) Copyright © 2026, Deskfound Software Inc.
