The need to take calls and answer emails while out and about, or simply work from a third space (away from home or the office) has now become commonplace. It's no surprise that soundproof work booths or meeting pods have now popped up in various public places, whether in shopping malls, train stations, coffee shops, and airports.

If you've encountered these work booths before, you probably thought, “I know a lot of other places this could be perfect for." Perhaps a space you even own or operate yourself.
Then, other questions come up, such as
How are these different brands different from each other?
Where do I get these booths and get started on this business model?
(And, now that you’re reading this article) How is this QUBIC Smart Booth from BOOQED any different?
We’ll answer these for you, so read on.
In a previous blog post, we’ve covered the features of booths readily available in the market and how different booth vendors generally offer the same features at varying degrees of quality, with design aesthetic being the key differentiator. These commonly found features include sound isolation, easy setup (within a few hours), lighting, ventilation, and more.
However, what makes these booths for public use at malls and train stations different is that they have other functionalities to make it possible for guests to use them on-demand and make payments, and easy for the managers of the space/building to manage them remotely.
So, if you were to start with setting up an on-demand work booth business or amenity from scratch, you’ll likely have to do a lot of custom work yourself as soon as you’ve purchased a regular booth.
For example, you’ll need to add an access control system so that only those who’ve made a booking or those with a special access code (such as your facility staff) can enter the booth.
You’ll also need software that works with this access control system, namely for guests to book their time slot, and for an administrator to see booking data, manage bookings, set availability, and more.
If this DIY idea sounds difficult for you, (think about hiring the team, sourcing components, and so on, which can take you a few months), fortunately, a product like QUBIC Smart Booths would be the perfect solution to this problem.
