Officely's a Slack app (where Café is a iOS+Android+Web app)

Also, Officely have more restrictive features (you can't do everything within Slack)

1. Café can't "automatically correct" your status, but if you're using the Slack integration, you'll see that what's displayed isn't right.

2. We're working on the Calendar integrations (Google Calendar and MS Outlook) to crack that topic

3. Yup, it's even linked with the company's HR system to automatically sync your paid leaves in Café!

We thought about that feature, it would be "subscribe to someone" and being able to see your "highlights" as well are your team. I would answer your parking problem I guesss!

Hope your spidey senses are working fine!

We offer a free plan up to 50 seats for team that want to use Café with their own team indeed. The most value comes when the whole company is on the product though.

Thanks for the support

Thanks, really appreciate!

We plan to focus on the Social experience between people (from the same company at first, then we'll see!)

We only use Slack as a display channel because our value is in the agenda visibility.

If Slack rolls out a "work location status" it'll be mostly for the "right now" moment (like our integration) and if they plan to extend this feature in an agenda, it'll be very difficult to make it exist within all the other features that are for "live communication"

Every admin can set the max office capacity (nb of seats) and when reaching that limit, people need to double confirm they want to go to the office while there's an over capacity.

If there's an over capacity, we give the information to everyone (users & admins) and let admins resolve this conflict with a dataset of info (like the position in the queue or the teams)

In your case, if people don't pay attention to the "booking system" then they can't complain about not getting access to your office though

We've also talked to someone from Sqreen (acquired by Datadog) who did the same, a simple app for internal purposes

Would love to have your feedback & impression on the product if you're down for a quick call
