Can WeWork members bring guests

Yeah, so WeWork members can totally bring guests to most spots, but honestly it kinda depends on your plan, the location, and what level of access you've got. Generally speaking, you're allowed to bring people into common areas and meeting rooms, but there's some fine print about how often, whether you gotta register them, and if they can wander into private offices or fancy amenities. Getting a handle on these rules means you can actually use your membership without getting hit with surprise fees or locked out of stuff.

Guest policy by membership type

WeWork's got a bunch of membership tiers, and they all handle guests differently. Here's a quick look at what each plan typically offers.

Just a heads up though—these rules can shift depending on where you are. Some busy WeWork buildings might clamp down harder on guests, especially during lunch rushes or afternoon chaos. Best bet is to check your specific location's vibe through the app or hit up the community team.

How do WeWork members register guests?

Registering guests is pretty simple, and you can do it through the WeWork app or just walk up to the front desk. For most folks, the app's the quickest route. Here's how it usually goes:

• Fire up the WeWork app and sign into your account.
• Find the "Visitors" or "Guests" tab—it might be in a different spot depending on your app version.
• Type in your guest's full name and email address.
• Pick the date and time they're coming.
• If you've got access to multiple buildings, choose the right one.
• Hit submit. Your guest gets a digital pass or QR code by email.
• If they show up unannounced, you can still check them in at the front desk with a valid ID.

Try to register guests at least 15 minutes before they arrive to avoid any awkward waiting. Some places also make guests sign a liability waiver when they walk in.

What are the restrictions for bringing guests to WeWork?

WeWork's pretty chill about guests, but there are a few rules you should know. Keeps things secure and productive for everyone.

• Frequency limits: Some plans cap how many times the same guest can come. Like, maybe three times a month before they need a day pass.
• Access to private offices: Guests aren't supposed to hang out in private offices unless you're right there with them. Security's a big deal here.
• Amenity usage: They usually can't use phone booths, printers, or event spaces unless you book it for them.
• Noise and behavior: Guests gotta follow the same rules as members. If they're disruptive, they might get kicked out, and you could face penalties.
• Age restrictions: Most locations don't let minors (under 18) in as guests unless it's part of an approved event.

Can guests use meeting rooms without a member present?

Nope, guests can't use meeting rooms if you're not there. WeWork's policy says you gotta book the room and be physically present the whole time. Here's why:

• Security: You're responsible for whatever your guests do.
• Accountability: Room bookings are tied to your account, so any damage or extra costs come back to you.
• Access control: Meeting rooms are locked and need your keycard or app to get in.

If you gotta leave early, you either end the booking or hand it off to another member. Guests can't just take over on their own.

What happens if a member brings an unregistered guest?

Bringing an unregistered guest can land you in hot water. How bad it gets depends on the location and how often you do it. Typical stuff includes:

• The guest gets turned away at the door by security or the front desk.
• You get a warning from the community team.
• If you keep doing it, you might lose guest privileges for a while.
• Worst case, your whole membership gets yanked, especially if the unregistered guest causes a security mess.

To dodge all that, just register guests ahead of time. If someone shows up out of the blue, check them in through the app or front desk right away.
