What WorkCafe is
WorkCafe is Yardi’s workplace coordination platform for companies managing hybrid teams and operators serving tenants across buildings. Teams can coordinate attendance and book office desks, meeting rooms, and coworking spaces through one app. Its network includes more than 3,000 vetted coworking spaces worldwide, with budgets, approvals, and bookings handled in one place. Headquarters booking includes interactive floor plans, live desk and room availability, and booking from any device. Visitor tools cover guest pre-registration, digital invitations, check-in notifications, badge printing, and visitor logs. Administrators can set spending limits by team, location, or cost center and apply approval rules. Workspace reporting shows usage trends and can help identify underused space. Building operators can manage maintenance requests, amenity reservations, and building communications, and view occupancy and service demand across a portfolio. WorkCafe for Buildings runs inside Yardi Voyager, where tenant and employee activity is stored in the customer’s Voyager database. HQ Platform is listed at $5 a month per resource, such as a desk or meeting room; Visitor Management is $399 a month per location.
