FINDING, reserving and utilizing spaces for work and play activities just got easier and more exciting with GoSPCE, a booking and hospitality operations platform that brings together owners of spaces with an increasingly large market interested in booking them.
“GoSPCE is both a discovery and booking experience for consumers as well as a full end-to-end hospitality operations automation platform for space owners,” said Randy McGraw, co-founder of ALTUS Digital Capital—the owner-operator private equity firm that is driving the regional expansion of GoSPCE. “Owners of any type of space that can be used for work or play purposes can list, shape, price and market their spaces—whether conventional or unexpected spaces—define what activities can be conducted there, and find interested consumer segments by using online marketing tools offered by the platform or via our own marketing in their behalf.”
GoSPCE has a billing gateway and automated check-in/check-out function that enables a seamless transaction for both Guest and Host.
