Users in Singapore, Australia, Ireland, and the UK can now book workspaces on a per-day basis and conference rooms by the hour through the new app, which is available in 47 cities globally.

Users of On Demand will also have access to stable connectivity and amenities such as phone booths, business-class printers, and unique common areas. Onsite staff will still be present and health and safety measures are regularly implemented.
