# LAUFT — Full Product Specification
Version: 2026-05-28

## Problem
Traditional office leases lock businesses into long-term contracts with high upfront costs. Remote workers and distributed teams need professional workspace on demand without the overhead. Existing coworking solutions often have opaque pricing, require memberships, or lack the flexibility modern workers need.

## Solution
LAUFT provides a network of flexible, on-demand workspaces across Canada. Users can book desks, private offices, workrooms, boardrooms, and workshop spaces by the hour or day through the LAUFT app or web dashboard. No memberships required — just transparent, pay-as-you-go pricing.
