SQL for Workspace Utilization

HardSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Write a SQL query to analyze workspace utilization by location and month, joining bookings, members, and locations tables to identify underperforming WeWork sites.

Use confirmed bookings made by active members. Define utilization as booked hours divided by available hours on days with confirmed bookings, assuming 8 available hours per desk per day. A site is underperforming when utilization is below 50%.

Output

  1. One row per underperforming location and month.
  2. Return location_name, month, booked_hours, utilization_pct, and underperforming.
  3. Sort by month, then location_name.
