Would you like to work from a cafe full time?

We run a similar business in the Czech Republic. We offer a monthly coffee subscription. Basically, you pay a fixed monthly fee in exchange for free coffee in our partner cafes. Many freelancers are using this service to get to know cafes around the city.

No, to much noise, too expensive to buy smth all the time, wrong setup

Well, full-time sounds very exhausting. Remote work let's us be wherever we feel like to, so I'd rather visit a couple of different places, including working in my own office, than spend the entire day in a cafe. I would need more details on the platform you mention to say what I'm thinking. It can be either awesome or totally bad.

check out: https://www.andco.life - it's £20 a month. unlimited usage (If I remember correctly) and a lot of cafes give you free tea/coffee. It builds footfall - and hopefully someone sitting around at a cafe all day might buy some food or help by marketing as a popular cafe. I would personally prefer something that works like cafe credits - gets me a coffee at 50% of the price, I pay a fixed amount for credits monthly. You can also include a free cushion for joining the platform as most cafes have very uncomfortable wooden seating - designed for short stays.

at the moment (with all cafe's closed for several months in Belgium) this sounds like a wonderful idea 😅 I have been involved in a project with a similar vision: https://www.thirdplaces.io/brand... feel free to reach out! as @wekh mentioned, I don't think that a full-time cafe is my preferred option. It may be nice to do some type of meetings (eg. with colleagues living close to your home) but I prefer a mix of different environments in the near future (sometimes at the office, some tasks I will do from home, etc.)

Not sure about the idea. I mean it's fine to work in a café from time to time (pre and post covid of course)... but that's definitely not a good option for full-time work (at least for me). In addition to this, if the subscription gets too expensive (let's say > 100-150$ per month), I would definitely prefer co-working spaces (they include sometimes coffee and snacks). They offer a better work atmosphere and you can meet more like-minded people than in a regular café.

From a personal point of view, I would rather work at home. Cafes can be sometimes noisy and distractive. But I'm sure there are some people who are better working at active and public spaces, but I'm sure they sometimes need their private space or time.

I would suggest you to opt for coworking space rather than a cafe. Working from cafe comes along with a lot of limitations and might seem fun and comfortable for a few days but not for long.

Probably! I love cafe sounds as cliched as that sounds. Looking forward to doing so once the pandemic ends
