Can't the cafe just charge by the hour, like a co-working space ?

- hiAndrewQuinn 2y agoCharging by the month, like Costco, is likely to be a much better strategy. Network effects and all that.
- eloisius 2y agoThey can, but then that sucks for cafe customers that just want a latte, and don't want to "co-work." It's a problem where a few people are ruining something for the majority. I guess you could do some kind of "first 60 minutes included with purchase of drink" or something, but it all just seems so complicated.

- chongli 2y agoYeah the issue is getting staff to police that. Staff simply do not care and do not want to ask people to leave, risking an angry refusal.
