I would be a happy customer if coffee shops sold their most popular product directly: time @ the coffee shop. I guess the businesses would be happier too.
One should figure out a more efficient way of handling short term leases than that coffee mug that proxies as something that is almost but not quite totally unlike a lease agreement.
Take my credit card and charge me on how much time I have been there, hand out blinking timers...whatever works.
- dang 11y agoI love working in cafes and have done it a ton. Every so often someone tries a radical variation on the basic model, but it almost always feels awkward and doesn't last long. One that I was surprised to see actually work, though, is the Workshop Cafe in SF's financial district. Their model is much what you described. It's a cross between a huge café and a big office, which ought to be terrible, but manages not to be. The coffee is good and the internet is very good. And it's often pretty busy, so I guess people are using it as intended.
