Hi, everyone! My name is Nia and I am writing a business plan for a coworking place in Istanbul. In my discussions with potential partners, we stumbled over the question of how to deal with guests of the members. We plan on having a lounge area that will serve coffee and snacks. We cannot agree on whether 1) if a member invites a friend over for a chat but has not booked a conference room, we should charge the guest at the daily rate (or an hourly rate, or a guest rate, etc...) OR 2) guests should be allowed in for free as long as they are invited by a member, only sit in the lounge and do not use the internet.
Because the lounge is meant for the members, we do not want to get the reputation of a cafe with internet that is open to everyone, but on the other hand, we do not want to restrict members from inviting people for informal meetings. What is the policy of your respective coworking places? What do you think makes most sense in the context of a coworking place? Thanks a lot!
