Hi All! I have been searching for this in the past threads but haven't found this exactly. I was wondering if anyone has a Coworking space and coffee shop combination, where the coffee shop is an actual cafe run by a separate entity? The cafe would be in the front showroom area of the old auto dealership building I have in mind, with coworking in the warehouse/office part in the back; there would be some separation of the spaces, but I'd like to at least have a clear view into some the coworking space from the cafe. I have someone who might be interested, and it would certainly pull in potential coworkers. With the exception of Starbucks, most cafes in Pasadena are discontinuing their wifi, so I don't think anyone would be especially outraged if that wasn't offered in the cafe part. What may irritate coworkers is paying for coffee! Anyone have a business model for this they could share? Or is this a bad combo, and why?
You all might get a kick out of this segement a few weeks ago on our local radio station about Coffee Shop Squatters: http://www.scpr.org/programs/airtalk/2013/09/10/33648/coffeehouses-fight-back-against-wi-fi-squatters/ I was driving and so I couldn't call in and plug coworking as the solution!
