Did anybody ask them why? I'm also curious how it was communicated? If you drop free food in the kitchen and expecting anything to happen without some suggestion of why that food is there (meet a neighbor, share what you're working on, ask a question) and/or a bit of facilitation, you'll get a pretty predictable (non)result. Even though people join coworking spaces to be around other people, old habits die hard (and along with them, isolating behaviors like hiding from your coworkers). -Alex ------------------ *The #1 mistake in community building is doing it by yourself.* Join the list: http://coworkingweekly.com Listen to the podcast: http://dangerouslyawesome.com/podcast *Where will you be on April 21st <http://peopleatworksummit.com>?* On Wed, Apr 13, 2016 at 1:46 PM, Simon Anez <[email protected]> wrote: > We tried catering breakfast to our members once a week for awhile > > Our main challenge was that people picked up their food and headed back > into their space > > I guess you could make it a rule for people to eat their free breakfast at > the same spot and encourage conversations, but that would depend whether > you're thinking of selling it or giving it for free > > > > On Wednesday, April 13, 2016 at 12:36:06 AM UTC-4, Jamie-Lee D wrote: >> >> I want to create a breakfast bar for my office, not only are we providing >> breakfast foods - we're also promoting collaboration & discussion - >> which in-turn should boost the office culture. >> >> Does anyone already have a breakfast bar, and if so - what foods do you >> supply?
