Workplace dining has changed forever – smaller, more nimble, higher quality solutions, closer to the consumer
Employers need to ‘magnetize’ the physical work experience to make places where people choose to be
Building owners and landlords need to activate their buildings to attract and retain tenants, AND the tenants workforce
Foodservice operators seeking replacement and new revenue streams
A B C D THE OPPORTUNITY
Create a brand with a purpose: to activate space, be a magnet, and generate new revenue sources
Assemble a team of vested partners to develop the concept, contribute to the elements, and launch to market
Provide an easy to consume ‘plug & play’ operating model for operating partners

THE EVOLVING WORKPLACE: A HYBRID
FUTURE
While many CEOs anticipate a return to traditional office work, 79% according to the KPMG U.S. CEO Outlook Pulse Survey 2024, employees are leaning towards a hybrid model. 46% envision hybrid roles.
To attract and retain top talent, workplaces must evolve. By creating magnetic office spaces that:
· Offer unique amenities
· Foster collaboration
· Prioritize employee well-being
Organizations can incentivize employees to return to the office and thrive in a hybrid work environment.
THE COFFEE SHOP EFFECT: A BREW FOR PRODUCTIVITY AND CULTURE
In recent years, offices have begun to emulate the cozy, creative atmosphere of coffee shops. This trend isn’t just about caffeine; it’s about creating a space that fosters innovation, collaboration, and employee satisfaction.
Why In-Office Coffee Shops Matter:
· Boost Morale and Productivity
A well-designed coffee shop can significantly improve employee morale and job satisfaction, leading to increased productivity and creativity. [Source: Harvard Business Review]
· Foster Collaboration and Innovation
Coffee shops are natural gathering places, encouraging spontaneous interactions and idea sharing. [Source: Gensler]
· Strengthen Company Culture
A shared space where employees can relax and socialize can build stronger teams and a stronger company culture.
By creating inviting and functional in-office spaces, companies can tap into the “coffee shop effect” and elevate their workplace culture.
