Everyone is always looking for a place to eat. Well what if you started a business that catered to this need without the catering?
This idea would work really well in small cities like Austin or Portland but it could work in NYC or LA too. Really it could work worldwide.
Create a space that looks like a cooler version of a cafeteria with spaces off to the sides where small groups can gather. Places for single folks too.
This is a space where you go to get away from work for a while if you are someone who prefers to make your own food but don’t want to eat at your desk. Or maybe you work at home and just want a change of scenery.
Food Trucks would line up around the block of a place like this.
As work gets more mobile a space like this would serve many different kinds of people. You could still have charging stations for all of your screens but I don’t think of this as a common workspace or a coffeeshop without coffee. It is a place to congregate. A place to eat.
Maybe there would be a nap/hammock room where you could take a quick nap and recharge before heading back out into the world.
I think you could sell memberships like a gym. A monthly access fee would cover the cost of upkeep and pay for a few people to keep the place clean but it should feel like a community. People will want to take care of the space.
Maybe just call it: A Place To Eat.
