r/CoWorking

Wanted to share a few things our management system partner helped us with as we were looking to make big changes and we’re now a profitable coworking space.

1. We added mail service & virtual offices as a membership. Difficult to setup but great passive income
2. We remodeled and are now about %60 private offices and %40 coworking. Previously we were hoping for like %70 coworking and conference rooms
3. We added a lot of plants. We already have a lot of natural light but the best thing she said was “you are not a desk, you are a community” think of ways that make your space more of a community and less of just another place to sit and work.
4. Be more active on socials (including Reddit) both for support and highlighting the community… here I am lol

There was many more, but these were some of the big ones that truly made a big revenue difference for us. Maybe this is pretty straightforward, but we were struggling for years to break even.

Hopefully something I said can be valuable to you all.

Have you used a consultant to start your business? Was it worth it? Or, are you a consultant yourself? Drop a link!

I don't want to do a franchise, but I feel very uncertain about things like the space, build-out, furnishings, expected occupancy, etc.

Hi, just want to ask for everybody's opinion and advise about reading in public space. I myself like to read in silence so coffee shops for me is a bit distracting even with headset, and I'm always a bit conscious of the time if I'm overstaying. I just wondering if anyone or bookclubs are willing to pay for a subscriptions on a co-working space? I have never been in one though, so I'm asking for other's experience what was its like and what are the benefits of staying and reading in co-working space. Is it the ambiance(quiet or loud), the tables and chairs, aesthetic and modern design, the coffee? What are your expectation for a place that is perfect for bookclubs? How much are you willing to pay for a 1 year subscription? Thanks in advance.

Hey!
Any remote workers/WFH people here interested in occasionally coworking from cafés or shared spaces, playing sports, day trips, workcation and travel together during the week or weekends?
I’m creating a WhatsApp group for like-minded people. If you’re interested, please DM to join.

This subreddit has been a bit quite lately so let me ask you, if you could fix/change one thing about your business and operations what would it be?
