Leonie van Spronsen<\/a>, lives and works in Paris and visited the AntiCaf\u00e9. At this place you pay for the time you spend there!<\/p>\n

In big cities most people have small homes and big dreams. To make these dreams come true you need to make long hours of studying\/working\/meeting and with those small living situations and high rents, finding a place to work can be challenging.
\nThis fact has made it completely acceptable to work in your local Starbucks\/McDonald\u2019s\/Coffee shop but obviously this is not ideal, the manager does not appreciate you being there all day, the F&B is expensive and the furniture was not set up for comfort on the long haul.<\/p>\n

This is where the AntiCaf\u00e9 comes in, a concept where you are at a hospitality outlet and pay for time instead of per item. For a couple of euro\u2019s you receive;
\n\u2022 coffee and tea
\n\u2022 snacks and fruits
\n\u2022 fast Wi-Fi
\n\u2022 access to a projector, printer, scanner and board games
\n\u2022 in addition, you are welcome to bring in your own food\/soft drinks
\nYou come in, receive a keycard that you need to hold onto until you leave, then when you are ready to leave you \u2018check-out\u2019 and pay per hour (\u20ac4 for the first hour, \u20ac3 per hour for the following hours and a maximum of \u20ac16 per day), that\u2019s how easy it is.
\nWeekend days all Parisian locations fill up completely, you really have to be early to get a good spot!<\/p>\n

The idea is to create a shared space where people can work, inspire each other or just have an extension of their living rooms. Maybe the mission statement is somewhat idealistic, dare I say hippie, but the practicality of the concept is very convenient. You are working between people from all over the world, hearing a plethora of languages, have access to unlimited drinks & snacks and you are comfortable in a beautiful, light space. I hope the AntiCaf\u00e9 will take the world by storm!<\/p>\n

Editor’s Note: In the Netherlands we have a meeting concept, Seat2meet<\/a>. You can work here and get free Wi-Fi, coffee, tea and lunch. Their business model is renting meeting rooms: premium spots for flexible workers who want a little more quiet, and meeting rooms for groups. The only conditions if you want to work here; you need to show your \u2018social capital\u2019 meaning, everyone present is aware of your expertise and if possible you help each other. Meanwhile Seats2meet has quite a few branches. Perhaps an idea for Paris?<\/p>\n

And while we’re at it: look at DrawAttention<\/a>. You can buy whiteboard stickers here to stick on your laptop cover, on which you can advertise your expertise or say you don\u2019t want to be disturbed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
