How to choose a coworking, which is convenient to operate

1. Hour access every day of the week

Suppose your company works with clients in different time zones. Occasionally have something to sit up late, then start work early in the morning. How many people in such circumstances, the benefits of coworking, which works, for example, from 9 am to 9 pm? That's right, just about zero.

Schedule coworking should be comfortable in the first place its residents, not owners. IN "table"For example, no one will look at you askance if you come to work at night or even looking at the output.

2. Convenient location

Coworking is to save your time, and do not take away. If you have found the perfect place to which you want to travel with three transfers, then walk a little ride on the shuttle bus - it is not perfect. Prepare yourself most of the time working from home and meeting with clients to conduct in a cafe in the city center.

If you are lucky enough to find a coworking space in the center or close to home, check the vehicle access. Ideally, if there is, and parking, and public transportation - so you will not be late, even if the wild jams.

3. Equipped workplace

Coworking raison d'être is to save residents from the concerns of the security of their own comfort. For you are all invented and made, so you can focus on the job.

The main thing here - the convenience and functionality: thoughtful layout and design of the room, good lighting, tables with built-in connectors to charge, so as not to have to look for free outlet. Ideally, this space, where nothing distracts from the work tasks and have separate sitting areas, in order to relieve the brain and distract.

Residents "Tables" work for intelligent tables Tabula Sense with integrated electronics. And yes, here it is possible to draw on the windows and bring dogs.

4. high speed internet

Without it, the normal operation can be forgotten. When the connection is cut off permanently, it is distracting and just annoying. Focus is impossible, and trifling task takes a lot of time.

Choosing coworking inquire how things stand with the Internet. A better check yourself. Optimally, if running Seamless Wi-Fi, so you can move freely in the workspace, and not to wait until the laptop is connected to the network.

5. Kitchen and many cafes around

To eat, without being distracted from work for a long time, it is necessary not so much: a separate room and a minimum set of home appliances. Well, when tea, coffee and cookies in the kitchen appear by themselves, and the food can be carried out and reheated in the microwave.

The shared kitchen with all its advantages can not be assigned to the client meeting or interview. Therefore, next to the coworking should be decent coffee shops, where you can talk business or dine when not in the mood to eat from the container. And it is better, when several such establishments: repetitive lunches evoke nostalgia and thoughts about changing jobs.

In the "Table" has its own kitchen and coffee shop from Meat Puppets restaurant owners.

6. Additional services for business

Coworking and so decides for you almost all household and technical issues. The next level - when you help with the involvement of relevant experts. For example, in the "Table" has its own lawyers, accountants, courier service. And if the company suddenly urgently need a consultation or service, you can post your coworking administrators to not have to spend time searching for a trusted specialist. This is particularly useful for start-ups that are not yet ready to keep the state of their accountants and lawyers.

7. good neighbors

Coworking - is not just a room to work. It is a community of like-minded, who know why they work. Among the residents of coworking is no hierarchy as in a standard office: This is usually a small team who work on projects in various fields. Here, no one is in no hurry to run home at 18:00 because the conversations in the smoking room and after work gatherings knotted friendship and business relations, new ideas and create cool designs.

Where people come to people like you make it work, you need to look for coworking. Before you sign a contract, go to the office several times, wait in the smoking room and mingle with those who will be your neighbors.

8. Interesting events within the coworking

Even if you put in one place a lot of interesting people, the community will not occur by itself. His life must be maintained. Well, if the owners of coworking understand it. Lectures, workshops, parties every Friday - this brings the inhabitants of coworking and turns it into a place where you want to come not only for the job.

In the office, we employ only two people, and even a room with an area of ​​5 meters will be more expensive and less convenient option for us. In many coworking spaces have the entire infrastructure - printers, scanners, meeting rooms. And most importantly - convenient location.

We call the subway "-1 st floor," because it just below us. Our summer garden - bombicheskoe is a place where you can smoke and enjoy nature, the first time I saw something in the center of Moscow. Plus often visit interesting events that take place here for free coworking residents.

When it came to choosing an office, we looked at a bunch of options: on the outskirts, in the center, some buildings, coworking. "Table", we have chosen because it proved to be optimal both visually and functionally. And the price is also very pleasant.

For our company, it is primarily important that the office is close to the metro. If we go to some meetings, we do not spend a lot of time on the road. Secondly, here you can invite a customer, and you definitely will not be ashamed. Peregovorki, park, event space - there is everything you need for work and leisure.

For me personally, a huge plus - a team of "Tables". This kind, sympathetic people who are in touch 24/7. I like the guys every day thinking about how to upgrade the coworking and do a job here and life in general better. I know not many such places, but it's really important.
