Order something every couple of hours, keep calls short or take them outside, and give up your table at lunch if it’s busy.

When a café isn’t enough

Cafés are great for a few hours. For a full day of calls and focused work, you’ll want a proper desk, a booth and a backup line.Cafés are great for a few hours. For a full day of calls and focused work, you’ll want a proper desk, a booth and a backup line.
