What do you like best about Café?

My favorite part of Café is the schedule view: it's the best way to know which coworker will be at the office! And it's also a great way to know which events will be organized.

I also like the floor plan to ensure I go to the right area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Café?

Since our needs changed, we had to cancel the premium plan and could not access analytics with the free plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Café solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are mainly two.

The first one is space management: ensure no more people are at the office than available desks.

The second is people connection: encourage employees' meeting in person by knowing who else is going to be at the office.

Café helps employees figure out the value proposition of going to the office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Café?

The Schedule view and the Slack integration - It is now very easy to see where my teamates are working from and schedule the same days in the office as them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Café?

It is not possible, or at least I havent found how, to add offices in the schedule view to see everyone coming to this specific office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Café solving and how is that benefiting you?

Syncing office days with colleagues - With the new hybrid way of working, going back to the office a couple of times a week is nice only if you can interract with colleagues there. Café provide a nice way to sync with your teamates and go to the office the same day as them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Café?

Our team being hybrid, scattered around the world and our HQ being over several floors, we love the floor plan, schedule view and of course the Slack integration. We can finally meet and manage our office availibility easily.

Again, since most our teams don't see each other often, we love everything that helps us connect, be it physically thanks to the events creating in Café, but also the fact that we can learn about each other and create smaller groups with common interests. That really makes a difference today in how we interact with one other.

We can see the roots of a sense of community in the making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Café?

Would love to have the possibility to book rooms, phone booths or even benches to make sure teams can work together, whenever they plan it.

Some team leaders would like to be able to set up rules via café for their teammates about where and when they get together at the office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Café solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Create a sense of community for our teammates: since they are all over the world, hybrid, and don't get to meet IRL so easily, it's always been a challenge.

2. The physical office usage needed to be optimized : no need to have 500 desks when you never have more than 150 peoples there at the same time.

3. The office was only physical (until Café). There were the people going often to the HQ offices and all the rest, being second-class employess, whatever efforts they would put. Now anyone can connect with anyone, organize meetings in other cities, create events... Our office is more conceptual now, and it's all happening around café.

4. Help managers organize all-hands days when all of their teammates get together in the same location. It was such a hassle, that most of them just ended up giving up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Café?

Just loved how bad I could customize my user profile : this is a huge bonus for this kind of workplace software. Possibility to add custom hobbies, activities, hashtags… Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Café?

As a Google user, I would have liked to be able to integrate Google Chat. A tiny detail that can still make a difference when you have strong habits as I have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Café solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main issue Café is solving is making sure that hybrid employees really meet and have a social worklife. Many companies implement hybrid working and let their employees "in the wild", issueing some disconnection between teams. And Café is there to allow this mandatory hybrid working, while still allowing people to meet and to create bonds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
