Im Café eine Latte trinken und mit dem Mac an einem Projekt arbeiten - Generation IMM - Irgendwas mit Medien.
There's a small coffee shop and bakery near me called Made Fresh Daily. They've got great coffee, pastries, and free wifi – everything that makes a good coffee shop. But I noticed that they seem very stressed at busy times. They frequenty have two people moving back and forth from the kitchen to the register, and trying to attend to people in the store. I overheard one of the women running the register say to an inquisitive patron that they were looking for more help to run the register.
And then I started wondering why they even needed a register at all.
What if every patron was able to place their order online, from within the store, by connecting to the access point? For one thing, it would instantly reduce the rate of customer dissatisfaction (as a result of recieveing the wrong order) to zero. Human errors like this seem to be a common problem during particularly busy hours. But what if every patron was forced to place their order through a web browser? What if it was a wifi only café? What if you had no register, and instead reclaimed that space and made it available for extra seating?
If you used the wifi connection as a gateway to placing an order you could sovle another problem that anyone offering free wifi has to deal with – leaches. Lots of people will often take up a seat and use the Internet connection without buying anything. But in this case you could simple force people to place an order before you grant them Internet access. Problem solved.
Why does nothing like this seem to exist here in New York? This would be the perfect place for such a thing considering just how expensive space is. It would also allow you to sell a cheaper cup of coffee than the person next to you, since that person next to you is still paying staff to run the register. And even during the morning rush, you'd never have a line.
Someone should invent this.
This new cafe by mother-daughter team Elena and Anastasia de Ruyter opened today. It's located on Noordplein 1 in the north part of Rotterdam with a beautiful view of the Rotte, the old Heineken brewery and Noordplein.
We had lunch there, consisting of small, fresh-baked rolls and condiments that you can assemble yourself. Eva had the nettle-cheese with tomato-chili jam and I had smoked mackerel rillettes with pickles. Very yummy. For dessert we ordered a scone with clotted cream and homemade jam and a piece of heavenly chocolate-truffle cake.
Lof der Zoetheid is open on friday, saturday and sunday from 10:00 - 17:30. http://lofderzoetheid.com/
Está al ladito de casa y ponen un café tremendo. Terracita en la que se puede fumar y con conexión a internet. Tengo que mirar a ver si abren por la mañana y probar qué tal son los desayunos. Eso de la foto es un macchiato; el cortado de toda la vida, pero con más espuma y glamour. Me han encantado sus tarjetas, que son en realidad marca páginas.
