there

Where do you want to be?

Rooms are somewhere you have to get to at nine in the morning, so the city is the first thing that decides whether any of this works for you.

We guessed this from your connection. It is a guess.

Rooms are open in

Nowhere else yet. Standups run on a call, so those work from wherever you are, and they show up whatever you pick here.

For teams

You already payfor the desks

An office, a coworking floor, a home setup with two monitors. Your people have somewhere to sit and the work still slides a week. What a focus room adds is two hours nobody can book over, seven other people who know what you said you would finish, and someone asking about it at eleven.

Three ways in

Pick the one that matches your problem.

They cost different amounts and solve different things. If you are not sure which, say so on the form and we will work it out on the call; the answer is usually not the one people arrive with.

  1. A closed run for one team

    Twelve mornings, your people only, our facilitator. In one of our rooms, on a call, or at your office if it has a door that shuts. The room is locked to your team, so what gets said in standup stays inside the company.

    For a team that has stopped shipping and knows it.

  2. Seats on the open rooms

    You buy a block of seats and your people choose their own room from the catalogue. Different mornings, different neighbourhoods, strangers in the room. We invoice you once and nobody expenses anything.

    For people who work from home and have run out of reasons to leave it.

  3. A standup, run by someone outside the team

    Fifteen minutes, three questions, a facilitator who does not report to anyone in the room. Blockers get said out loud because the person hearing them is not the person who set the deadline.

    For a distributed team whose standup has become a status meeting.


The terms

Not an offsite, and not a perk.

An offsite is one good day that everybody remembers and nothing follows. This is twelve ordinary mornings with the same eight people, which is boring and which is why it works. It also is not a wellbeing benefit: nobody is being given anything, they are being given a deadline with witnesses.

The format itself is explained here.

Invoiced, not expensed
One invoice for the block, with a VAT receipt, before the run starts. No one on your team enters a card and no one chases a reimbursement.
Eight people is the floor
Below eight a closed room is quiet in the wrong way and there is nobody to be accountable to. Under that, seats on the open catalogue work better and cost less.
Lisbon, the Cascais line, or a call
Rooms we have stood in, or your office if it has a room that shuts and a table people can sit around. Online runs the same way: camera on, nobody talking.
A named person can be swapped
Somebody leaves, somebody joins, and the seat moves with a week's notice. The seat belongs to the company; the commitment belongs to whoever is sitting in it.

No price on this page on purpose: three different shapes at three different sizes do not have one. Send this and somebody calls you inside two working days with a number and the dates that are actually free.
