Picture this:
You go into the office three times a week and tomorrow is one of your work-from-home days at work. You’re dreading spending the entire day in your apartment because your roommate also works from home and you live on top of each other in your 500-square-foot shoebox.
So you download fluxo, the app for finding and booking space for work in New York City. You open it up and start browsing places to work from based on the environment you want for the day.
Tons of fluxo spots pop up on the map in your neighborhood, all with the quiet atmospheres you requested. Now, do you want the bar around the corner? The restaurant down the street? The brewery a few blocks away?
You pick the brewery, because tied into their Day Pass rate is half-off any item on their lunch menu, and that’s in addition to all the other amenities that come with the Day Pass (unlimited coffee, fast wifi, filtered water, and more).
So you book a Table for Work - Day Pass at the brewery and get confirmation right away. The next morning you show up, show your pass to whoever’s working, and get to work right away, with coffee and water brought directly to your table (and refilled throughout the morning).
And you work. That’s it. But you work in an environment that you picked, near your apartment, with everything you needed for a productive day. You finish all the tasks you had to get done, and then some.
The experience is so seamless and enjoyable that you bring your two favorite coworkers the following week. The three of you book a Space for Work (instead of a Table for Work) so there’s enough room for everyone to be comfortable.
And your company pays for it. Why? Because they care about your mental health and your working environment on the days you’re not in the office.
Utopia? Maybe. But it’s also the future. fluxo is coming…
