Happy Fun Friday, Happy Mouth! It’s the end of the work week so let’s talk about where people are working. With remote work becoming more common, people are working in all different places. One such place is NYC restaurant Kindred, which has converted it’s outdoor dining area into a workspace.

On this episode of the Happy Mouth podcast, restaurateur Philip Camino and chef Nyesha Arrington discuss Kindred and what their workspace entails. They also delve into the benefits of this space both for the customer and the restaurant.

Listen to Philip and Nyesha discuss Kindred’s new CoWorking space :

  • After the pandemic hit them hard, a wine bar called Kindred has converted some of its outdoor space into a remote workplace where workers can rent a table for the day.
  • Guests can rent a table from 10am-4pm for just $25.
  • The space offers free drip coffee, Wi-Fi, full bathroom access all day, as well as options to order lunch and beverages or stay through Happy Hour.
  • Every table comes with a charging station.
  • This space now accounts for about 10% of their sales.
  • By the end of May, Kindred saw around 230 unique guests and by the end of June, their numbers were around 300 unique guests.
  • A Tik Tok feature has also drawn traffic and attention to this CoWorking space.
