Nowadays, office workers are increasingly fond of drinking coffee. Having a coffee machine in the office has almost become a standard amenity. They drink coffee to maintain sufficient energy because coffee not only reduces swelling but also revitalizes their spirit. For them, coffee is a "lifesaver." They don't have time to use their phones during the day, so they stay up late at night to enjoy themselves. When sleep isn't adequate, their energy the next day will definitely be weak, but drinking a cup of coffee can solve this problem well.

Recently, a post-90s girl in Beijing's Chaoyang District even opened a coffee shop directly in her company. The topic "What's it like to open a coffee shop in your company?" even trended on Weibo. Netizens commented: "Earning money while working feels very satisfying"; "This is another company that belongs to someone else."

According to reports, the girl initially just saw that there were leftover afternoon tea ingredients, so she tried to use them to DIY coffee. Unexpectedly, it received unanimous praise from colleagues and the response was quite good. The next day, she simply applied to her boss and opened a coffee shop in the company. Since the raw materials are also very cheap, it not only saves money but also allows other colleagues to DIY together. Now they have successfully created many "viral coffees."

As a lifesaver for office workers, coffee is truly important! However, daily delivery is also really expensive. A cup of the same drink can easily cost thirty or forty yuan. For the same price, you can buy more raw materials, and coffee made with your own hands will taste better.

The Benefits of Office Coffee Shops

Having a coffee shop in the company allows for convenient short breaks and physical relaxation. You can savor a cup of coffee there and then work properly. Many white-collar workers and office workers always choose to buy from nearby places for convenience.

Many netizens expressed that this is simply the dream work scenario; work motivation would definitely be higher; this is the work life I envy. Going to work and DIYing coffee can also strengthen relationships. I don't have the opportunity for such an experience, I can only envy it.

But then again, if you open a coffee shop in the company, do you still have time to work?

The Trend of Coffee Shops in Office Buildings

In recent years, it's not difficult to find that more and more people who want to open coffee shops choose to locate their stores in office buildings. For example, Cotti Coffee, which opened its first store recently, chose to locate it in an office building. Starbucks also has many stores in office buildings with curtain wall glass designs.

Office buildings are places where coffee-consuming groups are most concentrated. There are many people with coffee-drinking habits, and it's also convenient to provide consumption venues for business professionals inside the building. Therefore, many people who want to open coffee shops have set their sights on office buildings.

Such coffee shops have a great advantage. Office buildings are places where working people gather. Many office workers have the habit of drinking coffee during work hours, thus they have a fixed customer base, ensuring traffic from Monday to Friday workdays. On weekends, they can attract some leisure crowd through online引流.

Coffee as a Social Choice

"Having a cup of coffee" is gradually becoming a popular social choice, and the group that relies on coffee to "survive" every day is also growing. Coffee shops in companies like this target a smaller group, almost only company colleagues. As a company's exclusive small coffee shop for short breaks and relaxation, it's sufficient. But if you want to make a profit and get serious about it, there's still much more to do.
