What Can KTEs Do in a Cafe Shop?

You must know them. They are called cafes. you see them almost everywhere, some hidden in corners, some on the high street, but they are often all over the place. Often, they look so ordinary, and basic. But the truth is Cafe shops are quite a very strategic place to meet people, discuss with business angels, as one pursues endlesss possibilities in the marketplace.



Demographically, Cafe shops are very popular to locals, students and professionals of all shades and colours. In the City you find the business exceutives reading financial broadsheets, whilst relaxing over a cup of coffee . You know what names they bear - Starbucks, Cafe Nero, and many others that are of the Italiano, Portuguese origin.



But i wonder what you might think of these rather quiet hide outs, where researchers, writers and programmer go to spend their evening. These cafe shops are the new pubs because they literally proliferate our landscape. But there is more to them than meets the eyes.



Let us consider a few of the factors that make them attractive to any KTE



1. Simplicity of Design - These cafes are very aesthetic, and pleasant to look at. Tkey don't carry with them the opulence that reeks, and spoils the quality of any creative work or enterprise.



2. Private public space - It is amazing how many people may gather in a coffess shop, and yet maintain their sense of privacy in apuvblic environment



3. Optimized lighting - The lighting in most cafes are quite of the soft touch variety, and quite effective in using them in the cafe



4. Free Writing/Coffee Table = Nothing is impossible. Often one can take advantage of the opportunities that gets in using the coffee table to do some creative work such as writing, drawing, and sketching, without being a nuisance to the other users.



5. Time - Being in a cafe doing some creative work makes on feel as though has stolen time away, and used to enrich the cafe envioronment, in quietude, pleasantness of feeling, a deep sense of peacefulness and stealng to stoke the creative fires in the individual.



6. Flexibility - You are not tied to suing any cafe, though this might be the best practice to ensure flow in creative continuity, hanging locations when one feels like it, and being in control of how one spends their time as long as it remains within the opening and closing hours of the cafe of choice.



7. Buying time with Coffee - How many places can you go without being shown the door for sitting so long without buying anything for self and others. The environment is truly friendly.



Every KTE must aspire to bring the world into their space, no matter how simple or aesthetic.
