The Culture of
Coworking
1
Take care of yourself.
Ask questions. Ask ambassadors for help. Ask people to keep their voices down if needed. Or wear headphones!
2
Take care of each other.
Introduce yourself to an unfamiliar face, and make new friends. Share your coworking culture tips. Keep your voice down when on calls, or use a phone booth, or reserve a meeting room.
3
Take care of this place.
This is your shared home away from home. Please follow posted tips. Mark your food. Keep the kitchen areas tidy.

FAQs
If I get a part time membership, can I spread out the hours, using just a few each time I come?
Yes, you can use as many or as few as you need each time you come. Twenty hours a month (with a Café 20 membership) for example could be used in 2-hour hour chunks for ten visits throughout the month. Your hours are tracked automatically when you connect to our Wi-Fi. Just log in at OfficeXpats.com to see how many hour remain until your renewal.
Can I use OfficeXpats on weekends or whenever it’s not open to the public?
Yes! Members get a code that opens the back door when they sign an After Hours agreement. Never let in or bring in anyone after hours unless they also have one on file
Can I be on the phone or on Zoom calls at my desk?
Many people take phone or video calls at their desk and keep their voice modulated. If someone gets loud, It’s OK to signal that they should lower their voice. Others prefer to grab a meeting room or roam around to find a quiet “away” spot while talking on the phone. We also have two phone booth rooms downstairs and one upstairs. You also have generous credit for reserving conference rooms.
What should I know about drinks, snacks, or bringing my own lunch?
Coffee and tea is free, for you and your guests. Our front desk “ambassadors” keep a fresh pot of coffee going until early afternoon. If you get in early and want to make a pot, go right ahead. Our DIY espresso machine is also available anytime for an energy boost. Filtered hot water for tea is “on tap” at the sink. Find creamers in the fridge.
We also have sodas and snacks for a dollar each, on the honor system. You are welcome to keep your lunch in the shared refrigerator upstairs; just be sure to put your name on it!
