A Cafe Where Everything Is Free Except Time – Ziferblat Cafe
This is one new business concept, created by the Russians… Imagine that you can go to a cafe with friends and have everything there for a fixed price. You can get anything from the menu at no expense, you can surf the web, have a snack, and have as many cups of coffee as you wish. And not only nobody will ask you to leave, but you are welcome to stay as much as possible there. Why? Because you pay for your time in the cafe – several pence per minute. Every customer gets a clock when he/she enters the store and can stay there for as long as desired. This is the business model of Ziferblat Cafe, the first branch of the chain that opened on the 29th of January this year. If you are in London, you can visit it at 388 Old Street. It’s been working for a few weeks and the business idea is turning into a success. They still don’t have a website, but their Facebook page (HERE) has already around 8 000 fans. Hundreds of bloggers like me are posting about the innovative venture, which is completely free advertising bringing more and more interest in the idea. This is the first cafe of this type, but as things are going with it, we will see many new branches opening here and there very soon.
The First Ziferblat Cafe
Ziferblat Café is a unique concept café that is taking off around the world. This café is different from the traditional café experience in that customers pay for their time there, not for what they eat and drink. The Ziferblat Café is a warm, inviting place where people can come together and enjoy a unique atmosphere, friendly people, and delicious food and drinks.
The concept behind the Ziferblat Café is simple. Rather than paying for food and drinks, patrons pay for the time they spend in the café. A clock is displayed on the wall and customers press a button each time they arrive and leave. The cost per hour is very low (usually between 6 to 8 Euros) and the menu of food and drinks is quite affordable too.
When customers enter Ziferblat, they become a part of a community. The café provides a meaningful social and creative space where people can meet, collaborate, and share ideas. It is a place to relax and enjoy being surrounded by like-minded people.
The atmosphere inside the café is comfortable and inviting. The furniture is comfortable and cozy, and a variety of board games and instruments are available for use. There are quiet areas for reading and working, and a range of self-initiated activities for visitors to participate in. Of course, the café has wifi and plenty of sockets for charging devices.
The food and drinks available at Ziferblat are made with care from organic ingredients and sourced locally wherever possible. There is also a selection of vegan and vegetarian food and drink options for those with special dietary requirements.
All in all, the Ziferblat Café is a unique concept café that is becoming increasingly popular around the world. This is a great place to escape from the hustle and bustle of life and connect with the people, experiences, and friendships that are part of Ziferblat’s community.
