One day a week
get your remote team out of the house
Months at home wear people down, and reimbursing café receipts one by one wears finance down. You set a monthly pass allowance per person. People pick a day, work at a partner space in Taipei, scan to redeem, and a drink is included. One invoice at month end.
- Daylight, power, and quiet enough to think
- One invoice, settled monthly
- No long-term lease
Three things remote work keeps getting stuck on
Alone at home, week after week
You open the laptop in the morning and close it at night, and in between you have not said three sentences to anyone. The flat is the size it is. The dining table is the desk, and after hours the desk is still there. Everyone is friendly in the channel, and you cannot remember the last real conversation you had.
One day a week you leave the house for somewhere set up for work. Daylight, power at the seat, other people around without the noise. On the way home the day feels different from yesterday.
One coffee, three approval steps
A 180 dollar latte, and you hesitate over whether to keep the receipt. Keep it and you are filling in a claim at month end, picking an expense category, waiting for a signature. Skip it and you absorb the cost. Finance has it no easier, checking each slip and still unable to say what the money bought.
Scan, redeem, collect the drink. Thirty seconds. Nobody keeps receipts, finance gets one invoice at month end, and every visit is traceable.
In the office, still on video calls
Three days a week in the office. Fifty minutes of commuting, then headphones on for a day of video calls. The person next to you is on a different project. Where you sat that day made no difference at all.
No mandated location, just a real choice. Meet your own team somewhere convenient for everyone, and stay home on the days that suit. Going in becomes something you do for a reason.
If any of that sounds familiar, here is how the programme works
How teams use it
Set your own allowance
Your admin sets how many passes each person gets per month, for example one a week. Spend stays predictable.
Check in within seconds
On arrival, the employee scans the code on the counter to redeem a pass and picks up their drink.
Quarterly data you can act on
Usage rates, focus ratings, and how often teams meet up in person, so hybrid policy rests on evidence.
The metro lines the first cohort sits on
The first cohort sits along four Taipei metro lines, so people can reach one from home or from the office without much planning. The named list follows once each space agrees to be listed.

Bannan LineWalking distance from the metro. Open hot desks with meeting rooms and phone booths, so a group can pull a discussion off the floor.

Songshan-Xindian LineAn old-house conversion with a dedicated focus zone. Co-working days run through the week.

Tamsui-Xinyi LineMonitor rental and a self-serve drink bar. Built for people who stay all day.

Zhonghe-Xinlu LineNo time limit and power throughout, with quieter and livelier corners to pick from.
What this means for you
Same programme, three vantage points, three different problems it solves.
If you are
leading a remote team
The quarterly offsite feels great, and the next morning everyone scatters again.
One day a week together for two months, out of the offsite venue budget you already hold.
If you are
responsible for people and benefits
The benefits budget goes out and you can see the spend, never whether anyone is doing better.
A benefit people mention to their friends, plus data on who went and how they rated their focus. Funded from the welfare budget you already have.
If you are
answerable for the budget
One receipt for 180, one for 240, scattered across expense lines, and no way to say what they bought.
One invoice a month, every visit on the record. The money is already being reimbursed.
