A corporate account
for places to work
It works like a corporate taxi account. You set a monthly allowance per person. People pick a day at a partner space in Taipei, scan to redeem, and a drink is included. One invoice settles it at month end.
- Nobody pays out of pocket
- One invoice, settled monthly
- Every visit on record
- 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.
People choose where to go. 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
From allowance to month-end statement
Step one
Set the allowance
In the company dashboard, choose who can use it and how many visits each person gets per month, for example one a week. Usage is capped, so the budget is known in advance.
Step two
Scan in at the space
At a partner space, people scan the QR code on the counter stand to redeem and pick up a work drink. Nothing to pay on site, no receipt to keep.
Step three
One invoice with line items
The invoice comes with every visit itemised by person, date, and space, plus usage and focus feedback to inform hybrid policy.
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.

What this means for you
Same programme, four vantage points, each with its own problem
If you are
in finance or office administration
One receipt for 180, one for 240, scattered across expense lines, and at audit time no way to say what they bought
One invoice a month, every visit tied to a person, a date, and a space. When audit asks, export the line items from the dashboard
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
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
writing the sustainability report
Employee commuting sits in Scope 3, and the number usually comes from one survey a year
Each redemption records the space location, so the closing report includes commute time and distance for working nearby, as a reference when you compile commuting data
