Etiquette for Working in Cafés

When working in a café, especially those without a dedicated coworking space, it's important to be considerate of both the business and other customers.

Here are some etiquette tips:

Buy Something: It's basic etiquette to purchase something from the café if you plan to sit and work there. Regularly ordering drinks or food is a good practice.
Be Mindful of Space: During busy hours, be aware of the space you're occupying. If the café is crowded, it might be courteous to share your table or move to a smaller one.
Limit Phone Calls: If you need to make or take calls, step outside or keep your voice low to avoid disturbing others.
Use Headphones: For video calls or listening to music, always use headphones.
Be Friendly to Staff: A smile and polite interaction with the café staff go a long way in making your stay more enjoyable.
Clean Up After Yourself: Before leaving, make sure your table is as clean as when you arrived. This is respectful both to the staff and the next customer.
