URBAN OFFICE TRANSFORMS RESTAURANTS INTO RELAXED CO-WORKING & MEETING ROOM SPACES.

Working from home or from coffee shops may seem like a cheap alternative to a coworking space in Shanghai, but we all know that costs can quickly add up. Order a cup of coffee, a snack and before you know it, you have already spent a ¥ 100 plus, just to work for a couple of hours.It can be hard to find an affordable, quiet space with reliable WiFi and plenty of power outlets in prime areas around the city.

At Urban Office we capitalise on restaurants that are normally idle during the day, by turning them into co-working spaces and meeting rooms.

Comfortable desk, coffee, tea and snacks, reliable Wifi connection, printing services, quiet and serene working environment:
Add to that the ability to replicate the same across multiple convenient locations across the city.
We have it all!

By joining Urban Office, you’ll not only be able to work at prime locations around Shanghai, but you’ll also have access to exclusive events, perks, happy hours and community benefits throughout the city.

WHY URBAN OFFICE?

Most office or coworking spaces tend be very similar in terms of their architecture and décor. There is a mindset that office space requires a minimalistic desk, chair and a computer. The most you do to brighten up your work space is to add a few pictures or post-it’s. Ultimately leading to an uninspiring and boring workspace. At urban office we aim to break these shackles and think out of the box. You can choose a completely different workspace each day, with our multiple locations across the city. Since each restaurant that we turn into a coworking space, has its own character and theme, you get a different look, feel, décor and environment all together. With each restaurant set in a different neighborhood you never get bored.

While many of Shanghai’s coworking options cost over 4 to 5k a month, coworking in a restaurant provides an affordable alternative for remote workers and freelancers at just 35 RMB a day, which includes free Tea, coffee, Wifi and other basic amenities. In other words, restaurant coworking costs about the same as a cup of coffee and you get to use the space for the whole day. Urban Office also has various package options for access to all it’s location across the city at even more economical prices. Check our package options here “Link to package options”

Signing up for a co-working space or renting a small office space, ties you down to a particular location. High cost and a yearly contract discourages remote worker and freelancers to commit to single location.
