Our mission We can make a world without poverty Beanchain is worker directed . The people doing the work have a real say in how the business runs, and that is not a slogan on a wall. It is why the workspace is free, and why we would rather sell you a coffee than rent you a chair. The shop is also the first stage of a longer plan. We want a business owned by the people inside it to be an ordinary thing to find in America, because how work is owned is a large part of what keeps producing poverty here. We are building tools to move that mission forward, and we give them away. Handbook gets what an owner knows out of their head and into something a team can run, which is what makes handing a business over possible at all. The Solution Seeking System is what we use in place of a disciplinary process. PIF Board, where somebody pays for a meal in advance and whoever needs it collects it with nothing to prove, is the one most people here have met. More are being built, and each is a piece of the work rather than the whole of it. Software Solution Seeking System A framework for democratic problem solving, leadership and communication. Software Handbook Operations software for small businesses. Software PIF Board Buy a meal for someone who needs one, from a local business.

Yes. The shared workspace is free and open during opening hours, with no day rate, no membership and nothing to book. Buy a coffee and the desk is yours for the day. We built the room for people who need somewhere to get a full day done. Do I have to pay to use the workspace? No. There is no charge for the workspace, no day rate and nothing to join. We are a coffee shop, and buying something is how the room stays free, so if you are settling in for the day, get a coffee. Is the WiFi free, and are there power outlets? The WiFi is free and there is power at nearly every seat. Ask at the counter for the network password. Bringing a laptop and a charger and staying a while is the intended use, not an inconvenience. Can I rent a room for a meeting? Yes. The conference room is bookable by the hour through Peerspace, which handles the calendar and the payment. It suits interviews, client meetings, small workshops and recording. Book the conference room Do you have vegan and gluten free options? Yes, both, and not just as an afterthought. Any sandwich can be made as a bowl to keep it gluten free, or on Dave’s bread to keep it vegan. The Rustic and The Snacker are vegan as they come, Day Oats are vegan and gluten free, and the brownie is certified gluten free and arrives sealed rather than out of our kitchen. Do you serve breakfast all day? Yes, and not just breakfast: the whole menu is available all day, 8am to 5pm. The Breakfast Sandwich, the breakfast burritos, Breakfast In Bed and both kinds of oats do not stop at eleven, and neither do the lunch sandwiches if that is what you want at opening.
