Suzanne Murdock shares some notes from her recent panel on how food and beverage services (F&B) are being integrated into coworking spaces across Europe. The conversation touched on integration challenges, the different in interactions, staffing considerations, focus balancing, diversifications opportunities and some challanges.

The panel included Carlos Gonçalves of Avila Workspaces Lisbon, Portugal; Eric Spongberg of Helio, Stockholm, Sweden & Tony Aleksandrov of Work Better, Sofia, Bulgaria.

In the first of a 2-part series, Marc Navarro shares notes from a conversation with Carlos Gonçalves from Avila Spaces about how they stated, what they learned, and how they landed up acquiring approx. 600 virtual office clients.

Spoiler: it was combining service, great addresses, being based in office buildings and offering a great app experience.
