So we went looking for overlooked areas in hotels, restaurants, and coffee shops and revived them with our concept,” said co-founder Cynthia Helena Rif. She continued: “That’s how our movement was born, with WitWork spreading across the UAE and soon in the GCC. We leave no space left behind - using existing venues and their facilities to keep our business lean, green, and sustainable” WitWork targets F&B outlets that could benefit from more footfall. By collaborating with WitWork, these outlets enjoy marketing opportunities, a steady stream of untapped groups of customers all day (instead of just at peak hours), cut on running costs, and generate extra revenue. First-timers can give it a try with an AED 50 WitWalk day pass. Other options include WitWeek at AED 175, WitWorm at AED 400 per month, and WitWork at AED 1000 per quarter. In addition to free coffee, high-speed wifi, 24/7 parking - Witperks also include a discount on meeting room bookings, F&B discounts, insider discounts, and various community and networking events.
