Co-working start-ups Spacious and Random Works are taking advantage of restaurants that do not open during the day by offering their spaces to New York and Toronto freelancers, respectively. The companies have been using a service called “Restaurant for Freelance” since last year, when it was introduced in San Francisco. Random Works, which is piloting in one location, charges a minimum of $100 per month, making both start-ups cheaper than rivals such as WeWork. Spacious recently closed a venture capital fundraising round with Lerer Hippeau Ventures, BoxGroup, and SV Angel.
