Third Place

Third Place is a marketplace for people to find and book inspiring hospitality spaces to work remotely as a balance between working from home (the ‘first place’) and the office (the ‘second place’). We list ‘third places’ - cafes, restaurants, hotels, bars/pubs and allow millions of people to reconnect with colleagues, clients and community!

We are passionate about supporting local communities and helping the hospitality industry to thrive - our love for cafes, restaurants and food culture define our purpose. Our mission is to get the millions of people working from home back into venues to work remotely, improving the employee experience and mental health & wellbeing of the workforce.

"Third Place” is defined as the social surroundings distinct from the two usual social environments of home ("first place") and the office ("second place").

We believe that the best workplaces adopt a balanced hybrid approach between working from home, working from the office and working from third places. Employees can work from a local cafe near home, or meet up with a colleague, client or team at mutually convenient location. The beauty is Third Places are everywhere!

The benefits for employees include increased job satisfaction, reduced wasted travel time and unnecessary costs (such as petrol, parking and public transport costs) and ultimately improved mental health and well-being of our workforce community. For employers and corporates, it boosts staff morale, collaboration, workplace culture, talent retention and productivity while reducing costs (such office rental and overheads). Less travel in and out of CBDs is also great for the environment, reducing the impacts of climate change for our community.

By providing employees with true flexibility and a mix of environments to work from productively, they can better manage their work-life balance while staying connected to their teams and clients - empowering them to create, collaborate and achieve greatness.
