Café Conversion: A Win-Win for Companies & Tenants

In every workplace, there is always space for potential collaboration! Does your office building have a currently vacant cafe? terra alma collaborates with office owners to reopen the café with a new operator not only to satisfy the appetites of your current tenants but also to attract new ones!

Why Work With terra alma To Find an Operator?

The terra alma team curated five food halls in Atlanta and has a database of local vendors, catering groups and food truck owners who know how to serve others with a smile. In addition to made-to-order meals for breakfast and lunch, many of our operators can prepare meals ready for tenants to take home and pop in the oven instead of cooking after a long day at the office. Another added benefit is introducing a restaurant to your building’s layout, which not only benefits the existing tenants but also draws in outside lunchtime crowds and takeout customers.

When you partner with one of terra alma’s local vendors, you transform your empty space into a café that serves as a magnetic hub for collaboration. Support informal meetings, networking opportunities and brainstorming sessions to boost a company’s teamwork. It’s a win-win situation that significantly enhances your building’s workplace environment and overall business performance.

Café Conversion Benefits Breakdown:

·       For building operators, an occupied café shared space increases property value, improves tenant retention, enhances building reputation, attracts new tenants and introduces additional revenue streams.

·       For tenants, a new space increases convenience, improves workplace morale, offers networking opportunities and enhances the workplace experience.

How terra alma Can Help

Our team is offering a brand-new program to provide comprehensive support in securing a new café operator. We engage with the ownership entity through a finder’s fee to begin the process. Many of the operators are our existing clients, so we support their early-stage growth by helping them secure a kitchen.

Next, we conduct thorough surveys of the existing space to understand existing conditions and offer recommendations on modifications or updates. During our examination, we consider:

  • Is the café space presentable?

  • When was the last time it was thoroughly cleaned?

  • How quickly can we transition a business inside?

We then use that information to establish the foundation for attracting the cafe shop operator. This assessment allows us to determine the ideal operator. Once terra alma better understands the space’s existing conditions, we prepare a marketing deck to share with prospective operators and tour the space with them.

The final step is partnering with clients to decide whether to outsource operations to a third-party local restauranteur or form a new in-house business. Both options have advantages, and we work closely with companies to determine the best approach based on their specific goals and circumstances.
