Tips for a Cafe Client Meeting

A cafe meeting goes better with a little planning. These are general, common-sense tips.

1. Check the hours on the day. Many cafes close in the early afternoon, and hours change on public holidays.
2. Avoid the rush. Mid-morning or early afternoon is usually easier than peak breakfast or lunch.
3. Arrive first. Get there 10 minutes early so you can find a table and send your client a clear “I’m at the table by the window” message.
4. Agree on time. Say up front how long you have, so the meeting doesn’t drift.
5. Buy the coffee. If you invited the client, offer to pay. Order before you start talking business.
6. Bring what you need. A charged laptop or printed notes. Don’t count on a power point or Wi-Fi.
7. Keep it non-confidential. Talk about scope and next steps, not private figures or personal details.
8. Have a plan B. Know where you’ll go if the cafe is full or too loud.

When a Cafe Isn’t the Right Place for a Client Meeting

Cafes are fine for a first chat or a quick catch-up. They are a poor fit for some meetings:

• Confidential conversations. Pricing, legal matters, health details, staff issues or anything your client wouldn’t want overheard by the next table.
• Presentations. Showing slides, designs or a demo on a screen both people can see.
• Signing or reviewing documents. Spreading papers across a small table next to coffee cups rarely goes well.
• Longer working sessions. Workshops or planning sessions that run for hours.
• Video calls with a third party. Background noise makes it hard for everyone.

For these, a private room you can book is the better option. Hunters Hill Offices has meeting rooms at 53-55 Gladesville Road, a short walk from the cafes above. If you meet clients often, a private office gives you a permanent base, and our post on running a business from home covers the address side of meeting clients when you work from your house.
