Concept Scan
Understanding your current situation
The Concept Scan is designed to give you insight into your current situation. First, we map out your values, goals and objectives in a kick-off session. Then, we conduct stakeholder interviews with (potential) users of your coffee bar and visit the location to see where you can gain the most. We turn the whole thing upside down and inside out. This gives you:
- Insight into the current situation – strengths and weaknesses, competition, target audience, etc.
- A clear idea of your company’s values and how to implement these into your concept
- New project goals and objectives aimed towards community building
We present our findings in the Concept Scorecard. This scorecard designed to show you how your concept ‘scores’ based on the following cornerstones:
- Internal: Product, service, operations
- External: Design, vibes, brand
- Personal: People, community, story.
The Concept Scorecard is the starting point for the Concept Challenge, where we challenge your coffee bar concept and take it to the next level.
The Concept Scan is a great starting point of your journey towards a highly functional coffee bar in your office building. Whether you already have a coffee bar in place that just doesn’t work as well as you want it to or if you are looking to build a unique experience from scratch: let us help you find out what works for your space and company!

Challenge Session
Taking your concept to the next level
Our Challenge Sessions are unique and tailor-made to your concepting journey. We invite you and your key team members to join us for a brainstorm session, in which we challenge your team to take a deep-dive into your concept. It’s a highly inspiring and interactive session that will leave you buzzing with new ideas and possibilities.
We prepare the Challenge Session based on your Concept Scorecard to:
- Give a tailor made inspirational presentation geared towards your company
- Guide an in-depth group discussion about your concept
- Hold a post-it and sticker session.
After the session, we combine all our findings from the Concept Scan and Concept Challenge in a Concept Brief. In this document, we ‘pitch’ your new or improved concept. This brief is the base for all future steps towards improving or opening your unique coffee bar.
