Crushed Business

One thing most successful entrepreneurs all have in common: Failure.

That’s what “FuckUp Night” is all about, celebrating failure. This networking event was actually founded by Carlos Zimbron. He launched these events to “encourage entrepreneurs to embrace their business failures, share the lessons learned, and celebrate them with the crowd.”

You may probably don’t need even space for this but it is cool so we are adding to here!

Events

  • How far in advance shall I book my event?

    We recommend at least 72 hours in advance for simple events. If you plan to order catering, branding and any special preparation, 5 days minimum may do it.

  • What is the difference between employee events and promotional events?

    In many ways, employee events and promotional events are similar. Your goal is ultimately to keep your guests entertained and satisfied, thereby showing them that they were right to be involved with your company. However, we bring a unique spin to each and every event we plan. Product launch and branding events need to showcase your company and the unique product(s) you offer, whereas employee appreciation events are about team building as much as anything else.

  • Should my corporate event have a theme?

    The short answer is yes, with one major caveat: your theme does not have to turn your event into a theme party. In fact, most of the time that’s exactly the opposite of the atmosphere you’re trying to create. While a western theme might be great for a company picnic, it would hardly be appropriate for a product promotion (in most cases). When we say that every event should have a theme, we mean there should be a clear idea of the purpose of every event, which informs the theme. The food, décor, entertainment, and every other element of your corporate event should be in the service of the event’s purpose. These elements combine to form your corporate event theme.

  • Why should I host an on-site lunch at my workplace?

    Although more lavish corporate events can provide a big boost to morale, many companies can simply not afford to hold these types of events more than once a year. On-site lunches are a great alternative, allowing you to remind your employees that they’re valued all year round. If you are hosting clients, a professionally catered on-site lunch can show your clients that you mean business. West Quay Offices offer lunch solutions in budget which you should give a try.

  • How are on-site lunches different from just ordering in?

    Our on-site lunches are catered fresh and prepared to serve at your office. Unlike takeout food, our catered lunches are guaranteed to still be hot when you sit down to eat.

  • What are our food options for on-site lunches?

    The catering menu for our on-site lunches includes everything we offer for corporate dinners, and every other type of event we plan. For corporate lunches, our most popular items include fresh salads, succulent meat sandwiches, hot dogs, sushi, and delicious sides.

  • Should I throw a holiday party at West Quay Offices?

    The decision to throw a holiday party is up to every business, but you should know that about 80 percent of north American businesses do throw holiday parties of some kind. The holidays can be a stressful time for employees, so throwing a party at this time of year can be a much needed relief. Also, in the spirit of giving that comes with the season, showing your employees a good time is a great way to show you care.

  • What Are Some Good Holiday Party Ideas?

    It starts with delicious food and drinks, continues with world-class entertainment, and ends with your employees thanking you for a fantastic time.

  • Why should I hold a branding or promotional corporate event?

    A solid marketing plan is oftentimes the key to success in the business world. When you want to launch a new product, open a new location, or simply remind the world about your business, a promotional or branding event can be just what you’re looking for. It can generate public interest in whatever you’re promoting and, when done right, will leave a lasting positive impression on your potential customers.

  • What are some good promotional event ideas?

    It depends on the nature of your event, specifically the product or service that you’re trying to promote. A new brand of liquor might call for a swinging cocktail party, while a new line of kids’ clothes will call for something that’s fun for the whole family. But the focus should always be on your promotion.

  • What is the best way to throw a branding event?

    Branding is one of the most important parts of any marketing plan. Branding events should specially designed to keep your brand front and center. Once you decide on what elements you want at your promotional event, we’ll make sure your brand is visible everywhere.

  • Why should I have an employee appreciation event?

    Showing your employees isn’t just the right thing to do; it’s also good for business. Employee appreciation events show your workers how much you care, leading to higher employee satisfaction. This translates to higher retention rates and increased productivity. These type of events also tend to foster a more pleasant work environment for everyone, including you.

  • How Do I Improve my Team Building Efforts?

    An employee appreciation event can be a great opportunity for team building. Some events are exclusively thrown for team building purposes, while others work team building games into the overall day.

  • What are some good grand opening ideas?

    When it comes to throwing a grand opening, the key is to impress your potential customers to keep them coming back for more. After we know a little more about what makes your business special, we can come up with the best grand opening ideas you’ve ever seen.

  • What are the benefits of having a business open house?

    Restaurants and retailers pretty much need to have a grand opening to announce that they are open for business. But what if you are in a service-oriented industry? An open house can be a great way to let the public know who you are and what you can offer them. Businesses as diverse as dental offices, print shops, and hair salons can all benefit from the publicity an open house can bring.

  • What are some good corporate open house ideas?

    A good corporate open house should showcase your business and the people who make it work. That generally means shying away from flashier entertainment pieces and extravagant meals. Instead, you want to focus on making your business look presentable and making sure potential customers can park easily. Some tasteful decorations can also let people know that there is something to see here. Hiring a professional event planner can help you make sure that your open house is a success by handling the logistics and decorations that can make or break this type of corporate event.

  • Can I Choose The Music During My Event?

    Of course you can. Please provide us with the playlist OR a USB stick with the mp3 music. We would also like to inform you that we cannot play explicit songs.

  • How can I use 4K TV you offer during my event for presentation?

    The easiest way for this would be for you to give us a USB stick with the information you'd like to present and we can connect it to the TV for you. Videos need to be MP4 (H.264 codec) HD (1920px x 1080px) or 4K/Ultra HD (3840px x 2160px). The more bandwidth is always better but around 4,000 would be sufficient.

    Another alternative would be for you to broadcast from your laptop or mobile device directly to the TV.

  • Do you serve liquor?

    Yes, we can serve liquor during your event.

  • Can I do events on weekends?

    Yes, especially holiday parties, special events or events that participants will be more than 30+ people should be on weekends or after 5 PM during weekdays.

  • I am a member, do I need to pay for event space?

    If you are inviting more than one visitors, and hosting an event that will take place in the evening and/or on the weekend, yes, you will need to reserve the space. Don't forget that members get an additional discount!

  • Do you notify my invited visitors to my event?

    Yes, all invited visitors to the event needs to be registered by you in order for them to receive an invitation email, which they will be able to register themselves with using the kiosk at the entrance of the office space. This will let you be notified once your guests have arrived.

  • Do you allow outside groups to book at West Quay Offices for meetings or events?

    Yes, we do. Please contact us , visit the meeting spaces or the events page.

  • Can I bring my kids to work with me?

    At this time we are not able to accommodate children. In instances of an emergency we are accommodating for short durations in the workplace when a responsible parent is present at all times with them.

    A reason for this is due to our offices having various high-tech items which may not be safe for children. As well as due to the disturbance it may cause to other Members.

  • What are the payment methods?

    You can pay conveniently by bank transfer, debit or credit card.
