What To Bring
Laptop
Please bring your laptop and charger to the office. While we have USB-C chargers available throughout the office, please don't rely on these alone and bring your own charger as backup.
Layers
September is one of SF's warmest months, but mornings and evenings can still be quite cool. Bring multiple light layers that you can adjust throughout the day as temperatures change and fog rolls in or out.
Breakfast Information
We will provide a light breakfast of pastries/bagels and fruit on both days.
Snacks, coffee, and drinks will be available all day.
Lunch Information
We use a service called Forkable for lunch! Here's how it works:
Forkable will email you a link to the menu for 9/3 and 9/4 on Friday the 29th
You will need to order your lunch by 2pm the day before delivery
That's it! Lunch will arrive on Wednesday and Thursday around 12:00pm.
Miss the deadline? You're on your own for lunch that day! Backup options nearby:
