Potential Meeting Locations

Choosing a Meeting Location

Like a good Finish Location, a good business meeting location will have many of the following characteristics:

• Place orders at the counter – so each person or group of people can order and pay separately and a wait-person won't care that we're sitting a long while
• A fairly quiet place for us – a room/area reserved is ideal, if we don't have to pay for it.
  • We need available space (e.g., tables we can move together can suffice).
  • We need not too much noise (such as sports TV or loud music).
  • We don't want our discussion to ruin anyone else's evening.

• Open late – at least until 10 PM, and later would be better. If our meeting goes to 10, some may chat or work on the next rallye.
  • Many pizza places close at 9 PM.

• Various types of food – because not everyone wants the same thing (not even pizza)
• Reasonably low prices.
• Good lighting – so people can read from papers
• Reasonably close to attendees or to freeway – so we can arrive on time and start the meeting and also make a quick getaway.

• Review: Their salad bar was considerably smaller and less appetizing than other Round Tables.
• They have a "back room" but it cannot be reserved IIRC and there can be arcade machine noise.
