This coming Thursday, February 23rd, we will be rolling out a new way for us all purchase our breakfast. Here it goes:
As before we will have the two normal breakfast options, the $7.50 or the $9.50 deal, plus tax. The $7.50 keeps to be the minimum purchase in support of our venue hosts. The only thing that changes is that there will be two places for us to pay for our breakfast depending on what we'd like to have:
For the $7.50 option, with regular coffee or your choice of teas:
If you want the $7.50 deal ($8.50 incl. HST) with a regular coffee or your choice of tea, please go directly upstairs where Bonnie, our first volunteer cashier, will take your cash and will hand you a cup for your beverage. Coffee, a selection of teas and breakfast items will be set up in the meeting area. Receipts will also be available for you when you check in with Bonnie. Once you’ve paid for your breakfast you may go in and grab your seat and breakfast.
For everything else, e.g. the $7.50 breakfast with specialty coffees/teas, the $9.50 deal, or if you wish to pay with your credit card:
Please go directly to the counter downstairs where you will be ordering and receiving your breakfast. Once you have your breakfast in your hands, please come upstairs to our meeting area and join the crowd.
With this new process we hope for a smoother and faster process of purchasing breakfast and for the meeting to start in a timely fashion, which translates in to more time for networking afterwards!!!
Doors to the Buzz open at 7:00am, the meeting will start at 7:15am.
Please note: It will no longer be possible for attendees to first go upstairs, grab a seat and then go back down to purchase breakfast. Buying breakfast will be the first thing we all do, and then we will be granted access to the meeting space.
I'm sure this new process will work out great once we're all used to it. Please bare with us as we iron out any potential small glitches that might pop up - and pleeeease do remember to educate your guests how HOBN Yaletown works. Thank you!
Thanks so much to Marilyn and Bonnie, our first two volunteers as greeter and cashier. Are you interested in helping us out as a volunteer once in a while? Let Neil or myself know and we'll gladly sign you up. It's a great way for you to stand out of the crowd and distinguish yourself as a leader in our HOBN community.
As always, we look forward to yet another energizing and mutually successful HOBN Yaletown meeting! Oh, if you haven't signed up yet, here's the link for you: http://hobnonline.com/meetings/yaletown_2012-02-23

Guests are always welcome in addition to the 25 RSVP's.
Important Note about Inviting Guests:
Whenever you invite guests to an HOBN meeting in Yaletown please do educate them about the $7.50 minimum purchase, the two breakfast choices they have and what these include. This will ensure that the process at the counter is smooth and pleasant for everybody.
In the past few weeks there were several occasions where guests did not know about the minimum purchase or the existing breakfast options, which created awkward moments for both parties at the counter, in addition to time being wasted. And you know what a precious commodity time is at The Buzz on a Thursday morning. :-)
So please inform your guests about the experience at the Buzz, including how an early arrival may secure them a good spot at the table etc. This way they are prepared and are more likely to have an overall enjoyable experience.
Thanks a lot to you all for doing such a great job at bringing your connections to HOBN Yaletown - we appreciate the opportunity of getting to know all these wonderful folks.
Looking forward to our usual Thursday buzz at The Buzz!
