British pay-per-view coffee shops welcome food and drink as you like.

Many people like to order a good drink in a coffee shop and sit all afternoon. If the coffee shop charges by time, can you accept it?

Such time-paid coffee shops have emerged in Manchester and Liverpool in the UK, named "Ziferblat". The word means "clock face" in Russian. Customers should register as if they were staying in a hotel and record the time of arrival. Then they can order as much as they like, free of charge, and charge 6p (0.5 yuan) per minute according to the length of time in the store.

Colin, the coffee shop owner? Shenton said that it is true that some customers order a lot of food and drinks, gobble them up, then check out and leave, which takes only three minutes and costs 18p (1.49 yuan). But many people still enjoy good food and quiet time leisurely, such as a customer who writes a book in a coffee shop and sits for 11 hours.

'The charging mechanism is unique, 'Mr. Shenton said. Although it was questioned at the beginning of its opening, it is now beginning to turn a profit. However, he also said that coffee shop charges should be based on local rents, such as charging 25p (2 yuan) per minute to make money in London, which is rich in land.
