    How We Calculate the WFH Score

    Our Work From Home score helps you find the perfect spot for remote work. Here's what goes into each score.

    10

    Maximum possible score

    Google Rating

    up to 2 pts

    We pull the spot's Google Maps rating (out of 5 stars) and double it. Higher-rated places get more points.

    WiFi Quality

    up to 2 pts

    Fast, reliable WiFi is essential for remote work. This is one of the most important factors in our scoring.

    Vibe

    up to 1.5 pts

    The overall feel of the space—decor, lighting, and cleanliness all factor in. A well-designed, inviting environment makes work sessions more enjoyable.

    Tastiness

    up to 1 pt

    Good food and drinks make long work sessions more pleasant. We rate the menu quality.

    Atmosphere

    up to 1 pt

    Calm environments score highest. Moderate noise is fine. Very active or boisterous spots lose points—it's hard to focus in chaos!

    Seating

    up to 1 pt

    Ample seating both indoors and outdoors gets full points. Having options (one ample, one limited) still scores well.

    Outlets

    up to 0.5 pts

    Power access is helpful for long sessions, though many folks bring their own portable chargers these days.

    Local Business Bonus

    up to 1 pt

    We give a bonus to locally-owned spots. Supporting small businesses in NSB is part of what makes this community great!
