Client Spotlight: Inside Werqwise

In San Francisco, where ideas converge and startups are born overnight, Werqwise has carved out a place where both work and community can thrive. With two vibrant locations and a third on the way in Telegraph Hill, Werqwise builds environments where people feel connected, inspired, and supported. Every detail is designed with intention, from the architecture of the space to the amenities that shape daily life.

Among those details is water. Simple and essential, yet powerful in the way it signals care and elegance. From the very first location in 2017, Werqwise chose Vivreau to be part of its identity, a choice that continues to elevate the member experience across every space.

That philosophy shows up everywhere. Amenities are not afterthoughts but community builders, from member breakfasts and happy hours to lounges, espresso machines, and premium hydration. Each touchpoint is intentional, designed to support productivity while encouraging connection.

In the Bay Area’s startup culture, these moments of connection matter. Vivreau’s water dispensers are placed in high-traffic areas, transforming kitchens and lounges into natural gathering spaces.

“Everybody goes to the kitchen to grab coffee, tea, or sparkling water, and that’s when people start talking,” Andrea explains. “Those moments spark collaborations and ideas.” 

A Hospitality Touch with Effortless Ease

Luxury in a workplace can often be the subtle signals that make people feel cared for. At Werqwise, members and their guests don’t drink from unattractive single-use plastic bottles. Instead, they are greeted with a sleek Vivreau tap offering chilled still, sparkling, hot, or ambient water in seconds.

That pride is important. In spaces where startups host investors and partners, details such as sparkling water served in glassware elevate hospitality beyond the standard coworking model. With Vivreau dispenser systems a go-to choice for upscale global hotel brands and Fortune 500 companies, both the exceptional design and function signal a premium choice to clients.

For the member experience team, Vivreau is more than a convenience. It is a transformation of operations. Traditional bottled water service requires ordering, storage, refrigeration, and recycling. All at a cost of money and time. With Vivreau’s water dispensers micro-filtering water directly from the tap, all of that disappears.

That time is reinvested where it matters most: creating experiences, not managing inventory. With Vivreau as your hydration partner, the service program keeps everything running smoothly with regular maintenance, filter changes, and sanitization built in.

With certified technicians and 24/7 digital assistant support, operators can trust their system to perform without interruption.

Sustainability has always been central to Werqwise’s identity. Their sister company, Apiro produces adaptive office walling that reduces construction waste by allowing layouts to be reconfigured without demolition. In an industry where a substantial percentage of waste in the United States comes from construction, this innovation has a measurable impact.

Vivreau fits naturally into that vision. By eliminating single-use plastic water bottles, Werqwise reduces both its environmental footprint, and operational burden. Members are encouraged to bring their own bottles, while branded cups and glassware reinforce the culture of sustainability.
