What do you think of renting office pods on demand?

If you like/expected to work from office, this is not for you.

I work most part from home. And every second day, end up going to a cafe. I spend 20-30 bucks every time I go there. However there are a few inconveniences - charging port, noise, finding a guaranteed seat.

This thought struck me - what if there are on demand work pods that you can book from an app for 30 min/1 hour to take those important meetings or calls/ or just need some calm. These pods can be placed near metro stations, in parking lots, near cafés, public places, inside malls, gyms, parks etc.

I did the math, and doesn’t work out. Nevertheless do you like the idea? If I get enough upvotes, I might go ahead and put my energies on this. If you don’t like this idea, feel free to downvote

Consider the cost for booking to be $10 for one hour and you get good discounts if you book weekly/monthly fixed hours. At scale, this should look like having single pod, 2-4 people pods at at least 100 locations in a city like London, SF, Singapore or Dubai
