For Microsoft 365 and Teams
GatherBrew matches your employees for a short coffee break every week. Setup takes 10 minutes.
First month free · No commitment
Your coffee this week is with Ayşe Demir — Finance
The Problem
Office culture no longer forms by itself. Three reasons.
People come to the office on different days. Bumping into someone in the hallway is a thing of the past.
Accounting and sales sit on the same floor but haven't talked in months. When work comes up, two strangers pick up the phone.
The first month, they only know their own team. By the third month, they're still eating lunch alone.
How it works
Total effort from the employee: two clicks. Busy week? "Skip this week" is always an option — no penalties.
"Your coffee this week is with Ayşe Demir — Finance." One question: are you available?
GatherBrew checks calendars, finds a shared 30-minute window, and sends the invite itself.
A reminder goes out with a conversation starter. That's it.
Privacy
Managers cannot see who met with whom — nor who skipped, nor who never participated.
| Visible in HR panel | Not visible |
|---|---|
| ✓Company-wide participation rate | ✕Who met with whom |
| ✓Total number of meetings | ✕How many times someone skipped |
| ✓Cross-department connection density (anonymous) | ✕Meeting ratings |
| ✓New hire onboarding status | ✕Individual participation history |
Departments with fewer than five active users are never shown in reports — to prevent identity inference. Participation is voluntary; the company cannot automatically enroll anyone.
New hires
When a new employee joins, GatherBrew plans the first 30 days automatically.
An introductory coffee is set up with someone from their own team.
They're matched with four people from four different departments.
No one has to say "go meet people," HR doesn't keep spreadsheets. Completion rate is visible in the dashboard.
Getting started
If your team doesn't use it, you don't need to continue. Setup takes 10 minutes, and we arrange the first week's matches.
