Istanbul Cafes Implement Strict Time Limits to Deter Remote Workers
A growing number of cafes across Istanbul are introducing operational restrictions aimed directly at remote workers and freelancers. Cafe proprietors cite ongoing economic difficulties caused by patrons who occupy tables for extended periods—often working on laptops for several hours—while making minimal purchases. In response to this trend, establishments have begun enforcing strict time limits and instituting specific table-use policies to optimize seating turnover and maintain business profitability.
