CoffeeMaker: Get Started
Just like standing around the coffee maker in the office kitchen, CoffeeMaker sparks light conversation within your team. The CoffeePals App will post thought-provoking questions in your team for participants to answer in text form. Example: "What's your favourite quote and what makes it so good for you?". This is a great asynchronous way for your team to get to know one another.
