02/How we work
More than shared offices.
The OPEN offices and BRU Coffee & Bar sit alongside one another on Siam Country Club Road, so you can meet at the studio or over coffee next door. The more useful point is operational: we do not only advise or build for other businesses, we operate businesses ourselves.
01
We operate businesses
Cafés, ordering, staffing, guides and tools we run ourselves.
02
We meet real problems
Queues, stock, rotas, payroll, admin that eats the day.
03
We review the process
Watch the work as it happens, before touching any software.
04
We improve the system
Often a process change, not a new piece of technology.
05
We build what is worth building
Only when the return is clear, and never for its own sake.
06
We use it, then learn
It runs in a live business, and the result shapes the next step.
A worked example
BRU Direct Order and BRU Payroll both started as everyday problems in a busy café: taking orders without paying platform commission, and paying staff accurately each period. They were reviewed, built, then used inside a real hospitality business rather than sold as theory.
BRU is part of the OPEN / Hub ecosystem, so this is our own operating experience rather than an external client case study.
We do not only advise businesses. We build and operate them too.
03/Services

Grouped by what you need, with the company or brand that delivers it named in each case. OPEN / Hub does not deliver these services itself. It connects you with the team that does.

Why work with us
Est. 2006

Own office

Some client relationships now span more than a decade. Four registered companies, eight brands.
04/About
OPEN / 20 years
OPEN was founded in Pattaya in 2006 as OPEN Advertising, offering print and online design, marketing and advertising at a time when websites were just becoming essential for local businesses.
In 2016, on our 10th anniversary, OPEN Advertising became OPEN Design Studio, marking the shift from a traditional advertising agency to a modern creative studio focused on branding, web design and digital work.
In April 2022 we moved into our custom-built offices on Siam Country Club Road in East Pattaya, and as the work grew beyond design, the company became OPEN Business Hub Co., Ltd.
In 2026 the name became OPEN /, a structure that can hold specialist divisions while keeping one history and one way of working. OPEN Advertising, then OPEN Design Studio, now OPEN /. OPEN / Hub is the group, its history and its place. OPEN / Studio builds websites, branding, hosting and digital production. OPEN / Consult reviews how a business actually runs and improves the system behind it.
Around them sit the other businesses and brands in the ecosystem. Thai Business Help covers visas, work permits, company setup and accounting, with PattayaStaff.com handling verified local hiring. Pattaya Guide runs AI-powered local guides, business listings and tours. BRU Group runs BRU Coffee & Bar next door and its own ordering platform, BRU Direct Order.
Alongside them are the products built in house: BahtMarket.com for live Thai gold prices, Geo Connect for link shortening and QR codes, and BrandBox Thailand for low minimum order custom packaging.
Twenty years in, the names have evolved and the commitment has not: thoughtful work, honest advice and partnerships that last. Some client relationships now span more than a decade. That trust, more than any name or website, is the milestone we are proudest of.
If you are interested in any of our services, get in touch and we can arrange a meeting at the studio, or over coffee next door.
