English Language & Usage Asked by lofidevops on January 8, 2021
A while ago I came across a phrase that succinctly described how a new or existing business might need to offer some basic service in order to compete meaningfully. It may have been sporting or gambling related. The sentiment was similar to a "barrier to entry". It went something like…
Coffee shop owners know that free wifi is what you need to play the game
Any ideas?
You may be thinking of "table stakes".
In its original meaning in poker, the "table stake" is an amount a player has to bet in order to participate in a game.
The term has been adopted in business jargon to mean exactly the concept you're trying to express; the minimum offering to be able to participate in a market.
