This week we're listening to Jade Ponomarenko, our operations manager, talk about her role and celebrating growth in Mouse Tail. 🐭 ____________ This post dissects my journey from coffee shop enthusiast to multi-site operations manager in the specialty coffee industry. It's a story of growth, challenges, and the importance of building a strong team. Humble Beginnings My love affair with coffee began in a small village cafe, where I honed my customer service skills. Transitioning to a London specialty coffee chain, I climbed the ladder – Barista to Assistant Manager to Store Manager. During this time, recognising the value of understanding both "sides of the counter." Leading from the Front My promotion to multi-site manager was exciting yet daunting. Earning trust from former colleagues was a priority. I established mutual respect through open communication, sharing my vision, and valuing their insights. Delegation and Empowerment As a store manager, I was hands-on. This new role demanded a shift – guiding others in their leadership roles and taking a step back from day-to-day operations. Delegating tasks and trusting my managers was crucial. My focus shifted to empowering them with resources, support and autonomy. Challenges and Collaboration Balancing the needs of multiple stores while ensuring consistent quality presented challenges. When issues arose, open discussions ensured all perspectives were heard. Creating a collaborative culture was key. Regular meetings allowed managers to share successes, best practices, and brainstorm solutions. This fostered teamwork and improved operational efficiency. Celebrating Success and Continuous Growth Recognising achievements is essential. Often, it is easy to let praise go unsaid, as managers are constantly focused on improvement and growth. It became extremely important for me to go against the grain in this case, and not allow myself to be consumed by the addiction to improvement only. Maintaining site-level standards is a feat in and of itself, and deserves recognition. Reflection and Moving Forward Looking back, my first multi-site position offered invaluable lessons. The most valuable takeaways were the importance of communication, teamwork, and follow-through. Effective leadership isn't about having all the answers, but about guiding, supporting, and empowering others to reach their full potential. As I continue my journey in this second multi-site operational role, these lessons guide me in creating a positive and inclusive environment. It's been an enriching experience, and I eagerly face future opportunities and challenges. Bonus Tip: My key advice for new multi-site managers – empower yourselves with your on-the-floor experiences, balancing it with company goals and a business-focused mindset as you learn more about that in your new role. Good luck! Jade #specialitycoffee #london #hospitality

When I started #studying #analyzing and #investing in #restaurants and #food, my idea of these businesses was just like everyone else- This is an easy business that can generate cash. But little did I know this was a #science, an #art, and god knows what else. At times, it felt like crafting a #Monalisa, and at times, it felt like launching a #satellite. There were so many variables and so many metrics. However, one critical metric always remained: hiring the right guy at the top. This is what I translated to my #investments as well. This was highlighted again in the recent #Starbucks case as well, where the outgoing CEO couldn't fill in the big shoes of legendary Howard Schultz. While it's still to see what plays out at least on paper Brian Niccol from Chipotle Mexican Grill looks to be a better choice. And why do I say that? From my experience of knowing this space I believe that in the fast-paced world of #coffee and #customer service, having a # leader who truly understands the industry's nuances can make all the difference. 1️⃣ Deep #Industry Insight: A CEO with restaurant experience brings invaluable knowledge about operations, customer service, and supply chain # management. They understand the #challenges and #opportunities unique to the food and beverage industry. 2️⃣ Customer-Centric Approach: With firsthand experience, they can better empathize with both employees and customers, fostering a culture that prioritizes exceptional service and customer satisfaction. 3️⃣ #Operational Excellence: Running a successful #restaurant requires a keen eye for #detail and efficiency. This expertise helps streamline #processes, reduce #waste, and improve overall performance. 4️⃣ Innovation and Adaptability: The restaurant industry is ever-evolving. A seasoned leader knows how to #innovate and adapt to changing consumer preferences and market trends, keeping the #brand relevant and competitive. 5️⃣ Building #Strong #Teams: Experience in the restaurant sector often means a deep understanding of team dynamics and the importance of #training and development, leading to a motivated and #skilled #workforce. At Starbucks, a CEO with a restaurant background isn't just a leader; they're a visionary who can steer the company towards sustainable growth and success and may be fill in some part of shoes that Howard Schultz leaves behind 🌱☕ #Leadership #Starbucks #IndustryExperience #CustomerService #Innovation #humanresource #HR #management

Let’s talk management companies in Foodservice…. (think Sodexo, Aramark, Compass) Are they worth pursuing, and how do they contribute to your growth? A management company “manages” all of the aspects of the food operations from hiring, buying, menu initiatives, finance and more at universities, hospitals, corporate cafeterias, K-12, stadiums, etc. They certainly do have their place, specifically with larger commodity items, but getting authorized with a management company for emerging, better for you brands is mostly just a ‘license to hunt’ and will not open up new distribution for you. Certainly attempt conversations with the management companies but don’t view those potential partnerships as an “end all be all.” What are your thoughts, what did I miss? Happy selling.
