Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the counter at a cafe/restaurant? Here's your chance to have a peak behind the scenes of the hospitality/customer service. Joella and Helene talk about the funny things customers say, how to reign in a belly laugh in an inappropiate situation, what it is to be a weekender, and exploring the frustrations of 'Who Does That?'
A friendship forged in the chaos of working in hospitality. Joella and Helene take you behind the sacred counter of a cafe and share what it is really like serving coffee and food to humans all day. Customer service is filled with its own unique life and no one really knows what goes on behind a counter. What makes it all that much more fascinating is that one of them is originally from the UK and the other from New Zealand, but they both live in Canada. You would think the cultures, both in hospitably and life, are not that far apart but it is not as interchangeable as it seems.In this slightly quirky but wholesome podcast you will hear about customers that have the potential to make or break a perfectly great working day, what it is like to live in a country not your own and the banter between two great friends. Occasionally you might get a glimpse into the beauty that is humanity and how a 5 minute interaction can make an entire occupation worth it.We know how to laugh at ourselves, at each other and most importantly, at other people. We simply want to invite you to have a cuppa with us, and enjoy the conversation.....oh wait, and another thing...
