About Me

Over the past few years, I've explored the cafe community across the country as a consumer, barista, and now consultant. I've been fortunate enough to meet thousands of guests, build relationships with cafe owners, and connect with hundreds of baristas. With every cafe I visit, I gain a new perspective on the cafe industry. Each cafe has its strengths, its weaknesses, its own market, and dedicated fans, but what distinguishes cafes from one another?


I challenged myself to sit down and think about this question. If each cafe is great and unique, why do people gravitate towards some more than others? While my opinions are completely arbitrary, I've developed the lines of questioning necessary to determine what separates the best from the best in the cafe community.


I am a charismatic and motivated business consultant, educator, and barista specializing in learning & development for the cafe industry, and I'm passionate in the scientific art of coffee, connecting with teams, and creating an ultimate guest experience through world class hospitality. Objectively, my goal is to build an Ultimate Cafe community by sharing my knowledge with others and conducting critical industry research. 

What is an ultimate cafE?

Simply put, an ultimate cafe is one that is superior in beverage and coffee offerings, food, design, social impact, online presence, aura, branding, guest experience, and cleanliness.


While several cafes live up to these standards, there are many ways to improve industry-wide. In January 2023, I started asking questions to help bridge the information gap between the current state of the cafe community and future progress. I surveyed a few coffee friends and found that the cafe community wants to see wages increase, more positive work environments, more sustainability efforts, more plants in cafes, different tipping models, and better maintained equipment among other improvements. Are these things going to change overnight? Of course not! This said, the first step to solving a problem is admitting there is one and knowing what it is. This is the key to developing ultimate cafes, and elevating good cafes.


It's the ultimate card game - every cafe has their set of cards, their special, 'wild cards', and it's all about strategy, and the community decides the winners. 

Services

I offer a wide array of services in and out of the cafe including live training, group training, cafe analysis, business consultation, learning & development, cafe development, and access to resources and course materials.
