Espresso: The ship will always keep sailing - Paul Ainsworth, Ainsworth Collection

0:01Morning, morning, or welcome. Yes, I have grown a tash, I have got a nose ring and I am covered in tattoos. I am your barista for the day. Welcome to Espresso Short Snappy Espresso Short Podcast episodes. I've literally downloaded all the wisdom from all the founders and all the brands, like Gude, Tills, Coconut Collaborative, Candy Kittens, Little Moons, Planet Organic, and I've distilled it into this micro, short, snappy wisdom to give you a mahoosive edge on the day, to kickstart your day. So look, without further ado, let's get cracking and enjoy this Espresso Short. that's one of the big things i say to my team is like listen to learn not just to reply you see so often that people aren't really listening to what's being told to them they're just waiting for the reply you can see it you can see the answer the answer back building from their core ready to just burst out their mouth if they just actually controlled that and even if they get to the end of it and think i'm not sure that that makes sense or i believe what you're telling me but just listen don't talk too much listen to what's been certainly when you're you know younger and you're you're starting out listen listen listen and surround yourself with people that are better than you quick one guys Espresso's got a brand new sponsor Unleashed Unleashed's inventory management software that talks directly to your finance and econ software we use Unleashed daily islands I bloody love it we've got our admin time in half saving approximately 30k a year why use it save money save headaches save stress get granular clarity on your margins know where your stock is don't miss availability look your favorite brands literally use unleashed as their backbone candy kittens tiny rebel trip always religiously look there's a link in the show notes please feel free to book a call with josh who's a wonderful sales team at unleashed they're amazing even nothing comes of it and even better news you'll get your first month free if your reference hungry thank you don't look at that as like oh you know like you know we're all we're all the same and you know you should never think people are better than you it's not a negative it's a positive and what it means people that have got more experience people that have done it people that have got something good to say surround yourself with people like that and now and it happens all the time if someone's like well you know do you know what i i don't i don't believe what it is you're doing or what you're saying no problem at all but don't stay here life's too short go and find what makes you happy because if you boil everything down it doesn't matter if you it looks great on your cv it doesn't matter if you think yeah well i'll stick it out because it will look really good if i've got this restaurant on my cv honestly don't do it you will go and find somewhere that makes makes you happy because if you're happy then everything else will fall into place.

2:55If you're just going through the motions and you become bitter and you're walking around, you know, moping or miserable or you, that's not good for both sides. And the reason I can be at peace with that now is because I know that then that's not going to be the best for the whole picture, the team, the customer, the customer will suffer. And it takes a while to get there because in kitchens we're always like yeah but there's a mise en place and we need to hold on to them and we need them we've got to we've got to hold on to them and that and I talk with you know all of my head chefs and my sous chefs and I'm like let me tell you this the ship will always sail and if you've got a good core strong team the core people around you you'll always and it goes back to make it happen but don't have people in the team that are disruptive or don't believe in it because what that then does it spreads and bleeds into everything because so often what i found is those people who don't believe in it generally won't come up to the level that you want them to be they'll end up dragging the team around them down to where they think it should be and for me i'd rather be a little bit more in the shit a little bit more like running like running around but be running around with a group of individuals that absolutely want it rather than having a full team but a couple of them are bad eggs thank you so so much for listening it honestly means the world to me i hope you enjoyed your morning coffee and go and have an amazing day let's be having ya if you want the fun episode it will be in the show notes a link will be in the show notes the full episode thank Thank you so much.
