Heidi Modra (Ophelia, Melbourne) - Restaurant life is emotional!

Restaurant life is emotional! Heidi Modra recently sold Pinotta after 14 years of looking after community, and thinking about her business day and night. She’s now an employee at Ophelia, adjusting to cafe rhythms and steering the ship as they open for nights. The transition was necessary but there’s rawness and grief along with reflection and relief. https://www.opheliawestgarth.com.au Chapters 00:00 Transitioning from Owner to Employee 02:50 The Emotional Journey of Closing a Restaurant 05:41 Reflections on Management Styles 08:56 The Challenges of Running a Small Business 11:51 Finding Relief in Employment 14:40 Grief and Growth After Closure 17:51 The Different Rhythms of Cafe and Restaurant Work 20:52 Creating a Nighttime Dining Experience 23:51 The Evolution of Hospitality Careers SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow Deep In The Weeds on Instagram      https://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=en Follow Huck https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Deep in the Weeds is a food podcast hosted by Anthony Huckstep in conversation with chefs, food producers and members of the hospitality industry.
