Opportunities, a bit of luck and a lot tenacity: Peter Dore-Smith, Kaffeine

from Coffee Knowledge Hub · host Andrew Tolley

In this 34th episode we're sitting down with someone who we have wanted to sit down with since before we started this podcast.  Peter Dore-Smith, the founder of Kaffeine in London, has built one of the most recognised specialty cafes in the world. Over the next hour or so we're going to cover what it actually takes to run a great cafe — not in theory, but in practice. We'll get into the vision and hospitality philosophy that has defined Kaffeine since day one, the brand and marketing work that keeps it in people's minds, and the operational and financial discipline that keeps it viable. These are the essential blocks for building a business that outlasts trends and remains visible while the competitive landscape evolves. Peter has always been incredibly generous in sharing his knowledge. If you work in or run your own cafe, or you are thinking about starting one, grab a pen and paper because the masterclass is bout to begin. https://kaffeine.co.uk/Instagram kaffeine.londonhttps://coffeeknowledgehub.com/
