Rose Adam (The Middle Store) - lifting the veil
from Dirty Linen - A Food Podcast with Dani Valent · host A Deep in the Weeds Production
We’ve had an enormous response to our discussion on costs, pricing and the perception of value in hospitality. Cafes are at the pricing coalface...just ask any cafe owner about the cost of eggs! Today we’re heading to Adelaide to chat to Rose Adam, whose Middle Store is so beloved by regulars that some of them encouraged her to raise prices. We talk about why it's so hard to lift the veil and reveal the inner workings of a hospitality business and why being so connected to customers makes it both harder and easier to set prices where they need to be. https://www.instagram.com/themiddlestore/?hl=en Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.
