About this listen

A friendship forged in the chaos of working in hospitality. Joella and Helene take you behind the sacred counter of a cafe and share what it is really like serving coffee and food to humans all day. Customer service is filled with its own unique life and no one really knows what goes on behind a counter. What makes it all that much more fascinating is that one of them is originally from the UK and the other from New Zealand, but they both live in Canada. You would think the cultures, both in hospitably and life, are not that far apart but it is not as interchangeable as it seems.

In this slightly quirky but wholesome podcast you will hear about customers that have the potential to make or break a perfectly great working day, what it is like to live in a country not your own and the banter between two great friends. Occasionally you might get a glimpse into the beauty that is humanity and how a 5 minute interaction can make an entire occupation worth it.

We know how to laugh at ourselves, at each other and most importantly, at other people. We simply want to invite you to have a cuppa with us, and enjoy the conversation.....oh wait, and another thing...

    Apr 24 2026

    On this week’s episode, Helene and Joella share stories from the first concert of the season, question whether “brain food” is really doing its job, and reflect on a week of customer interactions that left them wanting to ask, “Are you alright, love?"

    They also explore the delicate balance of saying “no” in hospitality, and how setting boundaries with customers can either risk losing business—or create stronger loyalty in the long run.

    On this week’s episode, Helene and Joella prove that even a chaotic start can lead to plenty of laughs—and a strong finish. From power outages and internal flooding to late-night dinners, this episode delivers on both humour and real-life hospitality moments.

    Amid it all, a couple of wholesome stories restore their faith in humanity—including an unexpected matchmaking moment.

    Helene then flips the script on the hospitality experience, diving into the idea of rating customers - much like how others rate and review business - and explores how simple actions can go a long way in boosting their score.
