“Why need so many people?”
“What is everyone doing? One take orders, one serve, one washes?”
We hear this quite often. If you didn’t say it, someone probably did while waiting for their food… or by just looking at the queue 😅
At first glance, it may look simple, just kopi and toast. But behind the counter, every person has a role to make sure your order comes out right, fast, and still warm.
When we first started, our dad James did everything from memory. No systems, no screens, just pure experience and instinct. When we took over, it was pen and paper everywhere, scribbling orders as fast as we could while trying not to mix things up.
Now we’ve moved onto a more organised system, so orders are clearer, things move faster, and mistakes are kept to a minimum. Still the same stall, just a bit more “fast hand fast leg” behind the scenes.
From one-man show to full team effort, a lot has changed over the years. But the heart hasn’t changed: just trying our best every single day to get your kopi siu dai, teh peng less ice, yuan yang c kosong and Kaya toast, with less spread, out right. 😊
