אודות פרק זה
In this episode, Adrian and Ed go wireless for the first time, testing a new setup LIVE and seeing how it changes the flow of the conversation.
Ed kicks things off by breaking down his coffee order—and that quickly turns into a broader take on coffee culture and some of the trends surrounding it.
Adrian then dives into a familiar situation in restaurants:
When guests walk into a new or remodeled space, but can’t let go of the old one.
It becomes a conversation about nostalgia vs the current dining experience, and how that mindset shapes expectations.
They also get into real service talk:
* What happens when guests arrive late
* How it impacts the restaurant, the flow, and the overall experience
Then it shifts:
* When do you actually arrive at the airport?
To close it out, "Hulk Ed" tackles a fan question:
How to handle the clash between AM shift and PM shift workers?
