Working in the restaurant industry was rewarding but challenging. This podcast gives you the insights of the industry. The “The build” series gave some info I was not aware.
I listened to the Cloudy Donut episode & learned a lot, but I had to strain to hear everything clearly. I had the most difficulty understanding the woman host, then the male, but heard Zewidi fine if I didn’t run the shower.
Content is great, BUT PLEASE equalize your mics. It makes it super difficult to listen when one has to keep turning volume up and down because the man speaks so SO softly and the woman speaks so loudly. Only started the podcast so hopefully you figured it out..
Opening a restaurant in London soon, and found this excellent. Nuanced in a way other restaurant podcasts are not. Cheers all
I’m on number 4. The only thing that I can’t stand is this woman’s vocal fry! It’s ok to be “like a total valley girl ok” but to add the annoying vocal fry to the end of a sentence is like scratching a chalkboard! Especially if you do podcasts lol!
