Tell us about yourself
My name is Thomas Gwizdala, and I am the founder of Beans And Grind Inc. With my dedicated team, we proudly offer a combined 50 years of experience in the coffee, tea, and food service industry. As a group, we often discussed the many things done well and poorly alike by the many service providers such as ourselves in the marketplace.
The common theme seemed consistent among the many customers with whom we would often share a beverage. A quality crafted cup of coffee or tea, delivered through a modern, reliable, and easy to use brewer and done with a smile every time because exceptional customer service was a given. But most importantly, these things were done simply because although your coffee and tea were the premium fuel for your day, the calming moment away from the stresses, and the comforting warmth of a conversation with a friend, they did not need to be the reason with which your day was consumed. Out of this simple philosophy and shared thoughts of many consumers, Beans And Grind Inc. was born.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
The success of Beans And Grind within its competitive landscape. All thanks to the secret sauce... Phenomenal customer service built on real relationships and a focus on customer experiences.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Learning to say no. Embracing change. Getting the right support staff.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Get into an industry you love.
- Occupy the role you are good at.
- Get out of the way of talented staff and let them shine.
