We are excited to highlight another amazing business owner as part of our Women’s History Month Spotlight Series. Meet Julia McGovern, owner of Poppyseed Market! www.poppyseedmkt.com Located in Raleigh, NC, Julia opened her business in 2006 after finishing culinary school and wanting to have a place where people could come to for really good food. “Fresh and simple but memorable and satisfying. Memorable, evoking that feeling of bringing you right back to where you were when you first tasted it. Nostalgia so to speak. 18 years later I think we have it down. People come in now and say how they grew up on our chicken salad or that it makes them happy to have one of our grilled pimento cheese sandwiches because it reminds them of their grandmother’s recipe. Same for all our salads we sell in our deli cases. Being born and bred in the south there’s also that thing of southern hospitality which is a dying form of art unfortunately, but we still have it here! We will yes ma’am and no sir you to death. Also, please and thank you, too. It is about treating people with kindness and making your food not just good but memorable.” #WHM #WEAREPBV #CUSTOMERSPOTLIGHT #DEIB

Enabling Ambitious North-West Business Owners Make More Money and Build a Valuable Asset With A Proven 6-Step Process | Coach | Facilitator | Speaker | SSAS Investor | Property Investor
When you're in the food business how can you compete with the supermarkets? How do you design an in store experience that is different for your target customers? These are two of many questions I enjoyed exploring with Mark Dent, co-founder of Knowled Green Creative Tasting, a specialist wine retailer and cheese delicatessen based in Bollington, Cheshire. Mark also reflects his key lessons when moving from a specialist wine expert to a business owning retailer. And for those of you in East Cheshire, what about buying a Christmas hamper this year from a small local shop?!

Get Your People and Processes Firing on All Cylinders! ~ Process Expert ~ Leadership Coach ~ Six Sigma Black Belt ~ Founder and Principal at Executive Lift LLC
Service Excellence - Birthday Edition! “If I told you it was my birthday, could I have extra whipped cream please?” This was my ask a few nights ago - and our server Dylan over-delivered!!! He smiled and said “I’m sure we can do that.” When he delivered my key lime pie, he grinned and said “There’s an extra big dollop on the pie too!” The side ramekin with the decorative swirl, topped with a candle - so much more than I had expected 😀😋 Years ago, the phrase of the moment was to “delight your customers.” Delighted indeed! When your team has an opportunity to over-deliver, at little to no cost to the business (because really, how much does whipped cream cost…) are they empowered to do it, without hesitation? And not just for external customers - their internal customers too? If this were your restaurant, and Dylan worked for you, how do you think he would have responded to my request? If you are anywhere near Bristol PA, check out Jules@market - amazing seafood, superior service, and the best key lime pie anywhere! #customerservice #exceedexpectations #empowerment #leadership #coaching #excellence #executivelift

We kick off 2024 with a new issue of Insider. Now on email to all clients, Issue 5 continues our partnership with the food team at KERB Food led by Charlie Casey. With all the noise around new menu ideas at the start of a year, and the fact that anyone can ‘google’ food trends, we think it’s important that our qual insights are driven by operators who live and breathe innovation. It really brings a unique perspective to Omne clients. A great example is the conversation around ‘small plates’. Some are still touting small plates as being ‘on-trend’ but Insider takes a different view, noting how cost-conscious consumers are starting to push-back; feeling less satisfied and still with a hefty bill at the end of the evening. Insider explores how operators like Leo’s in Clapton and Bistrotheque are focusing on value-generating mains as an alternative and upselling around them. Other breakthrough operators in this issue include POPL, Farmacy and Sunday in Brooklyn and there’s also a review of a resurgent Notting Hill. For anyone interested in earlier issues of Insider, they are now available by emailing info@omne.agency Omne Expertise is Everything #foodservice #future #foodtrends #streetfood #b2bagency

We were recently at one of our favorite restaurants in our neighborhood & I happened to see that fish tacos were a new menu item. 🐟🌮 (I love fish tacos. Anyone else?) 😋 I was pretty excited & I wasn't the only one who felt this way. I overheard another table talking to their server about the fish tacos, how much they loved them & how happy they were to see them on the menu. The server said, "I know, right? We already had all the ingredients because of everything else on the menu, so we thought, why not make these, too?" 🧑🍳 I love this so much because as leaders and business owners, we...accumulate a TON of ingredients. Content. Knowledge. Experiences. Examples. 🤯 It might be time to take a look at all the stuff you have. Dig it out. Examine it. What can you make from what's in your storage closet? How can you look 👀 at everything you have just a little differently, and combine it into something amazing, wonderful & just the kind of thing people are looking for? 😉 What are YOUR fish tacos? 😉 #PerspectiveShift #Ingredients #FishTacos #CreatingSomethingNew
