Cafe Life
Running a café means more than just serving stellar coffee, delicious breakfast, and lazy brunch in a cosy Surry Hills setting. It means managing real human moments—like when someone walks through your doors already having a rough day, or when something doesn’t meet their expectations.
At Dad and the Frog Café, we know that even the best cafes will, from time to time, face complaints. And here’s the truth: while the customer isn’t always right, how you respond is always your responsibility.
Bad Weather Affecting your Trade?
If you run a cafe, you know the feeling — dark skies, rain buckets down, and foot traffic slows to a crawl. As the owner of Dad and the Frog Cafe, a Surry Hills cafe that's seen everything from sunshine rushes to stormy slumps, I get it. Wet weather can mess with your momentum. But here’s something I’ve learned over the years: you can’t change the forecast — but you can choose how your team responds.
