Episode Description
This is episode 5 of a 5-part series with Stitch Coffee founder, Nawar Adra, and Map It Forward Founder, Lee Safar. In this series of The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by Map It Forward, we’re discussing what it takes to expand a coffee business in this economy, and in this final episode we zoom out to look at how the coffee business model itself is changing.
Nawar explains how the work of running a coffee business has shifted from making coffee and cleaning to managing prep, systems, operating procedures, communication platforms, menu engineering, and a much more demanding operational environment. He argues that consumer behavior is changing too, and that understanding human behavior is now just as important as understanding extraction.
Lee and Nawar also explore why Gen Z customers may still come back to espresso and flat whites, why creativity has to be balanced by profitable staples, what venture capital means for the industry, and what China reveals about speed, experimentation, and event culture. The episode closes the series by asking not just how to survive change, but how to build a business that can keep evolving with it.
