In this episode I chat with Emma Tarbert, General Manager of Hatch Coffee, to explore her inspiring journey from the kitchen to the coffee bar. Emma shares how a move to Australia sparked her passion for coffee and how that experience shaped her approach to building a vibrant community hub back home in Ireland.
From sourcing local ingredients and supporting Irish food to navigating the challenges of COVID-19, Emma offers honest reflections on leadership, staff training, and the human heart of hospitality. She discusses why great customer service, strong team culture, and genuine connection are at the core of Hatch’s success — and why paying people well isn’t just good business, it’s good values.
Tune in for an uplifting conversation about purpose, people, and the power of coffee.
