Australians do it differently, and this certainly applies to Pattaya’s new arrivals in the food and beverage industry, who started their successful chain of value for money restaurants back in 1989. Their Australian General Manager, Michael Chick, has been no less successful and after 10- years with the worldwide MacDonald’s company group, he was the Coffee Club’s Australian National Sales Manager for five years.
The new “Coffee Club’s” Café, Bar & Restaurant has opened in a prime position inside the Second Road entrance of South Pattaya’s “Royal Garden Plaza,” delivering casual western dining at sensible prices, and there are even a variety of Thai dishes for just 89-baht each. However, the flagship of the “Coffee Club,” is their Italian “Exresso” coffees, that they proudly claim as been superior to all others, and their staff undergo intensive “Barista” training programs.
With precise measurement of all ingredients, heating is done to an exact temperature, which is further maintained by heating the coffee cups, so you can enjoy the taste of Pattaya’s best coffee, some top quality food at reasonable prices, plus a very spacious and relaxing environment. There are no hidden service charges or taxes, their Turkish bread is a specialty, and alcoholic drinks are also available. Separate breakfast, lunch and dinner menus are available all day from 8am until 11pm, so here is real service.
General Manager, Michael Chick, states that the “Coffee Club” staff are carefully trained to welcome all guests into their relaxed environment and treat them as friends and family. It was inspirational to hear an elderly English gentleman come up to the manager and say that after three days of dining at the “Coffee Club” he thought that the high quality and reasonable prices were the best that he had experienced. With such a powerful unsolicited recommendation, it seems certain that plans for worldwide expansion into new locations, such as China, India and the Middle East will be highly successful. The Australian management teams are very quick to make improvements and seize opportunities, which comes from their heritage of being a new nation with no fixed dogmas from past centuries, so they continually strive to be the best in all that they do.
