Ep 9 - Have solid foundations for sustainable growth with Yanan Zhou & Adam Chen from Oriental TeaHouse and David’s Restaurant.

Oriental Teahouse is an authentic Chinese teahouse re-imagined for modern times. Since its opening in 2003, Oriental Teahouse has built a reputation as Melbourne’s best teahouse, thanks to its tasty selection of handmade dumplings and yum cha, all served alongside a carefully selected range of cocktails and herbal and Chinese teas.

The greater group incorporates 2 Oriental Tea House locations, Zhou Zhou Bar, The dumpling studio, and Davids Restaurant, along, with a tea and teaware range as well a high-quality dumpling range that is sold at Coles Local Australia-wide.

Therefore it is a pleasure to sit down with Yanan Zhou, the General manager and Adam Chou the Operations Manager to talk with us about this amazing family-run business today.

In this podcast we ask the questions:

-How did you start out in the hospitality industry and come to work in the family business? -What the great things are about running and working in a family business?

-You have different verticals in the business like the ‘dumplings at home range’ and selling teaware and tea wholesale, when and why did the brand take this step?

-Why are the foundations important for a business like yours for growth?

-What plans do you have for the brand in the future?
