From the Inside….

When you're looking into buying a franchise you want to know everything about the business you are investing in. It's not just the costs; it's also the company itself. Does the company and the people who you are investing in match what you are searching for. As a member of the tumble & tea café team I wanted to take this chance to lay out the nitty-gritty about what it is really like to be a part of the company and to work for our CEO, Georgina DeCarlo.

As the youngest member of the team, I came in thinking there was going to be a great deal of the "corporate" feel. You know a company where the CEO seems to suffer from a "God-like" complex and employees are reminded daily of just who exactly is in charge. The polar opposite could not be truer. Working with Gina one almost instantaneously forgets she is the boss. She has a natural ease with how she deals with people one-on-one, and it's when you see her coolly handle any situation that you are reminded why she is in charge.

For someone who has built this company from nothing, it amazes me how grounded Gina is. Employees become friends, and friends become family. Work is just as important as whom you work with, and I can testify to loving who I work with just as much as loving my work! It's the same across the board with everyone in tumble & tea café. We work hard, pouring hours into creating the best tumble & tea café franchise program, and striving to make tumble & tea café a household name; but we also know the importance of staying sane after a long days work is rewarded over margaritas and love-life gossip.

In the end I can't sum up things better than by simply stating how lucky and blessed I feel to be part of something like tumble & tea café. The café itself is such a groundbreaking concept and the team is made up of so many smart people gifted in their perspective fields. I love my job, I love Gina, I love everyone who is a part of the team, and I LOVE TUMBLE & TEA CAFÉ.
