Team Subkit -

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in food and beverage but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Miriana Martinez, Founder and CEO of Healthy & Happy Cafe, located in Miami, FL, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

H&H is not any café shop; it is a well-being bistro. Here we encourage, support, and prioritize a healthy lifestyle. We do this by helping our customers find the perfect balance for their body, mind, and soul with a place full of harmony, books, quotes & healthy food.

Tell us about yourself

I came to study here for a couple of months. It was supposed to be temporary, and then I didn't want to leave and started to question myself, well maybe here is where I am going to build what I've been dreaming of, my Healthy & Happy bistro; I didn't know anyone but I started researching, and here I am after five years of business.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

As restaurant owners know, this business, no matter how small or big, is very challenging, so without consistency & persistence is practically impossible, but I love what I do, and every day it is a challenge to innovate, to provide excellent service to keep our great quality, so my biggest accomplishment is that I do what I love, I love healthy food, customer service, books, music, making coffees & and I put that together at Healthy & Happy.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

Every day is a challenge in the restaurant, so I try to be a good leader. I like to lead by example, so that's sometimes hard, but the hardest I would say is to keep a consistent and good team, as restaurants have a lot of employee rotation.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Trust yourself no matter what.
  2. Always go with your gut.
  3. Always lead by example.
