Jessica Nickson and her husband, Cody, know a thing or two about people skills and thriving under pressure. As former cast members of the CBS reality competition shows
That’s Amore aims to give customers a “luxury Italian coffee experience” through services like its coffee trailer, coffee trike and build-your-own charcuterie cart that can be rented for events. Jessica Nickson says the idea was simply something she wanted to see.. “I currently own a women's e-commerce clothing brand called It’s None of My Business. We held a pop-up last June and we brought a bunch of women in the area together and we did this workout class.
Cody had previously owned both a food truck and a coffee company called Couples Coffee, so the two had a solid foundation on which to build this new business. Time spent in Italy gave them the inspiration they needed to set it apart from the competition. “Seeing the individuals in person was really important,” she says. “Because we're just throwing them in front of a random coffee machine that, chances are, they've never operated before. So we see how they operate in a situation where they're talking to us. They're pitching themselves to us while also trying to learn something right in front of them.”Nickson believes that baristas who can pass her test can handle serving at events like weddings.
