The year 2020 may have left the restaurant industry around the globe devastated, but entrepreneurs Cris & Chie Miranda, and their daughter Rian Miranda, have kept their passion brewing.
They say a good wife brings stability to a man’s life, and Chie has deeply supported Cris as they worked together as a team in fulfilling their shared aspirations for their family. Since jobs for women in Saudi Arabia in the early 1990s were limited to teaching, administrative, and nursing, Chie started working as a Music teacher at international schools initially.
Chie retired as an Administrative Manager from King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre, Saudi Arabia’s highly specialized medical institution engaged in worldwide research and clinical studies. But the family and their team swiftly adapted their company to the new normal. Sadly, they had to cut-down their manpower, and it took them time again to restructure, secure finances, and acquire team members for the modified KAFF. “We need team members who understand that this is a venture built with mutual passion and purpose,” Rian added.
Coffee shops are just as essential as everyone’s hairdressers, and even malls nowadays. No longer are coffee shops a luxury because now they are a social experience, and that is what KAFF embodies.
