02 Sep Learning opportunities within a busy home

Posted at 07:37h in Blog by
Rahul Singh, founder and CEO of The Beer Cafe, recalls how a busy childhood home led to a passion for serving.

“I grew up in a home which was constantly teeming with guests, visiting relatives, neighbors and friends. In a bid to help around, I gradually discovered a love for hospitality. The entire camaraderie that was built between family and strangers over cups of steaming tea, good food and great conversations was what led me to start something in the hospitality business.

“Looking back, I can see that serving people with a smile and making them happy in turn was the first catalyst to my entire entrepreneurial journey.”

Working in a restaurant or bar or just helping look after guests at home teaches so many transferable skills. Time management, multi-tasking, objection handling, solution finding and many more.

Is working in hospitality one of the best ways to learn how to think on your feet and serve others? How else could these skills be developed?



  • I am a huge advocate of the entrepreneurial messages and characteristics that you are driving. I think it is a fantastic idea to instil the idea of entrepreneurship into children from a young age. This is a great way to open children up to the idea of not always following conventional paths and giving them the belief and confidence to pursue their own creative business ideas.

  • The Clever Tykes series are such a wonderful way to introduce ‘enterprise’ to children from a young age – I can’t recommend them highly enough, and strongly urge parents to read along with their child as there is no doubt the stories will stimulate lots of questions and interest!

  • I found Walk-it Willow easy to read and full of lovely messages that children can take from it. It touched on taking responsibility, problem solving, admitting mistakes and also the work it takes to run a small business. Willow is entertaining but very human. A lovely story.
