5THWAVE - The Business of Coffee and Hospitality

Today, we’re bringing you two live recordings from last year’s European Coffee Symposium, featuring conversations with Joe & The Juice and Hagen. While both are Danish-inspired concepts, each offers a distinct perspective on growth and the customer experience.

Thomas Nørøxe, CEO of Joe & The Juice, shares how the business has built a high-performance culture rooted in energy, ambition and personal development. He also explains how innovation across the brand is guided by four core pillars: health, experience, convenience and sustainability.

Tim Schroeder, CEO and Founder of boutique specialty coffee chain Hagen, shares his philosophy of building an analogue brand in a digital world and why he prioritises human connection and in-store experiences over a reliance on digital technology.
