Amie Bailey
Co-Founder and COO
Amie started her hospitality career as a barista with what was then a very provincial company called Peet's Coffee, Tea, & Spices. Over time her role grew to include project management for all new locations opening 30+ stores per year, and helping to grow the company from 8 to 125 locations. Since those early days she has taken a few interesting turns in her career, always striving to find ways to improve the industry from a leadership position.
Along with creating amazing hospitality for guests her goal has always been to create a truly fulfilling employment experience through equitable policy and engaged practice, while also developing every member of every team to become a better professional as a result of their time with her.

You can dive a little deeper into her wild professional path (of which she wouldn't trade a single step) here: @LinkedIn. Get to know her personally here: @Instagram. She is looking forward to working with you.
David Buehrer
Co-founder and CEO
David Buehrer started in coffee on his 16th birthday and never looked back.
He bought a closed-down donut shop at age 19 for $5,000, opened a second one at age 22, and co-founded Greenway Coffee Company alongside sisters Niken and Ecky Prabanto in 2008 which now has six locations under its umbrella.
​
Over the years, he has been involved in opening dozens of concepts alongside some really amazing people. David also co-founded an order ahead platform for independent cafes to ease Covid-era safe, contactless payment- it’s called RDY.
He is shuffled up and ready to play a game of Magic the Gathering with you any time - he calls it “The Brain Gym”.
