On this episode, I have an illuminating conversation with Eileen Andrade, Restaurant Owner at FINKA Table & Tap, who also owns several other outstanding Miami restaurants.


Eileen is part of a hospitality dynasty — her family have been restaurant owners in Cuba and the United States going back multiple generations. That history means she’s witnessed almost everything the restaurant world can offer and it’s made her creative in her approach to food service.


She tries to cultivate a similar creativity in her team through open communication and regular check-ins. She creates an environment where employees feel empowered to bring ideas forward and aren’t discouraged if their ideas aren’t always implemented.


In a culture that encourages new ideas, Eileen and her team manage to stay on the leading edge of the Miami food scene. Every day offers a new and exciting restaurant experience for her staff and her guests.
