My Food Job Rocks!

Ep. 270 - [Malaysia] The Difference Between American and Malaysian Food Companies with Alyssa Eng, Innovation and Improvement Executive at Qra


Listen Later

Today we’re interviewing Alyssa Eng, Innovation and Improvement Executive at Qra, a small but growing startup retail chain store in Malaysia.

I met Alyssa once during my event a long time ago in WeWork Food Labs. It was my going away party to Austin Texas where I spent $2000 dollars on catered food. I didn’t remember at first. Grace told me about Alyssa so I reached out and the memories flooded in.

At the time, Alyssa worked at CCD in California. Phil Saneski and a few of his friends also worked there so it all clicked together. It was so nice to catch up with Alyssa over some delicious Turkish food like 5 minutes from the hotel.

So what’s unique about this interview Alyssa has worked in the United States and she talks about her experience being an intern in the United States

What’s really value about this interview is Alyssa’s transition from Malaysia to The United States to Malaysia again and how the pandemic, which seems like ages ago, affected jobs

QRA is growing fast and Alyssa is along for the ride. After opening 3 stores in a year, Alyssa has jumped into all sorts of job roles over there and talks about the dynamics of working in retail, developing products, and the expectations of working in Malaysia.
