Feb 12, 2015 HKET & iMoney Interview 80後夥榮陽傳人 創另類咖啡工房 80後甘洛基大學主修酒店管理，「在不足20呎的前台站足9小時，空間很小，能接觸的人和事都很有限，但我想大步走出去。」 甘洛基放棄從事了10年的眼鏡品牌工作，創辦咖啡仙峰。他指兩個行業發展軌迹相似，都是先在歐洲成形，再引進香港。且經營品牌同樣是這4招：1.產品質素，決定客人會否翻單。2.對產品熱誠到睡覺都在度蹺。3.盡早建立人脈，請朋友試用並給意見。4.認清品牌賣點和優勢。 甘洛基於是投身眼鏡品牌工作，10年後，他決定再轉行，感受到咖啡熱潮，只考慮了1分鐘，就決定轉行、創業開眼界。現夥拍榮陽咖啡第三代傳人開咖啡工作坊「咖啡仙峰」（Coffee Mountain），主打跨界合作的市場。 甘洛基曾於法國品牌Alain Mikli及中港日合作品牌TonySame任職品牌工作，見證眼鏡由必需品變身潮物。開始思考轉行後，他機緣巧合下認識了一位冠軍級咖啡師，發現咖啡市場潛力無窮。 像接龍一樣，他其後又透過從事咖啡機生意的Landon，認識了香港咖啡老牌榮陽的第三代傳人黃漢升。「第一次見面，我幫他配眼鏡；第二次，他教我用貓屎咖啡配生蠔。」甘洛基笑言：「那些生蠔不過是最平價的貨色，但跟咖啡配搭，卻好吃到不得了。」 甘當配角 為餐飲業造王 他說咖啡傳人還跟他分享了很多咖啡和美食之間的新組合，只是傳人打理的是80年歷史的家族老牌，只能遵循前人作風。因為兩個人都需要一個新舞台，去發展彼此喜歡的咖啡事業，結果兩人夥Landon共投資7位數字創業。 一講到咖啡生意，大多數人只會想到開咖啡店，但甘洛基坦言：「區區一間咖啡店不可能把我困住。」當天他正是因為不甘受困於酒店前台，才放棄酒店工作。最重要是那次「生蠔配咖啡」的體驗實在太難忘！他更由此得到啟發：「用咖啡當配角，助其他食物贏取『金像獎』更有趣。」咖啡可令人的味蕾變得敏感，帶給人不同的飲食感覺和體驗，試出食物精華。他希望這新概念能影響更多餐廳，以至整個咖啡行業。 他的新舞台「咖啡仙峰」，策略是為餐廳商舖的食物食材度身調配咖啡，藉咖啡突出味道，例子當然包括以凍咖啡配生蠔，下月又跟雪糕乳酪店Smile合作，推出另類Gelato，以特別調配的咖啡混雪糕乳酪。 跨界合作，需要不斷試出雙方都滿意的咖啡和食物口味。「我們想幫食肆增加競爭力，咖啡配美食或能助他們突圍而出，甚至將競爭對手的顧客搶過來。」此外他們也做散客生意，「因為味道是由我們工房精心設計出來的，食客試過後可謂『返不到轉頭』，只有我們才能滿足到他。」 咖啡仙峰沒有門店，烘焙咖啡豆等工序現交榮陽位於黃竹坑的大本營進行，省回大筆租金成本之餘，榮陽的儀器設備也是水準保證。「而且我們不用大手入貨，因為咖啡是按不同客戶需要度身調配。」營運成本相對低，加上兄弟班合作，利潤是其次，「其他人會要求生意有3至4成利潤，我們只求有錢賺，哪怕只是賺1元。最重要愈來愈多人認識我們。」 未來數年 市場料增3成 經營品牌，他在眼鏡業有10年經驗，「我曾以一個帶着眼鏡甜睡的嬰孩作為廣告人物，宣傳以舒適為賣點的眼鏡品牌形象，感染力勝過用千金聘明星代言，成功突圍。」由是總結出：「很多企業只會花錢請明星代言，但人們只會記得那個明星，鮮會記得他所代言的是甚麼產品。如何用有限資源，令人留下最深刻印象，才是學問。」 不過眼鏡來到香港依然是眼鏡，如今他卻大膽地想試出咖啡的不同可能性。回想創業首年，一切都是嘗試階段，今年他與拍檔希望跟更多商戶合作，試出更多咖啡美食配，例如以咖啡配西班牙黑毛豬火腿。 甘洛基估計，香港的咖啡市場未來數年至少會增長3成，而且香港人對咖啡的認知仍然有限，給他帶領和改變市場的機會。「就好像一個大海，有幾條河流不知流往何方，而我要開挖一條自己的河，將水引過去。」 http://lifestyle.etnet.com.hk/column/index.php/management/executive/30467
