Meet Jayde: A True Hospitality Heart

Jayde’s journey in hospitality began at just 13 years old, when $5 an hour cash-in-hand felt like a small fortune. But it wasn’t just the money that caught her attention—it was the thrill of creating experiences for others, the energy of the bustling environment, and the joy of making people smile. That spark, fueled by a love for food and service, set the foundation for what would become a lifelong passion.

By 23, Jayde took a bold step and opened her own restaurant, Syd & Phyllis, pouring her heart and soul into every dish, every detail, and every guest interaction. After 7 years of hard work, countless late nights, and creating a beloved space for the community, she made the difficult decision to sell the restaurant and embark on a new chapter in her journey. But the hospitality itch? It never left her—it’s in her blood.

Now, with a wealth of experience under her belt, Jayde continues to chase new dreams, all while staying grounded in the core values of her craft: quality, passion, and service with a smile. Whether she’s curating unforgettable experiences or sharing her knowledge with others, her love for hospitality shines through in everything she does.

When she’s not busy making magic happen in the world of food and service, Jayde enjoys her time with her wife, Cat, and their zoo at home—two dogs, two cats, and a whole lot of love. Together, they’re living proof that when you follow your passion, life can be a little bit wild, a lot of fun, and full of love.
