Hey folks, curious about your thoughts on remote vs. in-house for team growth. My coffee shop tried hiring remote baristas for online orders, but coordinating schedules across time zones was a mess. Switching to in-house staff felt smoother for training. What’s worked for you when scaling up? Remote or in-house, and why?

Saw this thread and had to chime in. I manage a tiny bookstore, and scaling’s always tricky. We’ve stuck with in-house staff because face-to-face training builds trust and keeps things consistent. Tried remote for some marketing stuff, but it felt disconnected—hard to brainstorm over Zoom sometimes. No right or wrong answer, I guess. It depends on the biz. Anyone else find in-person better for creative work, or is remote just as good for you?
I run a small design agency, and we went full remote to scale up fast. It’s great for accessing talent worldwide, but yeah, time zones can be a pain. We’ve gotten better with async tools and clear communication. I found some solid tips on team scaling at https://agileengine.com/staff-augmentation/—helped us avoid chaos. In-house is cool for tight-knit vibes, but remote’s flexibility wins for us. What’s your team size now?
