Baristas enter the bitter history, not everyone can do it!

Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

1. It is easier to be burned by boiling water and steam than to win the lottery.

A pot of good tea is about "boiling tea", and coffee is no exception. Baristas work around the water bar every day, making coffee tools, kettles and electric stoves everywhere, and the environment is no longer comfortable. In addition, baristas have to make at least ten pots of hot water and make more than a hundred cups of coffee every day. If they are not careful, they will be scalded by boiling water and steam. According to an informal survey, 10 baristas and 10 baristas have been scalded by boiling water and steam. There is blood and tears in every cup of coffee.

two。 There are many steps to make coffee, and the guests ask for a basket.

There are many styles of coffee, such as Cappuccino, Espresso and so on. Each type of coffee is made in different ways and there are many steps. Baristas just have to memorize the steps of making coffee, and they can't have less memory, so they really have to admire the barista's head! And now guests always feel that they are bigger than the sky and ask for a basket. Coffee, less sugar and milk may already be trifles. More troublesome requests, such as what to specify, are coming one after another.

3. The goons don't stop, please ask the guests to urge them.

The coffee shop chain pursues "come on!" Beautiful! It takes an average of five minutes to make another cup, and the barista really needs to use a "motorist" to complete all the orders. Especially during the rush hour before going to work in the morning, it is almost a nightmare for baristas. I'm afraid I can't even go to the toilet. The barista has been making coffee all the time, but the most troublesome thing is that the guests are tired of your slow flushing, "urge three and urge four", and tolerate all kinds of guests. The editor must have been angry!

4. get lost! There is a difference between oneself and the water bar.

Experienced baristas will say that you should be enthusiastic in the industry, be enthusiastic when you are a newcomer, have less labor and are not afraid of long working hours. I am not afraid of hard work if I make more than a hundred cups a day, and even cleaning the shop will be a pleasure. But as the days get longer, it is hard to avoid losing your way. As a matter of fact, I work in a water bar every day. Like working in a water bar, the only difference is the name. Baristas sound better.

5. Good drinking is the second, artistic talent should not only taste good coffee, but also have artistic talent, and practice flower drawing all day long.

Guests demand more and more, coffee should not only be good to drink, but also "beautiful"! The flowers on the coffee should be beautiful and more stylish, so as to keep the hearts of the guests. If you want to pull flowers beautifully, you should also have artistic talent in addition to skill. Brute force alone is useless. Of course, those who have artistic talent are happy, but what they don't have is to rely on acquired efforts, to practice pulling flowers after work, to practice pulling flowers after work, and to practice pulling flowers during holidays, so there will only be less private time.

6. Three jobs for a man, waiters and cleaners

The name barista sounds like a great name, but in fact it is a "kick". In the store, all the work is your job, making coffee is only basic, but sometimes you have to take care of the food delivery work, and sometimes the guests have to take care of any dissatisfaction. When you close, you think the day's work is over? Don't dream, there's still a lot of cleaning work to do. It's a real job, but you have to work three jobs.

7. As soon as I saw the sunrise in the morning, the barista was already working.

Wage earners from 9 to 6 may be bored, but at least they are stable enough not to get up too early to work. But baristas have to work early every day in order to meet the peak hours before going to work, starting at about 6 o'clock. While others are still in bed, the barista has to bury himself in his work. I have to go to work at six o'clock, so when do I have to get up? The editor has heard friends share that if you want to work in a coffee shop in Central, you should get up at more than 4 o'clock and take an all-night bus because you live far away. It is not everyone who insists on getting up every morning.

South Korea is based on a group system from school to company, and most people will choose a nearby cafe for more discussion. The environment is elegant, accompanied by a strong cup of coffee, almost spent the afternoon in the cafe. Although the Korean cafe is not very large, the interior decoration is obviously outstanding, which will make customers linger.
