China's coffee industry has maintained a 25 per cent consumption growth rate for many years, which is more than 10 times the world average, and the number of cafes in the country has exceeded 100000. This growth has also caused a shortage of employees, and it is even harder to find good baristas.

Born in 1990, Pang Hui has been in the coffee industry for almost a decade. She is taking part in the National Barista Professional skills Competition in Hainan. Pang Hui said that baristas who have won better rankings in well-known competitions can be said to be hot in the industry. She told reporters that there are many people looking for her to open a coffee shop, and then more and more people will come to her, thinking that the prospect of the industry is really good.

Pang Hui finally chose to open his own coffee shop, which is in good condition at present. According to industry insiders, China's coffee consumption market has grown rapidly in recent years. In 2012, there were only about 30, 000 cafes in China, but by the end of this year, the number is likely to exceed 140000. Not only is the number of cafes soaring, but consumers' demand for coffee taste is also getting higher and higher. Good baristas are in short supply. It is conservatively estimated that there is a shortage of about 40,000 baristas in our country every year. The income gap between different grades of baristas is also widening year by year.

Zhang Yu-en, the referee of the final of the National barista Professional skills Competition, said that the current salary of baristas ranges from 3,000 to 50,000, and 3,000 to 7,000 to 7,000 may be a small staff member of an ordinary store, or a small management class. When you want to reach a salary of 30,000 to 50,000, you must get a certain ranking in the international community, or be recognized in some competitions or well-known activities in China.

According to industry insiders, a good barista should not only understand physics and chemistry, but also master operational management, technical and other skills. However, judging from the current situation of the development of China's coffee industry, baristas lack of employment standards and talent evaluation system in line with the current market development.
