Why is the salary of barista so low? Is it hard to work in a private cafe?

"my ass! There is no 3500! " "reveal humility between the lines!" "I only earn more than a hundred dollars a day, so why can't I say what I want to say?" always ask me, a coffee maker, to supply the guests and give them whatever they want. however! Sometimes it's really. My concubine can't do it. " The above is two days ago, the code clerk wrote an article, "barista: please don't make things difficult for me!" I'm just a worker with a salary of 3500. " And these comments are also the feelings of many friends after they become baristas.

(a spoonful of tears)

After reading this article, a colleague talked to the code clerk about his recent interview with a partner. When asked why he chose to be a barista, the interviewer replied: I like coffee. It's good to be a barista. When asked about the expected salary, the interviewer replied: 3000. (in Guangzhou) people seem to have accepted the problem of low pay for the job of baristas before interviewing baristas, but they still want to be baristas even though 3000 is not enough for daily expenses in big cities. Have you really thought about it before applying for this job?

Do not look at the "barista" profession "harmless" look, and do not think that being a barista can learn what you want to learn, there is a saying that "there will be no pie in the sky". As a recruiter's point of view, I believe that not many people will be willing to spend money to bring people back to work and impart knowledge all the time without asking for anything in return. If the applicant is holding the attitude that I am going to learn something, it is not impossible, but we can't just think that I am here to learn something. Now that you have applied for the job, you should do well that you are a practitioner in the coffee service industry, and you will face all kinds of mass consumers.

Yes, that's right, it's the waiter. There's nothing wrong with this sentence. Do not think that the work of baristas is very easy, and do not be "deceived" by the image of baristas in Japanese and Korean TV dramas. Real baristas are really very busy, especially chain coffee shops. The barista's job is not only to make coffee and lesbian patterns, but also to wash cups, repair faucets, change light bulbs, open sewers, access toilets, transport, carpenters, electricians, and cleaning. There is a saying in the industry: baristas are really versatile and can survive happily without money.

When many friends really become baristas, they will realize: Ah! It turns out that this job is not what I thought! Why can you be so tired? how can those guests be so mean? Yes, this job is really not as simple as people think, just because the threshold is low, people don't take the real job of baristas seriously. More because many people will think from the guest's point of view that the job of baristas is to make coffee and talk about it for a day.

I can't believe you chose to be a barista and treat this job well. Resources are limited, but the way to learn knowledge is unlimited. Don't stay in the stage of "crying for food". You should also find ways to expand your practice / research, read more books, and learn more about coffee. it's not just how to make a cup of coffee ~ it's fake to be a barista, but whether you learn what you want or not, you ultimately have to rely on yourself. Many friends who have been baristas will say after quitting / changing careers: "if you work in a coffee shop, you can't learn anything, but you're tired!" Time diluted all my heat for coffee. " It's not! This is just a plausible excuse for not making progress.

Unwilling to ask for advice with an open mind, unwilling to read books to learn more about coffee, and not listening to a word of criticism is the norm for many baristas. If you want to learn something, but you don't want to pay, how can you get anything? Whether it is work or study, there is something to give, and no one is obliged to teach you anything. If the reason for applying for a barista is because you like to drink coffee, then you don't have to apply for a barista and find a job with a higher salary, and it would be better to go to a coffee shop once in a while for a drink. If it's just because you think the barista's job is easy, you can think about something else directly. There's no need to end up upset and sad. If you just enjoy brewing coffee, then buying a set of utensils and sharing them with friends around you can also improve your brewing skills.

Time is a cost without details, and working aimlessly will only make you poorer and poorer (not specifically the economy). Want to be a barista, but always just want to stand in the bar to live, always just a coffee maker without progress. The coffee industry is not just making coffee, there are a lot of people to look forward to, do not confine this career to the bar.
