Is barista really in short supply?

At the 23rd Shanghai International Hotel Expo, in addition to many coffee and equipment exhibitors, there are many coffee training institutions, such as Wangsen Coffee, which have large-scale booths.

A Hong Kong drama "Cat Shit Mom" has fired the career of baristas. Many young people have set their sights on learning to be baristas. Of course, this is not entirely the charm of a Hong Kong drama, but a group of baristas are really needed in this industry today. Some people say that capital has entered the coffee industry, and coffee shops are desperately expanding in China, which inevitably requires a large number of people who can make coffee. It is understood that Beijing, Shanghai, Qingdao and other large and medium-sized cities, the annual coffee division gap of about 20,000 people, and a skilled coffee monthly salary in tens of thousands of yuan. So it seems like a good career for many young people.

With such personnel demand, there will inevitably be corresponding training institutions. In the 23rd Shanghai International Hotel Expo, in addition to many coffee and equipment exhibitors, there are also many coffee training institutions, such as Wang Sen Coffee, which have large-scale booths. In Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places, the rise of coffee training schools in the past two years is not a few, some cafes are also engaged in coffee training business.

I used to drink coffee in Starbucks stores and observed these young baristas. They were all passionate and full of passion for work. When I asked them why they were so happy to work, their answer was very humorous. They smiled and said,"Because we are paid well." Although it seemed like a joke, it still showed that young people liked this kind of work atmosphere.

But will the barista's job really last forever? Not really. The current coffee industry belongs to the bubble development period, coffee shops continue to expand, but eventually there will still be a survival of the fittest and market saturation, which means that most coffee shops will eventually close down, then, baristas will slowly come out, so this is not a long-term occupation. Unless you are skilled and able to do the job of barista to the extreme, if you only regard it as a job to make a living, it is better not to enter this industry.
