Why invest in training?
-
When your team is properly trained, they gain more than just technical skills – they learn how to dial in espresso, steam milk to perfection, maintain equipment, and deliver exceptional service under pressure. This translates into better coffee quality, faster service, and happier, more loyal customers.
-
Training also helps staff feel confident and empowered in their roles, reducing turnover and creating a positive workplace culture. A well-trained barista can educate and engage customers, upsell drinks, and become an ambassador for your brand.
-
Whether you’re opening a new café or levelling up your existing team, professional training ensures your business stands out in a competitive market. Quality coffee builds trust – and a consistently excellent experience keeps customers coming back.
Pricing
We understand that all businesses have different needs so it doesn’t seem right to have a rigid pricing structure. Example pricing is as below*:
In our experience, ongoing training and regular coaching is where real improvements are made. Most businesses would benefit from a personalised program with regular sessions, for example, a set of 3 sessions over 6 weeks. This allows us to provide better value for money and offer a better rate.
Please get in touch to discuss the needs of your cafe or business.
*Pricing varies based on factors such as number of trainees, location, day and time. Contact us directly to discuss your requirements and for an accurate quote.
FAQs
“What if we don’t have the budget right now?”
Return on investment: Trained staff waste less coffee, work more efficiently, and improve customer experience, leading to higher sales and repeat business.
We have flexible options: shorter sessions, group training, or spreading training across multiple visits.
Suggest phased training: start with a smaller focus (e.g. consistency and workflow) and build from there.
“How will we fit it into our busy service times?”
Training actually saves time long-term through smoother workflow, faster service and fewer mistakes.
Flexible scheduling: before opening, after closing or splitting training into short modules.
Team-building: staff feeling invested in could lead to boosted morale and retention, reducing the time and cost of recruiting/retraining later.
“We already get free training from our coffee supplier.”
That’s great - supplier training is a fantastic foundation. What I offer goes beyond the basics: more time with your team, tailored sessions for your specific café setup, and a focus on consistency, workflow, and customer service that supplier training often doesn’t cover
Supplier training is often limited in frequency. My training is ongoing and can adapt as your team changes or develops. That way, your staff don’t just learn once but continue to improve.
