  • 0:07 - 0:10
    well as you probably know we've got our
  • 0:10 - 0:12
    own in-house training facility here for
  • 0:12 - 0:16
    bursters as many for staff but we and by
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    we I mean our marketing department do
  • 0:18 - 0:20
    open it up to the public too
  • 0:20 - 0:21
    so it can get a bit messy in terms of
  • 0:21 - 0:24
    scheduling if we're hiring someone to go
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    into a barista role we insist on some
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    previous training in experience there's
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    certainly no shortage of applicants but
  • 0:30 - 0:32
    it's company policy that they should
  • 0:32 - 0:34
    know how to make the best coffee with
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    our beans and equipment so all new hires
  • 0:36 - 0:38
    have to attend some training sessions
  • 0:38 - 0:40
    which is where life starts to get
  • 0:40 - 0:43
    complicated first off I have to be
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    notified when a new hire is employed in
  • 0:45 - 0:49
    a burst role of any of our cafes some of
  • 0:49 - 0:50
    the managers are good about letting me
  • 0:50 - 0:52
    know others seem to blot out my
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    existence and just don't communicate at
  • 0:54 - 0:57
    all sometimes I only find out there's
  • 0:57 - 1:00
    someone new when I stopped by a cafe or
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    my regular long black and get something
  • 1:02 - 1:04
    that just isn't up to standard the
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    damage a substandard barista can do to
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    our brand just isn't worth thinking
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    about well the coffee might taste okay
  • 1:11 - 1:12
    but then I notice something really off
  • 1:12 - 1:15
    like a cold taro being served in a flat
  • 1:15 - 1:19
    wake up I've seen some real shockers but
  • 1:19 - 1:23
    where was I oh yes the basic training so
  • 1:23 - 1:25
    assuming a manager has let me know when
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    someone new has been recruited they then
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    get in touch with the new hire to
  • 1:29 - 1:31
    schedule training sometimes you get some
  • 1:31 - 1:34
    real resistance bristles can be a bunch
  • 1:34 - 1:36
    of prima donnas always think you they
  • 1:36 - 1:38
    know it already but if they want to work
  • 1:38 - 1:40
    for Coffee Co they've got to learn to do
  • 1:40 - 1:43
    things our way I try to remember to add
  • 1:43 - 1:44
    their name and the training session
  • 1:44 - 1:46
    scheduled and attended to the
  • 1:46 - 1:47
    spreadsheet but we do get a lot of
  • 1:47 - 1:49
    people through high turnover in this
  • 1:49 - 1:51
    industry and things just get away from
  • 1:51 - 1:54
    me now I think about it I guess it's not
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    just the spreadsheet because I use that
  • 1:56 - 1:58
    calendar thing an Outlook to book the
  • 1:58 - 1:59
    meetings so there's some information in
  • 1:59 - 2:01
    one place and summon another I guess
  • 2:01 - 2:03
    when it comes down to it there's my
  • 2:03 - 2:05
    whiteboard that I rely on most to keep
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    check of wind training sessions are
  • 2:07 - 2:09
    booked there's the master source really
  • 2:09 - 2:10
    which means we have a few issues of
  • 2:10 - 2:12
    marketing trying to schedule public
  • 2:12 - 2:13
    training because they're all based in
  • 2:13 - 2:14
    the office
  • 2:14 - 2:16
    of the road and can't actually see my
  • 2:16 - 2:17
    whiteboard so if I'm out and about
  • 2:17 - 2:20
    there's no easy way of knowing when the
  • 2:20 - 2:22
    speed training slots up oh and I forgot
  • 2:22 - 2:24
    to mention there's another marketing
  • 2:24 - 2:26
    inspired training venture that's
  • 2:26 - 2:29
    complicating my life big time there's
  • 2:29 - 2:31
    bright idea of vlogging training two
  • 2:31 - 2:33
    small independent cafes so we're pushing
  • 2:33 - 2:35
    our beans and smaller equipment at the
  • 2:35 - 2:38
    same time there's a new venture and it's
  • 2:38 - 2:39
    complicating our in-house training
  • 2:39 - 2:41
    scheduling even further
  • 2:41 - 2:45
    marketing sometimes I think I've been
  • 2:45 - 2:46
    not say what I really think about that
  • 2:46 - 2:48
    bunch
  • 2:48 - 2:52
    so all our baristas are required to
  • 2:52 - 2:53
    attend three basic training sessions
  • 2:53 - 2:55
    when they start work with us each of
  • 2:55 - 2:57
    these sessions last two hours so there
  • 2:57 - 2:58
    might not be scheduled on the same day
  • 2:58 - 3:00
    but it should be reasonably close
  • 3:00 - 3:02
    together we have to fit in with the
  • 3:02 - 3:04
    rostering at the home cafe it's a bit of
  • 3:04 - 3:06
    a juggling act to say the least then if
  • 3:06 - 3:08
    they miss a session I must admit I don't
  • 3:08 - 3:09
    always know about it
  • 3:09 - 3:11
    so probably our follow-up isn't as good
  • 3:11 - 3:13
    as it could be but you can't control
  • 3:13 - 3:16
    everything can you it's only after
  • 3:16 - 3:17
    they've completed these three sessions
  • 3:17 - 3:19
    that in theory they're allowed to fly
  • 3:19 - 3:22
    solo and lead the shift it's probably
  • 3:22 - 3:24
    fair to say a few fall through the
  • 3:24 - 3:27
    cracks though there's another aspect to
  • 3:27 - 3:29
    all of this and that I've only been
  • 3:29 - 3:31
    talking about the new staff hired as
  • 3:31 - 3:33
    baristas we've also got the situation
  • 3:33 - 3:35
    when you've got your other non
  • 3:35 - 3:37
    specialist cafe crew runners kitchen
  • 3:37 - 3:40
    hands counter staff etc who perhaps
  • 3:40 - 3:42
    might be drafted in when the breast is a
  • 3:42 - 3:44
    short or hard pressed to keep up with
  • 3:44 - 3:47
    demand if a cafe finds they have someone
  • 3:47 - 3:48
    already on their books who shows promise
  • 3:48 - 3:51
    and being a barista is an art not a
  • 3:51 - 3:52
    science
  • 3:52 - 3:54
    then they'll obviously want to hang on
  • 3:54 - 3:56
    to them in that case we've got to work
  • 3:56 - 3:57
    out a specialized training plan for them
  • 3:57 - 3:59
    so they can build up to full barista
  • 3:59 - 4:02
    status it doesn't happen overnight which
  • 4:02 - 4:03
    means we've got a fair few of these
  • 4:03 - 4:06
    let's call them baby baristas they'll
  • 4:06 - 4:08
    have to be monitored they stand in line
  • 4:08 - 4:10
    to get a pay hike if they make it to a
  • 4:10 - 4:12
    full barista status so it's important to
  • 4:12 - 4:14
    keep tabs on them I've got most of them
  • 4:14 - 4:16
    listed on another spreadsheet somewhere
  • 4:16 - 4:19
    or other I think
  • 4:19 - 4:21
    and of course because these babies are
  • 4:21 - 4:23
    starting from zero they've got a lot
  • 4:23 - 4:24
    more ground to cover first of all
  • 4:24 - 4:26
    they've got to do the basics like a
  • 4:26 - 4:28
    spritzer preparation understanding the
  • 4:28 - 4:30
    different type of milks and how to put
  • 4:30 - 4:32
    the drinks together most people have no
  • 4:32 - 4:33
    idea the effective fat content and milk
  • 4:33 - 4:34
    has on the creamer
  • 4:34 - 4:37
    but regressing again as they either get
  • 4:37 - 4:38
    the hang of grinding tamping and
  • 4:38 - 4:40
    extracting they can move on to the next
  • 4:40 - 4:42
    level of training which covers a greater
  • 4:42 - 4:44
    range of drinks customer service skills
  • 4:44 - 4:47
    and preventative maintenance to know how
  • 4:47 - 4:48
    much we've been missing in these
  • 4:48 - 4:49
    machines and for each of these skills
  • 4:49 - 4:52
    there are exams both Russian and
  • 4:52 - 4:54
    practical we don't do things perhaps
  • 4:54 - 4:58
    here luckily recording the outcome of
  • 4:58 - 5:00
    his exams is one of the easiest parts of
  • 5:00 - 5:03
    my job if I forget and a baby for us to
  • 5:03 - 5:05
    past you can bet your bottom dollar
  • 5:05 - 5:07
    they'll remind me so if they don't
  • 5:07 - 5:09
    remind me and there's no password are
  • 5:09 - 5:11
    recorded on my spreadsheet for them then
  • 5:11 - 5:12
    I know they must have failed
  • 5:12 - 5:15
    there's my foolproof system at least I
  • 5:15 - 0:00
    can feel I've got that part nailed down
