Restaurants – Cafés

We love to see how different places operate and meet the people involved, but we also know it’s sometimes hard to get into the classroom. While our space is available for private training sessions for staff teams, we also offer on-site training for cafes and restaurants where we can help with the following:  

 

Staff training

Coffee Menu Design

Troubleshooting

Recruitment

Workspace/Workflow Management

Systems analysis

Coffee Distribution (see our Wholesale page for more)

 

Event Baristas

We love teaching and talking about coffee - along with taking the opportunity to brew it, ourselves!

We have a team of highly skilled and passionate baristas ready to give your event or your customers a taste of the finest. Please contact for more info.

 

Competition Training/Coaching

Barista competitions are a great learning experience and are becoming more and more popular in the Irish Barista community (as well as an excellent barometer for Barista standards).

Deciding to enter can be quite daunting for the newbie, but with our knowledge and experience (we’ve all competed at one time and some are currently national judges for these competitions, too) we aim to help you nail your coffee and presentation to the highest standards.
