SHIFT BREAK! The Mindset of Working Clean

from Keys To The Shop : Equipping Coffee Shop Leaders

Having a clean cafe and a clean bar is not just a surface level pursuit. The mindset it takes to keep things clean while busy is a discipline that have far reaching benefits extending to the quality of our products, depth of hospitality, and the health of our relationships behind and across the bar. Today on Shift Break we will be talking about the mindset baristas and owners need to have in order to work clean and how this focus is foundational to the building of a solid coffee shop business.  My hope is you can take this and practice entering into this mindset daily and watch as you and your team or co-workers start to become more calm, productive, effective, and fulfilled in working clean.  Related episodes on the YouTube channel:  SHIFT BREAK: Detail Oriented Staff Starts With You Lessons From "America's Best Coffee House" | Ep 581 Is That Character or Neglect? | Shift Break Series   KEYS TO THE SHOP®  1:1 CONSULTING AND COACHING If you are a cafe owner and want to work one on one with me to bring your shop to its next level and help bring you joy and freedom in the process then email [email protected] OR... book a free call now  https://calendly.com/chrisdeferio/30min    Related Episodes:    505: Maintaining Excellence in the Everyday Work of Coffee Shops w/ Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood SHIFT BREAK!
