SHIFT BREAK! Why Won't My Baristas Engage Customers The Way I Want Them To?!

from Keys To The Shop : Equipping Coffee Shop Leaders

Yeah sure your staff take the customer's order, give them the change, and direct them to the pick up area, but you want more! Trouble is, even though you have talked about it and told them, you don't see a change. What gives?! Today on Shift break we will be talking about the often desired, always vaguely communicated, and angst inducing topic of how to get baristas to meaningfully engage your customers. The goal is to help you take this on as a collaborative project, one in which much of the onus rests first on yourself and then the staff.  Related Episodes:  527: Thoughts on How to Approach Training and Onboarding 018: Hiring, Culture, and the Future of your Shop Motivating Staff Through Culture 291 : What to do if Your Baristas Wont Listen to You   HIRE KTTS CONSULTING AND COACHING!
