OWNING A CAFE | Barista vlog and workflow as a cafe owner, staff outings and making memories 🎡☕️
Hello and welcome back to another Owning A Cafe vlog 🫶🏼
Owning a small cafe and being a barista is a blend of art, science, and sheer dedication. It’s a role that requires not just a passion for coffee but also a knack for efficiency, especially when working solo. Curating an efficient barista workflow is essential to ensure a smooth operation, particularly during busy periods or when staffing is limited.
When solo, the key is to streamline tasks. This includes organizing the workspace for easy access to ingredients and equipment, preparing ingredients in advance, and prioritizing orders based on complexity and waiting time. Additionally, multitasking becomes crucial, such as steaming milk while shots are pulling to save time without compromising quality.
As summer approaches, the demand for iced drinks increases significantly. This shift in demand necessitates a reevaluation of equipment and workflow. Upgrading to a larger, more efficient sink and other equipment can greatly enhance workflow, allowing for quicker preparation of iced drinks and reducing customer wait times.
One of the most rewarding aspects of owning a cafe is the opportunity to know and work closely with employees. It’s a chance to build a small, tight-knit community within the workplace. Recently, we took our staff on an outing to the county fair, where we bonded over fun activities and created lasting memories. Such outings not only boost morale but also strengthen the bond among team members, fostering a positive work environment.
In conclusion, owning a small cafe and being a barista is a dynamic and rewarding experience. It’s about more than just serving coffee; it’s about creating a welcoming space, curating memorable experiences, and building a community, both with customers and employees alike.

You make me want to open up a coffee shop even more than I already do! I love that you're not only presenting the good sides about being a coffee shop owner, but also let us get a glimpse of the hardships. God bless you and the coffee shop, and much love from Norway

I am loving your videos! Amazing all the hard work that goes into this wonderful place! I have 4 wonderful kiddos and when I get up early and bake muffins for them or something I tend to do it with as little light as possible too. It does feel peaceful.🌿

I’m a comment as I watch girlie haha so I may comment more than once…. I do like frappes but honestly not so much these days. I’m from the south so yes the humidity is insane!!! 😑 I love a good ole iced pumpkin spice latte. Nope I’m not “basic” but that coffee just hits different! It’s 🔥

Hey Shann video is good. Also I suggest you to shoot coffee preparing/food in the full frame & show your cafe full view from time to time in the video that will make viewers to connect more. Use more relatable tags for views

I will definitely try to do that next time!! Thank you! 🤍
Such. Enjoyable blog. Your story about therapist made me think, will it be easier for you as for business owner to sell some kind of package deals? For example I'm going past your coffee shop daily. And maybe I can buy 25 lattes at the beginning of the month for the reduced price and then just use them? Will it make things easier for you as the owner?
yes been waiting for this !

@destrucshann

Hahaha thank you! I have no clue how I do it! Maybe it’s because I love what I do and it doesn’t feel like work?
hey! first of all thaks for the video! Im a boba shop owner in the Netherlands and i gotta say that i really respect your work ethics. I don't work half as hard as you do, maybe thats why your cafe is also much busier than my boba shop haha. Is there any chance you can do a cafe tour in one of your next video?

Did you look into the cafe before buying it? Like how did you know if it was profitable? I’m wondering for myself when I look for my own shop

I worked here as a barista and was blessed to take over! I think that is the best route to take if you want to own your own cafe someday. I would imagine starting from scratch would be extra difficult! 😣
Oh wait, I see what happened. It is easier to follow with either captions or voiceover and matching captions. (Unless I'm imagining this) I enjoy having your videos on alongside while I get ready or eating breakfast.
