Barista Vlog Australia (Working in One of The Busiest Cafes in Sydney CBD)

[@jacobkittipol2546]

Was a barista for a time and had that same experience of seeing people wait outside the cafe before it opened (at like 5:30am), sometimes even when it was raining. It's a mostly chill time, even if you're in the midst of rush it can go relatively smoothly if you have enough stock/staff to accommodate. The hard part is dealing with entitled customers, bonus that if you get a bunch of them back to back during rush. I strongly believe that I learned more about life in 6 months of managing a cafe than I did in 4 years of college. Everybody should experience working this type of job at some point in their lives. You have my respect fellow barista!

[@keeptaiwanfree]

thanks for sharing your experience! i’m a current college student and just got hired at starbucks yesterday :) and i chose to go for starbucks because i wanted to gain skills and experiences and grow as a person. not to mention, i also have social anxiety and previously was quite bad at social interaction, so i want this job to push me to practice and help with my anxiety. it will be interesting dealing with entitled customers and i just feel like it will help me become stronger and more vocal. your comment assures me that i will definitely gain a lot from my new job!!

This was me 8-10 years ago. Back then I used to hate getting up so early for my morning shifts but now that I have a regular 9-5 job, it makes me think that the job I did before - opening the cafe by myself and prepping stuff - was sort of therapeutic. :)

From barista to barista, your ethic should be standard in our industry. I used to be a chef before I changed for the better hours (I wake up 4-5am normally anyway) and because during my patisserie cert I was introduced to coffee making, honestly its just as busy as a kitchen without the unnecessary stress and heat. Love how formulaic and organised you work, every order modulated as it should be.

Love these videos 💖 I think they're super helpful for beginners or people who just got hired, to see what the workflow is like and it's basically a visual tour for the service blueprint. Wish more business could have something like to show to their new employees, work would be so much easier, especially the initial training. Keep up the good work!

Its tough times for all. In Melbourne (Australia) we went from over 700+ cases a day to 0. Granted we endured fairly harsh lockdowns for 6 months, we now sit fairly comfortable and appear to be on top of it now. Masks were required and are now loosened with the need for masks only when shopping in tight confines. Wishing you the best of luck, stay strong. It may feel like forever, but things will slowly become normal over time.

[@knittingdoula]

I legit choked up seeing everyone without masks. It's brutal here in America on so many levels.

[@shavenkat]

@@knittingdoula Sydney had it pretty good. Lockdown for around 6 weeks in march then everything slowly started opening up again. Was at the beach on the weekend and you couldnt even tell we were in a pandemic. Until after Christmas, most people didnt wear masks. Felt sorry for the guys in Melb though, they had pretty severe lockdowns.

[@hazelchief-rabbit5903]

@@shavenkat yeah, I'm in Melbourne and as you know we're currently on lockdown no.3. I'm really hoping we reopen this Thursday.

I now realize working at a coffee counter could be a busy job that involves so many tasks.. Preparing the milk, coffee bean, and the machine, then actually brewing the coffee, then test tasting the coffee to make sure they are good enough , then serving customers, then getting money from customers. But I think the most satisfying moment is when you are able to see your customers put a smile on their faces when they are enjoying the coffee you make. Hard work pays back. That's the essence of being a professional barista. I am glad you can provide delicious coffee for you customers before they head for another long day for their work.
