Practical Cafe Consulting and Expert Staff Training
Running a cafe is a business, not just a romantic dream. I help you stop the guesswork with real-world consulting, equipment calibration, and rigorous team training.
A successful training session with the team at Greedy's Cafe. We focus on building a confident and skilled crew that can deliver a consistently great coffee experience.
A key part of my cafe audit process involves observing the current workflow to identify areas for improvement. This helps in providing detailed, actionable feedback for better efficiency and quality.
Perfecting the basics is crucial. Here, I'm demonstrating proper tamping technique, a fundamental step in achieving a balanced espresso shot, during a staff training session.
Cafe consulting is about partnership. I work alongside your staff in their own environment to refine processes, improve service, and ensure your brand's vision is executed perfectly in every cup.

About Hands-On Cafe Consulting & Training
Most cafe owners lose money not because of their coffee, but because of inefficient workflow. When I do a site visit, the first thing I check is not just the beans, but your equipment calibration and staff movement. We typically fix your 9-bar pressure profiling and reorganize your bar layout to cut milk and bean wastage by 15% in just a few days.
My consulting approach is simple because the business is tough enough without overcomplicating it. Whether you are launching a new space or trying to salvage an existing one, I focus on the hard metrics.
The Audit Process
If you have an existing cafe, we start with a 3-day audit. I do not look at aesthetics; I look at your machine health, grind settings, and water quality. We look at the 9-bar extraction pressure and adjust your burr settings so your staff stops wasting product. This is where most owners lose their margin—it is a technical fix, not a creative one.
Menu Development
Your menu is your product line. I help you move away from trends to create items that actually make money. We develop 15 to 20 recipes with clear costing sheets, so you know exactly what your gross margin is for every cup sold. We also provide waterproof visual recipe cards, because consistency is what brings customers back, not fancy latte art.
Full Launch Consultancy
If you are starting from scratch, we handle the boring, critical stuff that nobody warns you about. We help with bar flow design to prevent barista collisions, vendor sourcing so you do not overspend, and 10-day staff training to ensure that your team can run the shop when you are not there. We work on-site, standing with your team, to troubleshoot the inevitable chaos of a soft launch.
