246 Zhou Xianhao's "Ambition"
(Thanks to my friend on the other side of the fireworks, this shore lantern spot monthly pass encouragement)
"Third brother, how do you arrange it today?"
After waking up at Zhou Xianhao's house, Zhou Xianhao asked.
"Why do you wake up so early? You used to be the most lazy sleeper. Lao Liu asked curiously.
"Third brother, I'll tell you nothing, I didn't sleep well last night. Zhou Xianhao said with a wry smile.
"I woke up at three o'clock in the middle of the night, and then I was thinking about our café. I wasn't such a person before, where was the kind of person who couldn't pretend to be in his heart. ”
"Haha, that proves you're serious. The last time this time was when you graduated from college, you were thinking about finding a job or doing it yourself, right?" asked Lao Liu after sitting down.
Zhou Xianhao nodded, "Isn't it?" I just came to the provincial capital and wanted to find a job here, and then I saw that the intermediary seemed to be quite profitable. In fact, if you hadn't supported me at that time and took out all the settling-in expenses to help me, I really don't know what would have happened now. ”
"I don't even need it, let's talk about it, you must have figured out some ideas. Lao Liu said.
"Third brother, don't say it, I've figured out some ways. Zhou Xianhao said with great interest.
"I checked the information for half a night, and I found that the job of barista is too different. Basically, it has a low threshold and is easy to enter the industry, but it is too difficult to really show results. ”
"Actually, I didn't really take it seriously in the beginning. I think it's similar to looking for a cook in a restaurant, and you can find it when you spend money, but it's not like that at all. ”
"They are all baristas, with a salary of three or four thousand a month, and a salary of tens of thousands a month. Three or four thousand are all over the place, and as long as you put up an advertisement, someone will sign up. Tens of thousands of dollars, even if you give people money, people may not be willing to come. ”
"Because people like that have to win national and international competitions, people don't necessarily want to play with you. Is it better to open your own café? Or to go to a big coffee company and be a manager, that would be easier. So this seemingly simple thing to spend money on hiring people is actually the most difficult thing for us to open a store. ”
Liu Wenrui nodded, grinning bitterly, "That's really the case." Good barista, where is it so easy to find. ”
"A good cup of coffee is too demanding in all aspects. A good barista is almost the same as giving coffee beans a third life. ”
"For the first life, I have to talk about the coffee tree. The second time is baking. The third time is the barista who makes the coffee. I thought that my hand-brewing method was already good, but after watching Ms. Du make coffee, I was embarrassed to say that I could also brew it. ”
"The shape of the bowl, the material of the filter paper, the size of the spout, the way the water flows, the choice of water quality...... There are too many influencing factors. Even if the espresso looks simple, put it in the machine and forget it. That's just for us laymen. ”
"Grinding, powdering, extraction, three simple steps. You have to think about how you pre-soak, how much pressure you use, and how fast the water flows. Actually, I now think that a good barista is at least half a chemist. ”
"Third brother, although I can't be as detailed as you say, but that's pretty much what it means. So I thought, aren't you going to go over and watch that coffee contest, and you think you can dig up a barista over there?"
Lao Liu rolled his eyes, "That's a world-level competition, even if it's once a year, it's the top baristas from various countries who used to participate." There are only six people who can really get the ranking, and even if they are willing to agree, how much will that salary cost? I estimate that it will be at least 100,000 yuan a month. ”
"Third brother, don't worry, who said to stare at such a person. Aren't there any who will be defeated, let's pick up the leaks. Zhou Xianhao said with a smile.
"The domestic barista system should have started relatively slowly, that is, it has only become popular in recent years. If you can really recruit a foreign barista, tsk, our store will be tall in no time. Anyway, you're going to go over too, cuddling the grass and beating the rabbit, it's all a piggybacking thing. ”
"And I think you can look for more. If they feel that they have potential, they will solve the housing problem and give them a high salary, and I don't think it's anything. ”
"Eh, what's wrong? Fourth, you must be thinking about something else. Liu Wenrui frowned.
"Hehe, third brother, you said that if our coffee shop can train baristas who have won good rankings, does that fame have to jump up like a rocket?" Zhou Xianhao said with a smile.
"Originally, our coffee shop was just to play and earn some pocket money. After talking to my second brother in the store yesterday, I had such a small ambition. ”
"And I read the information, every barista really wants to reach the level of a master, if you don't have financial support, you can't play at all. ”
"Let's just say that this coffee bean, the average barista is even a salary of 4,000 yuan a month. Without food, drink, and clothing, how much money will he have left to buy coffee beans?"
"It's good to come to us, we can provide it for him. Let him brew coffee happily and it's over, you say such conditions, isn't it very attractive?"
"In the future, we will open another branch, and each store will have a master barista in charge. We don't learn from their chain stores, we play well. Regardless of the number of stores, let's only look at the level of the store. ”
"Maybe in the future, we can all open coffee to the United States and Italy, who can say for sure. Hahaha, the more I think about it, the happier I get. ”
Zhou Xianhao talked to himself for a long time, and said to Comrade Liu in a daze.
At first hearing, Zhou Xianhao's little ambition is not a breed, but a fantasy. But what do you think about? This seems to be a real way to do it.
Although there are many factors that affect coffee throughout the brewing process. But the most basic thing is the coffee beans, and only good beans can make good coffee. Otherwise, no matter how good your craftsmanship is, it will be blind.
The first two processes of coffee, whether it is coffee beans or roasting, seem to be able to give strong support with the help of the power of the mask. Then all that's left is the barista's talent and craftsmanship.
"Fourth, I'm a little tempted by you. But in this matter, our investment in the early stage will be relatively large, can we hold it?"
After thinking for a while, Liu Wenrui asked.
"Third brother, it depends on what you think. Zhou Xianhao said.
"The matter of the empty glove white wolf can not be found now. Whatever you want to do, you have to give. Just like the broker training I intermediate, many of them are recent college graduates who don't know anything about this industry. ”
"The old brings the new, the unified lectures, and slowly they are all brought out. It's just that master baristas are not so easy to train. ”
"Let's make up for the loss, right? Otherwise, ordinary small coffee shops don't have enough selling points, and they may not be able to do those chain coffee shops. ”
"It's like eating in a restaurant, but many people can't taste the difference between each dish. The standard of more people's judgment is actually to follow the crowd. ”
"Why have Internet celebrity stores risen so quickly in the past two years? It's not because of its high popularity, and after the bad food has passed, it has to be said that it is delicious. ”
"Of course, we can't do such foolish things. But after we have our own characteristics, it is also an advertising effect for customer recruitment, right?"
Liu Wenrui nodded, "That's the case, you can really think about it." When we visit the second brother's house today, let's touch this matter with him again. ”
"Third brother, there's no need. Don't you know what kind of way the second brother does things?" Zhou Xianhao said with a smile.
Liu Wenrui was happy, and Zhou Xianhao said it well. is a good second brother in his own house, but he doesn't like to worry about it. As for his small antique shop, it was opened for three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.
It's just that their business is also a little special, and they pay attention to "not opening for three years, opening for three years". In the past, he was also running around, digging for old things. Or buy some high-end raw materials by yourself and sell your own beads.
"Daddy, it stinks. The hairy hair stinks. ”
At this time, Xiao Miaomiao ran out of the room, pinched her little nose and said.
"You stink, don't you?"
Lao Liu took her into his arms.
The little milk cat also ran out of the room at this time, and after looking at it, he ran directly to Lao Liu. Grabbing his pants, he climbed straight up his legs. Then the calves were crossed, and the throat was snoring again.
"Third brother, fifteen today, have you taken Miao Miao to my house with me?" Zhou Xianhao asked.
"No, I'll visit both of you in the morning, and then I'll go home. My parents still want Miao Miao, and I estimate that I will have to stay in China for a few more days before I can leave. And this little thing, I don't know what procedures to go through. ”
"That's fine, then let's not waste time. Eat early, go to the second brother's house first. Go back to my house for lunch, and then I'll send you and Miao Miao back. Zhou Xianhao said.
"Then there's the one I just mentioned, and you have to take it to heart. For this industry, you still know the most among the four of us. So when it comes to hiring baristas, you have to worry a lot about it. ”
"I was under a lot of pressure all of a sudden, and I thought that just providing you with coffee beans would be enough. Lao Liu said with a wry smile.
"By the way, let's take care of the agent's matter today. Find a lawyer and be fair, and you'll be fine, right?"
"Almost, but there's no hurry. Let's go, eat first and go early. Zhou Xianhao said.
"Daddy, Daddy, can you bring Purr to eat with you?"
Seeing that she was about to set off, Xiao Miaomiao was a little anxious.
Lao Liu glanced at the little orange cat that was still "purring" on his legs, and could only nod.
The girl's name is fast, but it doesn't seem to have any routines.
