As a pared down version of our 5-Day Business + Barista Consulting Workshop, the 2-day workshop is focused more narrowly on menu building and quality control. Existing retailers, managers and key employees learn to increase the quality of the products they serve and new techniques or brew methods to incorporate into their retail businesses, ensuring their continuing success. This workshop is limited to espresso beverages menu and brewed coffee preparation techniques.

The 2-day (14-hour) workshop is equally appropriate for a business owner who is looking to add a specialty coffee component to their existing business (restaurant, bakery, bookstore, nursery, etc.). In addition to menu building, clients learn how to select equipment and which vendors are appropriate for their business model.
