As a café owner, we understand that you have countless responsibilities and a million things on your mind: orders, payroll, staff, equipment – the list never ends.
But take a moment, to reflect on something that might change the way you manage your business forever:
How well do you know what’s happening in your café?
Being at your business all day is nearly impossible with so many other responsibilities needing your attention. But even if you’re there most of the time, do you really know what’s happening when you’re not?
For example:
- Are your supplies being handled correctly?
- Is your staff properly cleaning the coffee machine?
- Are your baristas sticking to the exact recipes to ensure high-quality coffee?
Running a café involves many tasks, but three key areas are crucial to its success. You need to have complete control over these areas:
Your Staff – How Well Do You Know Them?
And we don’t just mean knowing that they’re good people. That’s not enough. The most important thing is to know that their work habits (whether you’re there or not) align with the needs and philosophy of your café.
For example, does your barista sometimes “forget” to clean the equipment? Is there excessive waste of supplies?
Most importantly, do you have a way to monitor all these aspects?
Quality Control – If You Can Do Better, Why Not Do It?
When you started your business, one of your main goals was to serve the best quality and tasting coffee.
So, you invested in excellent coffee beans, top-notch equipment, and hired the best barista you could find.
You made the right choice! But you know better than anyone that maintaining top coffee quality requires everything to be done correctly every single day.
The barista’s role is crucial here. Are they consistent with extraction times? Do they clean the coffee machine properly and frequently enough to maintain the coffee’s taste?
Equipment – The Treasure of Your Business
The equipment you purchased for your café is likely your biggest and most important investment. It’s a valuable asset in your business.
It not only determines the quality of your coffee—and thus customer satisfaction—but it was also a significant expense. You need to ensure it’s efficient and long-lasting.
How can you make sure it lasts? Proper cleaning is crucial, as we mentioned earlier.
This will extend the lifespan of your equipment and help you avoid unnecessary repair costs or, even worse, replacement costs.
Additionally, don’t neglect regular maintenance of the coffee machine. Perform it exactly when needed, before scale, coffee oils, and other factors start to cause damage.
How Can You Always Know What’s Happening in Your Café?
Reading about everything that happens—or doesn’t happen—daily in your business might stress you out, especially since you’re always busy trying to ensure its success.
The truth is, no matter how much free time and effort you put in, some things can still slip through the cracks.
This is where technology can come to your rescue. It can actually become your right-hand assistant.
