Good intentions are nice and all, but how do you make sure that you can actually deliver on your ideals for quality, service, and beyond? The answer is systems. Unfortunately many shops are organizationally flying by the seat of their pants and delivering an inconsistent and frustrating experience. A well developed set of processes, lists, and procedures will give consistency to the standards we strive to offer our baristas and guests as well as aid us in developing a culture where people feel confident and cared for.  But how do we create, establish, and refine systems and processes so they serve our shops and people well? That is exactly what we are going to cover today in a pretty thorough examination of the steps needed to make and launch systems in your cafe.  We cover:  Beginning mindsets and assumptions Leaders role Observation and feedback Rules for prioritization  Writing for detail and for realism Training, coaching, and refinement Advice for both the new and existing shop Related episodes you must listen too! 329 : How to Teach Company Values to Your Staff 123 : The 10 Essentials of a Barista Manual 080 : Changing things in the Cafe : A workflow for Refinement 057 : SOP’s FTW!
