Barista resume

What are good example bullet points for a barista?

Good barista bullets show coffee quality, speed, service and teamwork. These are fictional examples to adapt:

  • Example: "Prepared espresso drinks, pour-overs and cold brew in a specialty café serving around 300 customers on weekends."
  • Example: "Dialled in espresso each morning, adjusting grind size and dose to keep taste consistent."
  • Example: "Poured latte art (hearts, rosettas, tulips) consistently on milk drinks."
  • Example: "Took orders and payments on the POS while keeping the queue moving during the morning rush."
  • Example: "Cleaned and backflushed the espresso machine and grinders daily following the café's checklist."
  • Example: "Recommended beans and brew methods to customers, increasing retail bean sales."

Use your own numbers or careful estimates. Pick the four or five bullets that best match the café you are applying to: a specialty café will care most about calibration and brewing, while a busy chain will care most about speed and consistency.
