Pret A Manger
I learned a lot working at Pret. The store that we worked at was the flagship store, right next to Trafalgar Square. So it was constantly busy. My main job was working as one of the main baristas. I was juggling different coffee orders that were yelled out by at least 3 people on till.
I had to mentally remember the drinks and make them to order and mark them correctly so people with allergies would not get the wrong drink. it was incredibly fast paced and I learned so much. I’m very thankful for the chance that I got working there.
-Worked as main barista preparing hot drinks in a very fast pace environment.
-Worked on till making exact changes and taking customers orders in a happy friendly way.
-Helped move organise and maintain stocks using FIFO.
-Help maintain the property through deep cleaning and checking all air filters lights and other routine checks.
This experience of me working on a farm with such long hours has given me a lot of chances to grow myself. I’ve learned a lot of new skills in the time that I’ve worked here including the importance of working together, hard work and to never give up.
I can remember the first time I tried coffee. I was four years old and my dad gave me a sip of his Tim Hortons ever since then I’ve been interested in the history science and the creation of quality coffee.
I have taught myself everything from the history to the science of coffee and I would like to be one of the worlds best barista and coffee roasters. If you were interested in having someone work for you that truly wants to learn about coffee and wants to be a good barista. I would love to work for you.
