I love my Gimme! Barista manual, It has a lot of useful equipment notes, training trouble shooting, and you can keep it on bar for all to see and share.<br />
My favorite part is the equipment section, there is so much value in knowing how to keep our machines clean and running right with less breakdowns and lower repair costs.<br />

Who is your coffee roaster? I would try calling and seeing if they have a training team. Maybe they could work side by side with you to come up with a training plan.<br />

I think you have to tell ya boss how it is "you are paying me for my observation and opinion".<br />
<br />
Field trip is a awsome way to open someones eyes but may not be viewd the best,<br />
<br />

Marilyn is right dont bring up a issue without a solution, then its all time time…

Thanks, I'm really just not sure how i should train 20+ employees that thought they knew what they were doing the whole time. Do I go with buying training material, training each one myself, or getting our supplier to train everyone? (I don't even know our supplier yet, so I hope they offer that.) In the end, I know it comes down to individually holding every barista accountable for their drink-making, but I'm not sure which is the best way to start off for our shops.

you can't gingerly break the news. They need to know and they hire you for this reason, isn't it? esp. when you were acting as dbl agent.<br />
Tell them the truth and go on a field trip with the management to show them some of the top cafes in your area and show them how drinks are properly made.<br />
Once you break the bad news, go with the good news. Your goals, your plans and training program etc that is needed to spiff up the company.<br />

<br />
Since you are the assistant manager, you need to work with the manager in charge and have them work out a training schedule for all the cafes.<br />
<br />
Some costs are necessary and is good investment.<br />
<br />
Hope it all goes well.<br />
