1) Tips for applying & Hourly wage


  An appearance of women and height of men are regarded quite important when selecting an appropriate person for cafe, since it is a service-sector job. Besides, cafe is not just a place to drink a cup of coffee but it became a kind of cultural icon, so many different kinds of people visit cafe. And it means, worker's impression is also important. As other part-time jobs do, people who live near the working place is more advantageous than others. And in case of barista, they should know how to make a coffee and all side menus. For this reason, owners usually prefer to person who can work longer. Recipes to make a coffee could be a little bit different, depend on the cafe, but almost same. So, people who have worked in similar field are more favorable to be selected as a part-time worker.


2) Work

  First, you should  know what 'barista' means. Barista is a person who choose coffee beans and satisfy the customers with coffee. Barista is an Italian word which means 'a person who makes in the bar', and it is used as a general meaning that calls people who extract coffee beans in Korea.

  Barista should know how to extract espresso and apply it well. Sorting out the best coffee beans, purchasing coffee beans and extra ingredients, storing, etc. Barista is responsible for all these things. They should sample a coffee everyday, so as to make a new and fresh coffee suitable for customer's taste. As the quality of life becoming more wealthy, people started to have lots of interest on barista.

  If you are selected as a part-time worker, maybe you won't make a coffee at first. Firstly, you have to clean the cafe and do the dishes, step by step. Once you're adapted to working, you'll make a simple tea or beverage, and then, COFFEE! It's hard to memorize all the things since there are various kinds of coffee. But you just need to follow the recipe.

** I want to introduce one cafe named 'Benir' which is located in the backgate. One of the reason that I love this cafe is because of its lovely interior. It's so CHARMING! Besides, the taste of the coffee is really good and the price is also not that expensive, compared to big coffee shop such as Starbucks or Cafe Bene :-) Here is the photo of the counter in Benir. Doesn't it look so cu---te? :D
