Recently, coffee shops have mushroomed in Thu Dau Mot town from make-shift to billion-dong-invested ones, creating jobs for coffee bar-tenders who preserve their experience.
Mr. Tam who owns Windows coffee shop in Chanh Nghia, Thu Dau Mot said that his newly open shop not only needs beautiful decoration, music and space but also drink tending. Currently, he hires 4 coffee bar-tenders working in shifts; one of them is expert in preparing coffee drink. They are paid VND 2mln a month.
To make good tastes out of coffee drink, amount of ingredients should be taken into consideration.
Trung Nguyen Coffee is the main material for making up stylish drink. “Making coffee drink is not simple. The tender has to study for 6 months to be familiar with different types of tending,” said Mr. Tam.
Ms. Nguyen Cao Minh Thuy, who works for 39 Coffee Shop on Binh Duong Avenue , tries to conceal her working experience but reveal after recognizing frequent customers. She said that 39 Coffee Shop is one of the place offering good taste of coffee drink thanks to care of the owner. They buy coffee corn and grinds for their own use. And the good taste is dependent on skillful bar-tenders.
However, she said that making coffee drink also depends on the specific tastes of the customers.
Ms. Thuy has worked for 39 Coffee Shop for over a year and is paid VND 1.7mln a month for working hours from 6:30 to 11:00 in the morning and 14:00 to 18:00. Ms. Thuy can live on her salary.
Some other coffee bar-tenders revealed that to make the tastes special, coffee powder should be sullen through one night frost. Besides, according to Mr. T. said that boiling water is also the key.
In our own investigation across coffee shops only bigger shops employ coffee bar-tenders to separately make coffee drink only. And a successful coffee bar-tender is who can make coffee to attract customers for their next revisits.
