Managing Employees
One of the primary responsibilities of a coffee shop manager is being a boss. You’ll supervise a roster of employees and be the one who handles the hiring, firing, training, scheduling and salaries of your workforce. When employees call in sick, you’ll have to find a replacement. When they make mistakes, you’ll have to correct and teach them. When they deserve a raise, you’ll be the one to give it to them. As a store manager, you’ll discover that you spend more time with your own people than with your customers or products.
