Barista

Barista communication

Also known as service communication · comunicación en barra · bar callouts

What it is and what sets it apart: Prevents wrong drinks better than any gadget. Differs from silent “speed”.

At the bar: Repeat mods → call “behind/hot” → flag delays → confirm remakes with empathy.

Impact on the drink: Impact: less waste, better experience and aligned team (also in service exams).

Technical notes: Short internal glossary. Eye contact at peak.

Common mistakes: Assuming others heard. Shouting without info. Hiding mistakes.
