The critical Head of Coffee role
About this episode
On the podcast this week we're exploring the Head of Coffee role in different hospitality businesses and the crucial function it plays in delivering the perfect coffee experience.
In conversations with Ryan Garrick, Head of Coffee, WatchHouse, Christopher Jordan, Group Head of Coffee Caffè Nero, Jennifer Salamone, VP of Operations and Antonia Petaccio, Head of Coffee Training DC, at Tatte Bakery, we unpack the broad set of responsibilities that fall under the Head of Coffee role, from leading the sourcing and roasting to barista training and managing external partners. We also discuss the career progression to become Head of Coffee, share advice for baristas looking to take the next step up and find out what it takes to succeed.
