What Makes a Successful Cafe Post Covid-19

18 Mar 2022

Restaurant and cafe owners across the United Kingdom can’t be blamed for feeling a little sweaty about the state of business right now. Covid-19 has had a harsh and tangible impact on many industries, but most can’t deny the hospitality industry has taken a blow. When thinking about what makes a successful cafe post-Covid-19, the team at Need a Barista have considered what we believe to be most important. Implementing these factors might just set your business aside from the rest, when it really counts. Take a look below:

Having staff available on demand

Having baristas, kitchen hands, and waitstaff available when you need them is critical in operating smoothly in the post-coronavirus economy. Need a Barista pride ourselves on our strong relationships with cafes across the UK. We connect freelance baristas in need of work to restaurants who need that shift filled- STAT. Alleviating the stress of filling a roster full of holes is what we excel at.

Introducing take-away & delivery options

Delivery apps such as Just Eat, Deliveroo, and UberEats have made their mark on the UK public during the pandemic, and they’re here to stay. Your customers are more hesitant than ever to venture into public spaces- why not make it easy for them to enjoy your food and coffee at home using these delivery partners. Most can be easily set up, and enable more platforms for your customers to find you.

Upholding health & safety measures

An obvious but extremely important one here. If you’re going to even think about starting, buying or operating a cafe in the midst of a global pandemic, you’ll want to take your hygiene very seriously. This goes further than simply wiping down each table, or wearing a mask. Ensure every staff member is appropriately trained on proper health and safety measures. Not only do you help reduce the spread of coronavirus, you’ll look more trustworthy in the eyes of your customers, too. Win, win!

Book a barista on demand

Just tell us where your cafe is, and we can provide skilled, willing baristas to fill shifts whenever you need them. Advertise your permanent job ads on our job board. Hire a barista, chef, front of house or kitchen hand. Sign up with Need a Barista to get started and find your dream barista today.
