Demo project · Onboarding for a coffee chain

From first shift to confident barista in one week.

How a coffee chain could onboard new baristas with our training app, shown on our demo brand Bean & Brew: a course built on its recipes, the app on phones, tablets and computers, and one panel for all its cafés.

    Your First Week as a Barista

    Six lessons that take a new hire from your company story to a perfect espresso, in short sessions that fit between shifts.

    1. Welcome to the team2 min

      Who is who, what makes your café yours, what the first week looks like.

    2. Who we are3 min

      Your story, your values and the standard every guest can expect.

    3. Opening your shift4 min

      The opening routine, step by step, so the café is ready before the first guest.

    4. Coffee basics4 min

      Your espresso recipe, reading and fixing a shot, steaming milk and the questions guests ask most.

    5. The difficult guest5 min

      Practise a tough conversation and see where every choice leads.

    6. Final quiz3 min

      A short test, then a certificate with the barista's name and date.

    The app

    Training in their pocket. And on every screen.

    Nothing to download from a store. The app opens from a link or a QR code and goes on the home screen in one tap. Progress follows the person: start on the phone, finish on the computer.

    Try the demo app

    Opens in a new tab. The demo account details are on the sign-in screen.

    Invitation by QR code, e-mail or SMS

    New people get a personal sign-in link: on a printed card with a QR code, by e-mail or by text message. They set a password, and on day one they are ready to learn.

    Clear deadlines

    Everyone sees what to complete and by when, with a clear warning when time is running out.

    Five-minute lessons

    Short enough for a quiet moment between orders or the minutes before a shift.

    Progress saves itself

    Stop mid-lesson and pick up exactly where you left off, on any device.

    Ready for a weak signal

    The app keeps itself on the device, so a poor connection in the back room doesn't stop the learning.

    Certificate at the finish

    Complete the training and download a certificate with your name and the date.

    For managers and HR

    Less time explaining the same things to every new person. More time behind the bar.

    One app, many reasons to open it

    Onboarding new hires

    A new barista knows your recipes and your standards before the end of week one.

    A new menu every season

    A short lesson for every new drink and pastry, on every phone on launch day.

    Hygiene and allergens

    A regular refresher for the whole team, with a record of who completed it.

    The same standard everywhere

    The same espresso and the same service in your first café and your twentieth.

    Seasonal staff

    Summer hires trained before their first shift, without taking your best barista off the bar.

    Proof for audits

    Who completed which training, with dates, ready to export.

    Your version

    Your recipes. Your procedures. Your brand.

    Bean & Brew is our demo brand. We build the same system on the way your cafés work.

    1. Your materials

      Recipes, checklists, service standards. Whatever you already use, even if it lives in someone's head.

    2. Your course

      We write and design the lessons. You approve the script before production starts.

    3. Your app

      Your name, logo and colours on every screen.

    4. Launch

      We load your team and prepare the invitations: printed cards, e-mails or text messages. Your managers get a short walkthrough.

    Already have a learning platform? Every lesson is also a standard SCORM package that works in your LMS.

    Questions

    What café owners ask us

    Do employees need to install anything?

    No. They open the link from their invitation, sent by e-mail or SMS, or scan the QR code on a printed card. Adding the app to the home screen takes one tap, and from then on it opens like any other app.

    Which devices does it work on?

    Phones, tablets and computers: Android, iPhone and iPad, Windows and Mac, in any up-to-date browser. One account works on all of them.

    Can we use the course in our own LMS?

    Yes. Every lesson is a standard SCORM 1.2 package, so it also runs on your existing learning platform.

    Where is our data stored?

    On servers in the European Union. Each client gets a separate installation, so your team's data is never mixed with anyone else's.

    In which languages?

    The demo is in English. Your version can be in the languages your teams speak.

    Can we add our own trainings later?

    Yes. Managers can publish new lessons in the panel, or we prepare them for you, for example for every new menu.
