You may have a drink at a coffee shop near your campus. But have you ever imagined running a school coffee shop all by yourself?
Eli Gutierrez and Isabella Bacciarini are both 17-year-old students in the USA. Along with some other students, they’re seeing what it’s like to work in the coffee business.
The school principal Jack Carr once suggested that being able to serve drinks at a comfortable area would “be great”. So, Gutierrez and his friends came up with the idea of Cafe Vine.
In order to manage the coffee business well, Gutierrez took a one-month online course. After he had learned from professionals, Cafe Vine attracted many customers.
Given the success of the business, Gutierrez realized he needed help at the cafe. So he started teaching skills to other students, who could make up their community service hours by serving coffee.
“I actually run a business,” said Bacciarini, a junior at String Theory High School and manager at Cafe Vine. “Being a girl, We always been told it’s usually a guy who opens a business.”
After becoming the manager and roaster (烘培师) at the cafe, Gutierrez started to use his new skills after school at other coffee shops. And a surprise visit in the spring to Cafe Vine by David Wagaman, president and owner of Capriccio Management, led to another opportunity.
“I said to him, ‘It would be a good idea for you to buy our coffee beans,’” Gulierrez said. Bags of coffee beans from Cafe Vine are now available (可获得的) to buy at all three Capriccio cafes.
While lie’s helping the business in its early stages, Wagaman said he is also benefiting from the school’s coffee start-up.
“It’s helped us find qualified employees,” he said. “It’s not just a job. They feel worthy.”
