Everyone switched their jobs to get a feel for the other skills they can learn. Tyson delivered coffee, Blake made the coffee, David washed dishes, and Lizzy ran the cash register. They all did a great job and are learning lots of new skills. Everyone is doing much better at greeting all the customers and becoming more friendly with new people.
We also had a taste test with a couple Starbucks lattes. Our mocha won the first test, but the Starbucks caramel won the other one. This was a good lesson on making a great latte. We will be doing this often to make sure we are staying close to our competition. One thing we know for sure about our coffee shop is that we have VERY competitive prices.
In math class, we figured out we are almost $3.00 cheaper than Starbucks per cup! We were curious to see how much that added up to be all year. After we did the math, it turns out that if someone bought a coffee a day, we could save over $1,000 per year! Wow! That's a LOT of money!
Here's more pictures. It might look like we are goofing around but we sure get the job done.
