  Your business succeeds when the staff are happy, the customers are cared for, and the coffee tastes great every time.

  Management & Leadership

  Created 7 years ago in Skills & Management / Leadership

  Are you starting a coffee business and need to know how to set up the right leadership structure? Do you have cafes now and want to improve morale, unify the culture of the stores, or build better lines of communication and systems? A cafe, like any business, needs great leadership and strong/caring/consistent management. I have helped many coffee shops, from single unit to multi unit shops, level up their management, solve problems, hire amazing people, and build a great leadership. I can do it for you too!

  in-House Training Systems Development

  Chris Deferio (Founder: Keys to the Shop) • Louisville, KY

  Created 7 years ago in Skills & Management / Coaching

  Every cafe should have a structure for on-boarding and training new baristas. Lets talk about what that looks like for your situation. In my experience a robust in house training program and continued education system is key to employee morale and achieving low turn-over.

  Leadership Communication Strategies / Problem Solving

  Chris Deferio (Founder: Keys to the Shop) • Louisville, KY

  Created 7 years ago in Skills & Management / Leadership

  One of the most sited reasons why people leave a job has to do with terrible communication. Most managers and owners do not realize the importance of communication or how to establish a strong system that takes care of the needs of not only the shops and customers, but the staff who serve them. I can help you troubleshoot and strategize plans to establish better forms of communication that will be the life blood of your store.
