Sara, a talented entrepreneur, took her passion for coffee and dessert to new heights after attending my coffee shop course. Her vision for a unique gelato shop, Hooray’s Gelato, was brought to life in the charming town of Stratford-upon-Avon.

After a successful opening, Sara also asked me to conduct a basic barista course, to train assess her team. The training consisted of:

• Know Your Espresso : Understanding the differences between Arabica and Robusta beans, and their impact on flavour profiles.
• Machine Usage: Proper startup procedures, maintenance techniques, and the art of extracting a perfect espresso shot.
• Milk Texturing Techniques: Mastering the skill of creating velvety microfoam milk, essential for crafting exceptional lattes and cappuccinos.
• Knowing Your Menu: Learning how to prepare a variety of espresso-based drinks, including flat whites, lattes, and cappuccinos.
• Ingredient Storage: Proper storage techniques for milk and coffee beans to maintain freshness and quality.
• End-of-Day Cleaning: Essential cleaning procedures to ensure optimal machine performance and hygiene.

Hooray’s Gelato offers a delightful fusion of British tradition and international flavours. Customers can indulge in a wide range of delectable treats.

Hooray’s Gelato has quickly become a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, offering a delightful experience for all ages. Sara’s success story is a testament to the power of passion, hard work, and the knowledge gained from my coffee shop course.
