What is a common mistake baristas should avoid during rush hours?

During rush hours, effective teamwork is crucial to manage the high volume of orders and ensure efficient service. Ignoring the importance of teamwork can lead to disorganization, slower service, and a negative experience for both customers and staff. When baristas communicate and coordinate their efforts, they can work together more effectively, share tasks, and maintain a steady flow of service. This collaborative approach not only enhances productivity but also helps in managing stress within the team during busy periods, ultimately contributing to a better overall customer experience.

While being overly friendly, neglecting cleanliness, or asking unnecessary questions can lead to some challenges, they do not have the same critical impact on the overall efficiency and effectiveness of service as teamwork does during high-pressure situations. Prioritizing teamwork allows for smoother operations, timely order fulfillment, and a positive atmosphere for both colleagues and customers.
