A cup of milk tea multiplayer relay completed
Because I like to drink milk tea, I finally chose the profession of bartender-this is the original intention of the post-95 girl Huang Jingling to enter this industry.
She has been in the business for more than 2 years and is now the duty manager of a well-known brand's Guangzhou regional store.
On average, their team makes thousands of cups of tea together every day.
During peak consumption periods such as holidays, this number will have to go up.
During the Golden Week of November last year, its brand sold about 6 million cups of tea in 588 stores across the country, which is equivalent to an average of more than 10,000 cups of tea sold in each store.
Each cup of drink in the milk tea shop is not completed by one person alone. In order to improve the efficiency of the order, the work of the bartender is subdivided into 15 positions in the service line, the bar line and the back area preparation line, including the initial processing of fruit, Make tea, boil bobo, make smoothies, etc.
Huang Jingling said that every bartender must go through all the positions of study, and finally, depending on his field of expertise, he is assigned to the corresponding job position.
Every position has strict standards.
For example, to cook Bobo, you need to accurately control the cooking time to ensure that the pan is not sticky, not sticky or pasty, and it must not be simmered and lead to rawness in the middle; when making tea, every aspect of the ratio, operation steps, and water temperature cannot be wrong. .
Pour a pack of tea leaves into the pot and pat it gently, without stirring.
Different types of tea have different cooking time, temperature and braising time.
Some teas need to be warmer, and some teas need to cool down.
The initial processing of the fruit seems easy, but it requires great care from the blender to complete it.
The most complicated processing procedure is the grapes. Each grape must be peeled by hand, and the seeds must be removed by hand, and the pulp must be poked into a size of about 0.8 cm in diameter.
The so-called 0.8 cm is a conclusion drawn after countless experiments, no matter how small it is, it will turn into juice.
Many mixologists had to peel three days' worth of grapes in the preparation room when they first started, and their hands were trembling.
A relaxed and lively working atmosphere attracts young people to join
The reporter found that the majority of bartender practitioners are born after 95 to 00.
It is understood that at present, there are more than 10,000 people on duty, with an average age of 23.6 years old.
Huang Jingling said that the people who work together are partners of her own age, and the working atmosphere is relaxed. Although she has to stand for seven or eight hours a day, she is not tired, but feels very fulfilling.
Huang Jingling particularly likes this job "hope to continue to do it".
She feels that her work can bring joy and positive energy to people.
They often attach small cards to their takeout orders, write warm wishes, and pass them to the consumers through a cup of milk tea.
Drinker Wu Ziqi stepped into this industry because of curiosity.
Once he bought milk tea and found that there were a lot of people in line, but the staff at the bar made the tea very quickly and had an atmosphere. I couldn't help wondering what makes these partners happily working here?
With all this curiosity, he participated in the interview and passed smoothly, and since then became a bartender.
He likes the relaxed and lively working atmosphere, and the store will also hold some interactive tea and tea classes from time to time. He especially enjoys the process of sharing tea culture with customers.
Expert: The blender meets the needs of society and the core needs of industry talents
Food industry analyst Zhu Danpeng told reporters that new Chinese milk tea is a very popular category for the new generation in recent years. As the new Chinese milk tea continues to grow, blenders have emerged, which not only meets the needs of the entire society, but also satisfies the needs of the entire society. The core demand for industry talents.
The announcement of the newly added bartenders by the country this time plays a key top-level dividend for the training, enrichment, and upgrading of talents in this new industry, and provides better guidance for professional talents' career planning and development prospects.
Fan Ning, executive director of the Red Meal Brand Research Institute, analyzed that in recent years, the current tea beverages have developed vigorously, catering to the overall trend of consumption upgrading in the domestic consumer market, and becoming a new industry hotspot and growth point.
However, the rapid development has brought about problems such as substandard product hygiene and excessive additives. These problems are inseparable from the role of "people" and urgently require standardized management and rule constraints.
"Bartenders" are officially included in the new professional system, which has a certain promotion effect on the standardization and healthy development of the existing tea drinking track. At the same time, it will also enhance the professional identity and sense of honor of the practitioners of the bartenders, which is helpful. Follow up with the follow-up vocational training system to improve the overall development level of the bartender profession and the entire industry.
Reporter's observation:
The emergence of the new profession of "drinker" means that the clerk of the milk tea shop has received "identity recognition."
It is of great significance for promoting employment and entrepreneurship, leading the reform of vocational education and training, and promoting industrial development.
As bartenders are certified to work and their professional qualities are improved, the new tea industry is bound to become more standardized and standardized, and the public will be more assured of new tea.
The new tea industry has been widely recognized, and its social status will also be improved. This shows that the country and society are paying attention to the new tea industry, which is conducive to the formation of a standard and healthy industry atmosphere, and is conducive to changing people's stereotypes of low-price and low-quality milk tea shops. Impressions will also drive the development of tea, milk, fruits and vegetables industries.
