Ep 17: How Great Owners Interview


Listen Later

Most coffee shop owners think hiring problems start when someone quits.

In reality, they start during the interview.

Too many owners either:
❌ Hire too quickly because they're desperate for help.
❌ Ask generic questions that tell them nothing.
❌ Focus on experience instead of character.
❌ Ignore red flags because they need a body on the schedule.

The result?

High turnover.
Constant retraining.
Customer service issues.
And a team that never quite performs at the level you know it could.

In this episode, we break down a practical interviewing process designed specifically for coffee shop and roastery owners.

You'll learn:
☕ What great interview questions actually reveal
☕ How to identify character, coachability, and work ethic
☕ Red flags that should immediately concern you
☕ Why hiring slowly often saves you money
☕ How better interviews lead to stronger culture and lower turnover

Whether you operate one café or multiple locations, improving your interviewing skills may be one of the highest ROI activities in your business.

Listen now and start building a team that makes growth easier instead of harder.
