Barista Training for Hospitality Businesses

Unlock consistently great coffee, happier customers, and higher profits — with expert training from Iron & Fire.

Why Barista Training Matters

Even great beans need the right hands — and the right systems.

Inconsistent drinks, slow service, and missed upsell opportunities cost hospitality businesses thousands every year.

Our goal is simple: to help your team serve coffee that keeps customers coming back — while making every shift faster, smoother, and more profitable.

Common issues we fix:

Staff unsure how to extract espresso correctly.
Milk steaming wasting £1,000+ per year.
Drinks slowing down service during peak times.

Seasonal specials going unsold because no one mentions them.

ATV rose by 18% (£9.01 → £10.63)
No extra staff needed
Same footfall, more revenue

It wasn’t about learning fancy latte art. It was about making our service sharper, our menu clearer, and our team more confident. The results speak for themselves.

Café Owner

We have been a customer of Iron & Fire since April 2021, their support during the opening of our first coffee shop was second to none. The Brazilian blend is a firm favourite, and since opening we have become known for our quality coffee. We are excited to continue to work with the team at Iron & Fire on our second coffee shop opening this year.
