Barista Hire

What you're hiring when you hire a barista

The equipment is the easy part. What actually decides how the coffee lands is the person running it.

Anyone can be shown which button to press. A barista worth hiring for an event is doing several things at once: adjusting the grind as the beans and the humidity shift through the day, texturing milk so a latte and a cappuccino are genuinely different drinks, reading how fast the queue is building, and talking to your guests while doing all of it.

That last part matters more at an event than it does in a coffee shop. Your guests are standing in front of the bar with nothing else to do, so the barista becomes part of the experience rather than a service point. Ours are hired as much for how they handle a crowd as for what they can pour.

Our baristas come with the espresso setup — machine, grinder, beans, milk, and every supply — because café-quality drinks need café equipment, and pairing a skilled barista with a pod machine wastes the barista. One booking covers the person and the kit.

What You Get

What our event baristas bring with them

Booking a barista from us is a single arrangement, not a person you then have to equip.

Event-Trained Baristas

Experienced on a bar under pressure, not just behind a counter. They've worked weddings, conferences, and rooms that all arrive at once.

The Equipment Comes Too

Commercial espresso machine, grinder, beans, milk, syrups, cups, and supplies arrive with the barista as one package.

Espresso, Not Just Coffee

Lattes, cappuccinos, americanos, mochas, cold brew, chai, and hot chocolate — each made to order rather than poured from a jug.

Built for Throughput

Roughly 50 to 75 drinks an hour per barista. We staff to your headcount and timeline so the queue never becomes the story.

Guest-Facing Hospitality

Friendly, unhurried, and good with people. Your guests remember how the bar felt as much as what was in the cup.

Setup & Cleanup Handled

They arrive early, set up, serve, break down, and take it all away. Nothing lands back on you or your venue.

Planning

How many baristas do you actually need?

This is the question worth getting right — it decides whether the bar feels relaxed or turns into a bottleneck.

The working number is 50 to 75 drinks per hour from one barista on one machine. That range is wide because drink mix matters: a room ordering mostly americanos moves considerably faster than one ordering oat milk lattes, which need milk textured individually.

So the real question isn't your guest count, it's how much of your guest count wants coffee at the same moment. Two hundred guests across a relaxed three-hour reception is comfortable for one barista. The same two hundred released from a conference session all at once is not — that's a second barista and a second machine, or a queue that becomes the thing people remember.

Weddings usually have natural spread built in, since guests drift to the bar across cocktails and after dinner. Corporate events tend to spike hard against a scheduled break, which is why we ask for your run sheet rather than just a headcount.

Tell us the number, the timeline, and when your breaks fall, and we'll tell you honestly what staffing it needs — including when one barista is genuinely enough.
