Barista Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last three years honing espresso craft and guest service in busy cafés, where a calm approach and fast, reliable service make all the difference. At peak times I kept ticket times under three minutes and consistently kept waste and grind adjustments to a minimum. I’m applying for [Company Name] because I value steady teams, clean machine operation, and accurate till handling as much as I value great coffee. My day-to-day focuses include espresso beverage prep, milk texturing, and grinder/dose accuracy, plus keeping the service area spotless and compliant with cleaning schedules. I’m comfortable with simple upsell prompts and suggesting bakery items when it fits the guest flow. I’ve become proficient with the standard barista tools and I track inventory during shifts to help minimise waste and keep the setup ready for service. A memorable moment from my time at [Previous Company] was when we reworked the morning line to reduce wait times. I adjusted grind settings and tuned milk texture on the fly, which helped the team improve throughput during the breakfast rush. Customers noticed the improvement and staff morale lifted as we hit a more predictable rhythm without sacrificing quality. I’d be glad to discuss how my routine, practical focus and teamwork can fit [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat at your convenience and can start within a week if needed. Kind regards, [Your Name]
