Beverage R&D Barista

JOUD Coffee

Prototype & formulate: Create new iced lattes, matcha drinks, smoothies, frapp s, cold foams, refreshers, and seasonal drops using real bar gear (espresso machine, grinders, blender, shaker).

Standardize & document: Lock recipes (grams/ml/ice, build order, garnish). Write clear SOP cards and quick how-to clips that any barista can follow.

Batching & prep: Develop house syrups/pur es/bases; specify yields, par levels, storage/rotation, and simple caf handling ( 60 90s builds).

Taste-first validation: Run staff/guest tastings, gather feedback, iterate fast, and finalize only when flavor + look hit the mark.

Cost & feasibility: Keep flavors high while staying within given cost targets; suggest smart swaps without food-science complexity.

Handover to caf s: Train bar leads on new items; support first weeks of rollout and troubleshoot.

Trend scouting: Track regional/global beverage trends (matcha grades, alt-milks, texture, layered visuals) and pitch monthly concepts.
