Bar Design and Workflow Efficiency, with Selina Viguera

A thoughtfully designed bar can transform the speed, consistency, and hospitality of a café. In this hands-on session, longtime Blue Bottle café leader Selina Viguera will share the principles behind creating efficient workflows that help baristas work smarter—not harder—during both rushes and slower service periods. Drawing from years of experience leading one of Blue Bottle’s flagship cafés, Selina will explore bar layout, station organization, movement patterns, communication, and team coordination. Attendees will learn practical strategies for reducing bottlenecks, improving drink quality and speed, and creating a more seamless experience for both staff and guests. Whether you’re opening a new café, redesigning an existing space, or simply looking to optimize your current setup, this class will provide actionable insights you can put to work immediately.
