Assistant Store Manager

At Starbucks, the Assistant Store Manager is the so-called People Manager, i.e. the person responsible for our partners. Your main task is to build a team, train and motivate, thanks to which the service of guests in the store is at the highest level. As People Manager you strive to hire the best people for the right positions. You recruit partners who spread their smile and convey their positive energy to our guests.

Niko

Hello, I'm Niko and this is my Starbucks story.

I have always loved Starbucks. I loved everything the company stands for: being open to everyone, full of variety, caring about the environment and getting high quality coffee at the same time.

I'm originally from Slovenia, a small but beautiful country (the only country with the word love in its name - sLOVEnia). Unfortunately, we don't have a Starbucks there, so every time I went somewhere abroad, I looked for the first Starbucks and became obsessed with it. When I moved to Germany about three and a half years ago, I knew I had to get a job at Starbucks. It was the first and only job I applied for and luckily for me, I got it.

I started as a barista. I learned to make drinks, talk to our guests, and most importantly, I learned a lot about coffee. My store manager infected me with a passion for coffee; she taught me a lot. At Starbucks, there's always opportunity to grow, so in my second year, I did my Coffee Master. A program where you learn all about coffee, the history, how coffee grows, how it's processed and prepared, what we do for the environment... In the meantime, a lot has happened with my career. When I started my third year with the company, I grew from a Barista to a Key Partner. Now I'm just about to start my journey to Product Manager.

I couldn't be happier to work at a company that values and supports a person's growth. As long as you're ready, you can achieve anything you want.

Tawan

Hello, 

my name is Tawan Buachai. I was born in Thailand and spent half my life in Northern Thailand. Even though we didn't have much, we were never sad about it, but we gave each other smiles and warmth. Thailand used to be called differently - Siam - meaning "land of smiles".  

I have been working at Starbucks since December 2015. What I like most here are the nice employees who come from many different countries. We welcome each other with open arms and the feeling is wonderful. It's the people and my culture that remind me of home again.

Barista’s showcase their latte art skills, create their own signature beverages using ingredients that exist in Starbucks stores and present coffee tasting sessions. Each tasting session may include food pairing, music and any other sensory experience that enhances the coffee experience.

 

Barista Championship 2022

Niko Krhlanko

Hello, my name is Niko. I started as a Barista and am now in the development to Product Manager. With all the knowledge I gained during my time at Starbucks, I knew I could pass the Barista Championship, a Starbucks competition in coffee passion and knowledge. It started at the store level, where I competed against my peers. Then came the district-level competition and finally the National Contest, where I competed against the best German baristas. The contest was so much fun that I repeated it in 2022. I actually managed to win the title of National Winner. But that wasn't all. Next came the finals for the entire EMEA region. I was lucky enough to be invited to the top 10 out of 42 countries and represent Germany.
