Black Sheep Coffee Hourly Pay UK
Since September 2023 Baristas have gotten a £1 raise (April 2024) and 70p raise (April 2025). In this same time Supervisors/Head Baristas have gotten a 15p raise (April 2025). Supervisors/Head Baristas do everything Baristas do and: - Weekly grinder cleaning and maintenance - Batch brew + espresso recipe setting - Stock management (ordering, stock count & reconciliation) - Scheduling (staff sick calls/covers) - Onboarding and training new staff - Assigning and ensuring cleaning duties are completed every day - Monitor and report wastage + investigate problem areas.
All of this requires three months of training. And you’re telling me it only deserves 40p more per hour than a regular barista? How is that fair? Who will even want to be a Supervisor/HB if the raise is that poor?? What an embarrassing company. No wonder the entirety of specialty coffee shits on them. They can keep calling themselves specialty but the quality they produce has gone significantly downhill in the past two years and they don’t help themselves when they treat their employees like machines that can just pull 16h shifts on command.
