In general, there is no set format for pricing since every consultation or training session is unique and may cover a number of topics not listed above. The pricing model we usually employ for roasting consult looks like $85/hr or $475 to shadow for a full roast day (8 hours). Barista training is a sliding scale that begins at $450 for a 4 hour session with 4 employees and builds on that if more training is needed, or if more than 4 staff members are added.
