Book an In-Person Matcha Program Assessment
$950
đź’¬ I often get asked by cafe owners and operators if I offer consulting, so I've opened a limited number of In-Person Cafe Matcha Program Assessments.
Sometimes the best way to understand what’s happening in your matcha program is to see it in action.
During this private 120-minute onsite assessment, I’ll step behind the bar with you to evaluate your matcha program through the lens of 10+ years of experience in the matcha industry.
Unlike a virtual consultation, an in-person assessment allows me to observe the details that can be difficult to uncover on a call—from how your team prepares each drink to how your station, recipes, tools, training, and workflows come together during service.
What We Can Assess
Depending on your cafe and priorities, we can look at:
🍵 Matcha quality and preparation
🍵 Recipes, ratios, and drink consistency
🍵 Barista technique and execution
🍵 Matcha station setup and workflow
🍵 Batching and service systems
🍵 Equipment and tools
🍵 Storage and handling
🍵 Quality-control practices
🍵 Menu and customer experience
🍵 Training opportunities
🍵 Operational bottlenecks
🍵 Other challenges specific to your matcha program
We’ll identify your highest-impact opportunities and discuss practical recommendations you can begin implementing with your team.
What You’ll Walk Away With
The goal isn’t simply to point out what could be better.
It’s to help you understand what to prioritize, why it matters, and what to do next—so you can spend less time troubleshooting through trial and error and more time building a matcha program that delivers consistently.
Who This Is For
Designed for cafe owners, coffee shop operators, matcha cafes, pop-ups, cafe managers, and hospitality teams that want an experienced outside perspective on their existing or developing matcha program.
This service is not intended for matcha or tea brands, ingredient suppliers, agencies, competitive research, general business mentorship, or individual matcha education.

Looking for more hands-on support?
If you’re building a new matcha program or looking for more comprehensive support improving an existing one, I also take on a limited number of custom café consulting projects.
Depending on your needs, this can include developing and refining recipes, preparation standards, workflows, SOPs, equipment recommendations, training systems, quality-control practices, and other elements tailored specifically to your café and operation.
Custom engagements are scoped and priced individually. Please DM me @julesreyes_ to inquire.
