One complete barista résumé, written out in full. The person is invented. The reading and the score come from the product itself.

Volume, quality, queue
Four hundred drinks a day across two machines. Six single origin coffees dialled in a month with extraction logs kept for each. Queue time at peak from seven minutes to four after the order flow changed. Those three cover pace, craft and the thing customers actually notice.
Extraction logs are the detail that separates a speciality barista from a fast one. Keeping a record means the quality is repeatable by somebody else, which is what a shop owner needs on a day when you are not in.
Waste and hygiene are the owner's lines
Milk waste down 27% after the jug routine and prep list changed. Three daily cleaning routines maintained with no hygiene findings across two inspections. Both are boring and both are the reason a shop stays open and profitable.
Training eleven new baristas on the espresso standard and the till is the shift lead line. On a page for a supervisor's job it is the one that makes the case.
Skills for a barista résumé, grouped
Anouk's skills group into coffee, shop and team. Coffee: espresso extraction, milk technique, grinder calibration, brew methods. Shop: waste reduction, cleaning routines, stock ordering, till and payments. Team: shift leading, staff training. A café owner reads the shop group as the lines that protect margin.
Specialty and high-volume cafés value different things, so reorder the groups for the café. Set this up under Skills in the free résumé builder; one list works too.
From café assistant to shift lead
A café assistant's résumé proves pace and care: orders served, tables cleared, rush hours covered. The Frederiksbro roles start there. A barista adds drinks per shift and the quality checks you ran.
A shift lead adds the shop: waste reduced, staff trained, the queue kept short at peak. Waste and hygiene are the owner's lines. The first-job guide helps anyone new to cafés.
How it reads and scores
The import review reads 3 roles, 1 degree, 2 languages and 10 skills before anything reaches the editor. Here the reading found three dated roles with five achievement lines under each, one education entry, ten distinct skills, two languages and the hygiene certificate with its year. The ATS checker scored it 97 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with achievement quality 5 points short and readable volume 3 points short. The second reading is less flattering and says so: the writing check scored 95, which is 91 of the 96 points that applied, and the five it withheld are one check, bullet tense. How our examples are made explains the import review and the scoring behind these figures.
What this example leaves off
No latte art photographs, no roastery name-dropping and no list of every coffee origin served. An owner assumes the craft and reads the waste figure, the queue time and the cleaning record.
Competition placings are kept to one line or left off entirely. They matter inside the trade and mean nothing to a shop deciding who can open on a Saturday, and a page that leads with them has buried the operational evidence underneath.
What to change for your own
Change the format. Speciality shop, high street chain, hotel coffee bar, mobile cart and roastery counter all use this shape with different volumes. Then put in your own drink counts, waste figures, queue times and training.
Keep the hygiene certificate with its year. Keep the cleaning line, because it is the one an owner is quietly checking for. The design gallery holds 37 layouts, and the waiter example, the cabin crew example and the early years example sit beside this one.

- Is Anouk Ferreira-Whitcombe a real barista
- No. She is invented for this page, and so are Havnegade Roasters and Frederiksbro Coffee House. The figures show a shape and describe nobody.
- What does a speciality shop look for
- Volume and consistency. Four hundred drinks a day across two machines says you can work at pace; extraction logs on six coffees a month says you can keep the quality while you do it.
- Is waste reduction worth a line
- It is the strongest commercial line a barista has. Milk waste down 27% after the jug routine changed is a margin improvement from somebody on the bar rather than in an office.
- What did the checker score it
- 97 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with achievement quality 5 points short and readable volume 3 points short. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% for parseability + 100 × 30% for completeness + 92 × 40% for content, on 424 readable words. The writing check scored it 95, which is 91 of the 96 points that applied.
- Should competitions and latte art be mentioned
- If they are real and recent, in one line. They are worth less to a shop owner than queue times and waste, and a page that leads with them is answering a question the owner did not ask.
- Which design is this rendered in
- Minimal, one of the eight layouts in the ATS family and one of the 24 ATS-safe designs out of 37. The page named Compact and argued that coffee shop applications are handed over in person. The document was moved on 2026-09-14 to a layout the measurement backs: each of the eight exports a PDF whose text layer scores exactly what the pasted text scores, on both test documents, in one column, with the reading order kept and no graphics.
Conxfolio is a free set of four career tools: a résumé builder with 37 rendered layouts, an ATS résumé checker that prints its own arithmetic, a cover letter builder that traces every proof paragraph back to the line it came from, and a portfolio builder with 22 authored designs. There is no account to create, nothing is held back for a paid plan, and no language model is used anywhere in the product, so the readers, the score and the letter are deterministic code you can check.
