Experiencing the Starbucks Experience

Nganter gw ke Gramedia buat beli kado ultah anaknya temen kantor gw, kakak gw malah jadi juga beli buku hasil rekomendasian gw [dengan setengah maksa sih tepatnya].

Buku itu adalah....

Yup!
The Starbucks Experience.

Sebelomnya, gw udah tertarik sama buku ini sejak liat referensinya di suatu situs belanja online [entah itu amazon ato ebay]. Apalagi, buku ini mengulik menejemen kedai kopi yang tersohor dan juga jadi favorit gw menikmati segelas latte [tall, sedikit es, setengah takar gula dan setengah takar susu] kalo dompet lagi tebel.

Gw penasaran dengan gimana sih pendiri Starbucks ini bisa bikin sebuah kedai kopi yang begitu tersohornya dan walaupun harus mengeluarkan selembar kertas biru untuk membeli secangkir kopi, kedai itu jaraaang sekali sepi pengunjung. Kadang, malah gak dapet tempat duduk. Bahkan kedai yang baru tahun lalu nangkring di kota Hujan itu [yang tadinya gw pikir bakal segera tutup kembali], pengunjungnya selalu comes and goes, dan saat weekend, kedai itu akan penuh.

Saat gw mulai membaca halaman pertama buku itu, gw pun mulai menikmati ‘The Starbucks Experience’.

Some makes me wonder. Some makes me jealous at the partners [that’s how they call their employee even the barista]. Some makes me realize that business is not all about [just] making money matters. Some makes me learn how to run a good business [thou I’m not intended to in the next year]. Some makes me learn how to really relate to the employees and customers.
Some even makes me experience the coffee itself.

I must admit [thou I’m not finished yet] that this book is one of a good-recommended book. It’s a good book to learn how to run and manage a good business.
It’s also a good thing to go with a nice latte or caramel macchiato and an enjoyable music.

Sumpah, ini pertama kalinya gw begitu well-blended dengan buku non-fiksi khususnya buku BISNIS [iiihhh].
Pheww....
