As a way of empowering staff and celebrating their restaurant, Wimpy recently hosted its top 20 best baristas and their managers for a weekend away Barista competition. The competition is on its 4th installment and took place last week at the Goo Moremi Gorge.

The top 20 baristas from across all branches went head-to-head and they were only given five minutes to prepare and serve their masterpieces to three independent Judges.

The 10 stores were represented by one manager and barista each. The branches included Game city, Western Bypass, Riverwalk, CBD, Airport Junction, Maun, Palapye, Mahalapye, Francistown and Orapa.
