You’ve trained hard to be a barista and are looking for work opportunities in Qatar. With salary data being limited in Doha, what can you expect to be paid as a salary for a Barista role in a specialty coffee shop? Is it worthwhile for you to relocate and start working as a barista in Qatar?
Other than the bit of a star status that baristas get in Qatar which is directly proportional to the skill in Latte art, cafes usually also provide accommodation and transport for their staff.
If you do get selected for the job, you can expect to be paid in the below range:
Barista salary in Qatar: QAR 1600 to QAR 2200
Head barista in Qatar: QAR 2200 to QAR 2800
