Baristas Coffee Reality TV Show in the Works

Well, why not? They’ve done a reality show about everything else – and most people love coffee – so why not go ahead and base a reality TV series around a drive-through coffee chain? Baristas Coffee Company says a reality show is in its “initial stages of production” that will feature their coffee chain.

Mark Teitelman is directing with M&M Productions producing. “The show will be a character-driven, drama-filled adventure and a true soap opera, stated Mark Mayer,” CEO of M&M Productions.

Season 1 will be shot in Seattle. Per the press release, the show will involve the Baristas competing with each other “in a series of challenges to determine who gets the best shift (girls can make up to $500 a day in gratuities) and who gets to live in the opulent Coffee Castle. Every week 35 new girls will audition for spots at the locations that have been vacated by girls who failed to meet the challenges. Along the way we learn about the lives of the girls and the two entrepreneurs who founded Barista’s, Barry and Scott along with the girls supervisors as they try to run the business.”

For those unfamiliar with the coffee chain, the coffee shops all feature girls in “themed evocative costumes each with a very different persona.” The series will ask customers to vote on their favorite girls, and those votes will figure into weekly challenges.

Okay…
