There could be a variety of reasons that 16 is there minimum age. It could be because of the work restrictions that come along with hiring 14, and 15 year olds. Maybe it is the liability risk involved with hiring younger teens.

Remember you will be handling very hot beverages and equipment that produces these beverages. It could also be due to the maturity level that many young people lack until they reach the age of sixteen (not a hard rule, but for the most part).
