Sequencing is your best friend here. If you can have a third bar, get one. You should have a support member and theyre supposed to make your job easier and quicker so you dont have to move around as much. As for the names, i was pretty scared my first week as well. Mainly bc i wasnt too confident in the drinks i made, and didnt want to get yelled at by angry karens and kevins if they were wrong. But, you learn to overcome this by just doing i over and over. If they bring back a drink, fit it in your line of already sequenced drinks. It took me abt 2 months for me to be really comfortable on bar. Ask for bar time when its slow, and dont be afraid to ask fellow baristas questions. It takes abt 5 seconds to ask a question, and 5 minutes to remake a drink. You got this! I believe in u!
