green bean asking about shots and syrups (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by stevebuckyy
lmaoo i'm sure y'all are tired of this question, but i was wondering if anyone could tell me the number of shots & syrups in hot, iced, and frappucinos?

just so i can try to memorize them!

i did a little bit of bar training today and i know that iced drinks get more shots than hot drinks but that's about all i remember,,

hot: 1/1/2/2 shots. 2/3/4/5 pumps of syrup

iced: 1/2/3 shots. 3/4/6/7 pumps of syrup

fraps: espresso fraps get one shot. all coffee fraps 2/3/4 pumps of frap roast. 2/3/4 cold bar pumps or scoops of inclusion, 1/2/2 hot bar pumps

(exceptions: flat whites get an extra shot (and are ristretto), americanos get an extra shot. these go for hot or iced!)

edit: forgot about syrup exceptions! caramel macchiatos, cappuccinos, and drinks made with blonde espresso all get one less pump of syrup :+) also all hot chocolates only get one pump of vanilla no matter what size they are

let me know if you have any more questions dear! best of luck!

I sure I’m forgetting things, getting back into the swing of things myself after this long absence!

Good luck, you got this!

Thank you so much! I didn't know about the sauces at all, and we went over that today so it's cool to learn :0

Most people don’t know about that, so you’re not alone! I only learned about it after a whole year at Starbucks!! :) no matter how long you work at the Bux, we’re ALL always learning new things! Good luck!

If it’s easier, it’s 1 shot for every 8 ounces.

That’s why the venti iced has 3 :)

(Doesn’t apply to americanos and double shots)

They used to have little stickers on cbs with the pumps, idk why that’s not common anymore. I feel bad for all the newer people, there’s so many damn drinks now lol when I started we didn’t have blonde shots. We didn’t have refreshers. Simpler times ~

My trainer actually printed out a cheat sheet containing shots and syrup for hot or iced drinks that she found on partner hub! However, you can only access it via store computer. Hope this helps!

Oh!! I'll try and find that, thank you so much !
