Idk I think the company sets up trainers to fail. It’s hard to train when you’re always slammed and there is no time to really go over things. Take as much time as you can on each position. If you’re training, focus on that and not everyone on the floor that may need help. I feel like I never had an opportunity for many questions and I only went through making the drinks once and then immediately forgot. Ask the person you’re training whether they learn more hands on or verbally and then accommodate.

my trainer was honestly perfect and so so helpful

when making drinks she would have me make them repeatedly

for the hot beverages she showed me how and would help me practice and then would have me make them a bunch to get them down (when we had time) or if a drink came in she would show me how to make it

this helped A TON

how i did it was one day for hot bar, cold bar, cs, dto & dtr, and oven and reg

she had me practice with real people to make sure i knew what to do in the moment

really the most helpful thing for me was repetition

I used a combination of the Sirens Eye Barista Trainers activity guide and the printed training guide schedule thing that highlights each position and tasks related to those positions. It keeps me organized and with a checklist of things we've covered and things we haven't. You won't ever have time to solely be one on one with your trainee since you'll most likely be busy unless you're both extra people on the floor so just keep in mind that your trainee will have to do a bit of self guided learning. The best things they can do is ask questions and observe :)
