Advice for Memorization (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by temporarymaintanence
Sorry I feel so dumb but I’ve been a partner for a few months now and still struggle with memorizing some recipes and terminolgy type things. I only work once or twice a week but I still feel like I should know them by now? I’m a high schooler and very good at academics and that kind of memorization so I don’t know why I stuggle with this so much. I’ve even tried quizlets but those don’t really help enough. Any advice?

In the beginning, i was pretending to take my cat’s order or pretending to train my cat on bar. Saying the recipes out loud is super helpful and if you can’t remember some ingredients, look it up! This was the best way that i memorized

I need help too. Even just a list of recipes I should learn in order, since there are so many. I’m still in my first month so obviously I don’t know it all yet but I have this one SSV who acts so annoyed with me and it makes me so anxious to go to work.
Also academics is different as they don’t give you everything at once, it’s taught in sections. But I feel so dumb at work and everyday is worse, and to top it off the drink code system is extra confusing and just another thing I need to learn.

https://quizlet.com/122685049/starbucks-training-drink-recipes-flash-cards/?i=mil45&x=1jqY < that’s the quizlet that helped me with some of the basics, the only thing is my store for some reason does cold brews differently so I’d check with your trainer on that. I found it easier to learn the frappes and refreshers first and then common hot bar things, and then past that is what I’m still working on. Hope that helps, gl!

For standard recipes I wrote the pumps on my arm like this
H-3,4,5
I-3,4,6
F-2,3,4
The shots are fairly easy
H-1,1,2
I-1,2,3
The teas and coconut drinks are fairly easy since the levels to pour are on the shaker by size.
