Im starting as a barista soon- any advice? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by blurredspace
So since uni is online, i decided to take a sem off and work. I want to save up some money to travel once the pandemic finally ends. I got the job at starbucks but my manager isnt sure when i can start, probably in may. Now- ive never worked as a barista. I dont even know how to properly froth milk.. i also have add and i was wondering.. is it difficult? I know this might sound dumb but ive never had an actual job before, i did work at an ice cream cafe one summer but i think this is different, right?


Anyway- does anyone have any advice? Like how long did it take you to remember the drinks? To remember the routine? How is it with mistakes? Im in germany btw so idk how different the US is but yea :) im excited for the job, i know, my attitude might change with time but im excited to finally do something after a semester of just sitting at home lol thank you :)

They train you. I would say it takes six months to get fully acclimated with the roles, routines, and recipes .

i didn’t really get trained but now recipes have changed so most of it is 2-3-4 which helps but it is super stressful in the beginning but remember it’s ok to ask questions and not know. there are a bunch of things you need to remember and no one expects you to know it all instantly. I also really recommend to keep it drama free bc have drama with shifts means you are
gonna be on dishes or something and drama with other baristas just makes everything a lot less smooth
