There’s a barista training binder/ handbook that you should have. It has everything and even a progress chart for your new bean. You can use that as a guide to make sure you’re cover everything. When I train, honestly I don’t go by the book about useless stuff. I make sure to focus on stuff that actually matter so they don’t feel so lost when they start alone!

Honestly, get a small notebook and take notes. It’s a LOT to remember coming at you at once and that will help so much.

As a green bean myself here’s some things i noticed that helped

• ⁠going over the amount of syrups need in drinks multiple times

• ⁠going over register multiples (i was overwhelmed with all the buttons)

• ⁠make sure to let them know everyone moves the urns in a different order so always double check

• ⁠please please please teach them how to get sandwiches out of the oven, the amount of times i dropped sandwiches my first day by myself from not grabbing them correctly with the tongs

• ⁠make sure they know that the chai tea lattes are under teas bc i freaked out not knowing
• ⁠hobart hobart hobart!!

• ⁠dating things, i always forget when things are dated bc we didn’t go over that enough

• ⁠I know this already in the books but make sure you teach them to put the rings in the whip cans!

• ⁠if you know they are going to be an open or closer show them the task card and kinda show them
examples bc my first day opening i was clueless!!

• ⁠The funnel cake traps, i know they are new to everyone but drill that into their head

• ⁠and one of my favorite things my trainer did for me was give me a “break” it wasn’t an actual break, it was to go over things, try to take everything in, and review what i just learned! -TEACH THEM SMALLWARES!! I just learned what is was today so dor the past few shifts it wasn’t done bc no one would teach me 😐

— this is just my personal notices when being trained a month ago, everyone learns at a different pace and what i was trained with made me feel comfortable but i would of liked to been more prepared! You don’t have to take any of these tips but coming from a green beans pov this is what i wish i was taught more or learned along the way!
