any tips for remembering drinks? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by verycoolcabbage
i started as a barista 2 days ago, but trying to remember everything is really overhwelming to the point where i mess up drinks i’ve already learned

you should’ve been either provided or have at your store a “drink guide” that’s basically a keyring with a bunch of little cards with each drink and instructions/components!

if not then if you ever are stuck with just the ingredients then you can check what the drink contains on POS (tabs on the right hand side have abbreviations for the modifications in each category)

but also don’t sweat it too much since it’s only your second day. as you get more practice on bar it’ll make it way way less overwhelming. i bar all the time and i still have to stop myself sometimes to check or recall a recipe for an uncommon drink.

if it makes u feel better i was put on cafe bar during a morning peak for my second shift ever AND it was the first day of the fall launch. i made roughly ~30 pumpkin spice lattes without espresso

you got this!

It all comes with practice and repetition. Don't push it or it will only make it harder. Take your time. It will come to you.

I tell my trainees once you’ve made a specific drink about 500 times you’ll have it down, so you gotta just put the reps in.
