pos system advice (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by natalie_____
my licensed store is finally getting the starbucks pos system tomorrow! we have been using the same system as the grocery we’re in, so no more writing on cups and just stickers now. does anyone have any advice that pertains to learning the register? or maybe any tricks? it might not be as hard as i think it is but just in case, thank you :D

just know nitro is under the “draft section” in the register. it’s been a while since i was on register but i believe it’s the coffee tab??? or smth similar? it’s all the way on the left. just go through on ur breaks or whenever ur not busy and try to realize where everything is. I would def recommend going through the “other” section on the register cuz it has a lot

oh man i wish we had nitro…so many people just go to another store when they find out we don’t have it, like they aren’t okay with just normal cold brew 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ but thank you!!! i for sure will

first of all, congrats!

second of all, be patient with yourself with it. i worked at a corp store but even after a month i’d sometimes have my brain glitch and be like “wait, i know where this is” while internally my brain is loading.

there’s really no shortcut. just takes practice and memorising but you’ll get there.

yesss i can imagine, even with the simple way we have it right now, just a button for every drink and then add ons, it becomes a lot. i can imagine with just practice and studying i’ll get it. thank you, i really appreciate it!! :D

oh better idea:

in your free time, take a picture of all the screens you have available to you on the system and then go home and memorise them that way.

Get really familiar with the “Other” side tab where you customize ice, foam, and all that. I use that tab on every order and some stuff is pretty hidden. Good luck!

During the rare free time just play with it and try to learn where the big popular drinks/food are. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. If it helps, I used to write down where the big things are on a index card to help me find that stuff a lot more easily

Just a heads up that they update the pos every promo so some things will be in a different spot of the same section. It’s annoying but you get used to it.
