Suggestions for remembering everything from training modules?(self.starbucksbaristas)

New partner here. I just finished all my online training modules today. Suggestions for remembering everything? There was so much information that I’m not sure if I’ll remember everything when I start training on the floor.

you’re not really expected to know and remember everything, i’m 9 months in and i still ask questions and need reminders! if you really wanna study you could always use quizlet lol or make flash cards.
i know this was posted a while ago but know that there is no pressure to memorize anything from the videos 💀 it’s pretty much impossible to digest all that information all at once and your trainer is gonna start you from scratch like you never watched the videos in the first place, then it’ll become muscle memory :)

If you're having a hard time with drink recipes and are on POS, try to test yourself on what goes in the drink while they customer pays, if there is time. It shows on the right hand side what is in it. Or you can look on the app at home to see whats standard in drinks. It will get easier with practice too. If it's busy and you are on bar take an extra second to double check the drink. Is it hot or iced? Is that green tea a matcha latte or an iced green tea. That second you stop to look again is a lot shorter and less wasteful than having to remake a drink. And once you're on your own don't be afraid to ask questions or for tips from your coworkers if there's stuff you want to improve on. The biggest thing it to remember it's just coffee. Don't let a rude customer bother you past handing out their drink and sharing here so we can all laugh at how ridiculous they are. You got this🥰

It truly is a lot of information. The best thing to do is to make sure to ask questions anytime you're confused. During training, after training, literally anytime you are not sure. It's better to ask and learn from your confusion! It'll all click after a bit (typically 3+ months from my experience training people) but everyone is different!

You are most likely not gonna remember much of it off the modules alone. Once u start actually making drinks, you will get the hang of it.
There was the drink making test thing we had to do with our trainers once we finished bar training (i had to do it with ASM) and I got absolutely all of the drinks wrong. In roughly a month and a half, most drinks were pretty much automatic. I could have done it sooner but at my store I was put at mostly reg for the few weeks.
You got this, once it becomes muscle memory bar gets so much easier.
