Check the till if you’re unsure!

I had a lockscreen of a cheat sheet with shots and pumps until I memorized it.

For standard hot drinks, smallest sizes get 1 shot (short, tall) and largest (grande, venti) Flat whites use ristretto, and when you hit that R button, remember that you should add an extra shot. (2-2-3-3)

Americanos are stronger so they have extra espresso. They go by 1-2-3-4.

Iced Americanos and Shaken Espressos go by the same shots (2-3-4)

Other iced espresso drinks, like iced lattes, will get an extra shot at a Venti unlike the hot ones. 1-2-3.

Matcha scoops follow 2-3-4 as well! It’s all just practice, you’ll realize it clicks once you’ve done it enough. Ask for some bar practice after training is over and you’ll do great!

What I did, and what works for me is just sit down and write it down over and over again. On your down time between peaks, just make drinks for the practice. Also: never be afraid to ask questions. I still ask “simple” questions all the time and I’ve been at Starbucks for almost two years. You’ll get it eventually, it’s SO MUCH information and it’s okay if you don’t get it right away. Be kind to yourself
