How would you describe your duties as a barista at Starbucks? (self.starbucksbaristas)

I'm reaching a financial point where I may need to switch jobs and leave Starbucks or get another job on top of Starbucks. But I'm stuck on how to properly articulate our job duties. Any advice?

Handcrafting food and beverages, multitasking while making up to a drink a minute on bar, reaching resolution with upset customers, maintaining a welcoming third place along with the spirits of all the guests, handling cash and the responsibility of register (along with tips if that applies), making the moment right in difficult situations. I’m no expert on resumes or anything, but to me the hardest and most significant part is the resolving of problems that you didn’t even cause (out of some ingredients etc.). Good luck with the new steps in your life!

When I added sbux to my resume I Googled 'Barista resume' and read a few to get an idea of what to put and how to word it.

Start with how Starbucks describes the duties on job postings and modify as you see fit.
