Training question (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by satansguitarweeping
Hey y’all, so I’m training on the hot bar rn and am struggling to remember the numbers of pumps and shots. And overall just drinks like the apple crisp macchiato.
Do you think it would annoying my trainer and coworkers if I wrote things down on a sticky note and stuck it to the espresso machine I’m using? Just for a couple days till i feel more comfortable. Thanks :)

This sounds like a good idea! Also don’t feel like you need to know it all right out of training, your coworkers should expect you to not remember! Most of the actual remembering is learned after training!

That makes sense :) it’s just I hate asking for help, lately my trainer gets frustrated with me more easy. I just want to be better for them honestly.

my friend who trained me put the amount of pumps and shots in the bean hopper with a chalk marker

Maybe ask them what they think and if it would annoy them! I don’t think it’s a big deal, but maybe they have a better idea or another way to help you remember them. I’m also training and getting a handle on all the numbers. It will just take some time and practice but you’ll get it :-)

On the partner hub you can search up the espresso shots, hot bar syrups, and cold bar syrups standards in a printable form! I make copies for all my trainees, size it down to like 10-20% and laminate them and you’ll have your own set of official cue cards :) But yea don’t be afraid to use any notes you feel like you need to help you succeed on bar
