tips on getting better at main bar ?? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by GhostfaceJK
hello i’ve been working at starbucks for two months now. i worked at a different coffee shop for almost a year before but starbucks feels way different.

i worked mostly drive thru at my last job and got really good at making drinks but i feel like i’m not progressing as fast at starbucks?

my biggest problem i think aside from speed is trying to keep track of mobiles. my store is cafe only and when i’m main bar i always accidentally forget about mobile orders and just do the cafe ones. I get super stressed and trying to organize the mobiles and cafe orders by time only makes it worse somehow. i also never know what time it is either which doesn’t help.

I do sequence and i think i’m pretty good when I’m just support bar but i’d really like to get better so i can stop inconveniencing customers and my coworkers. i feel a bit more mortified every time i hear “ghostface_jk is a bit behind on orders”

Any tips are very much appreciated!!!

If you are main bar solo what I end up doing is 1 Cafe 1 mobile and just keep to 1:1 in sequence, now, if you are just getting killed it is ALWAYS beneficial to ask for a support barring certain circumstances (2 person play for example)

god the cafe 1 mobile 1 sequence sounds genius idk why i didn’t think to try that before. will definitely try doing that next time !! tysm

The only problem that miiiight come with that system is the: "I had another drink in that order"
If you haven't pulled the ticket yet, pull it, and go yeah! Right here? Its being made for you

Basically just keep in communication it helps a lot haha

no!! do not get customers used to this. when you do this, they’re gonna think you forgot about their order and therefore they’re gonna end up doing this all the time and think they have to keep track of their drinks and keep reminding their baristas, which gets annoying really quick. you have a a sequencing method. do not let them ruin it. acknowledge them and let them know that it’s coming right up.
