Just got a job, need some help?

Question

hey i got a job at starbucks and was wondering how was the training and what did you have to do? did u have to go to a customer service class? was it hard for you to remember how to make the drinks in the beginning? thanks for the help

can anyone give me a list of the whole menu for starbucks drinks, will offer 10 points as reward also thanks

Answer 1

Don't worry too much about the training.  You will go through various modules that will help you with everything you need to learn.  You will probably forget almost EVERYTHING and then you will be put out on the floor where you will feel bad for asking a million questions a day (which no one will mind) and then, three weeks later, you will feel a whole lot more confident.  Your training will consist of reading, computer training modules and a class.  Most of this should be completed in about a week (but this will be up to your manager).  

My best tip for remembering the drinks is this for sizes:  short, tall, grande, venti, (iced venti):

Lattes:

Shots:  1 1 2 2 (3)

Syrups: 2 3 4 5 (6)

Americanos:

Shots: 1 2 3 4

For fraps, you should have a sign with numbers for you.  Just remember, everyone started out new.  If someone gives you a hard time, don't sweat it.  Good luck!

P.S. You will be given a book with most of the menu.  You can also ask your store for a menu.

There is a link to their menu board for drinks.  Its 5 pages long.

As far as the training don't worry about it.  Starbucks, along with other "fast food" places have high turn overs.  Their trainings are meant to be easy and efficient.  With in a week or two of working there I'm sure you'll be able to make anything.

it shouldnt be so hard. at first it will be a little tough but as you go on like couple of weeks, you should be fine. good luck with everything and the people above me are right also.
