Sweetener (if any) goes in first; iced coffee to the top line. Then, unless guest says otherwise, just enough cream to turn it a caramel color (not even a 1/2 inch); ice to the top.
After we got fussed at for "too much" cream (& having to pour it out), we simply leave room for the guest.

Anyone have any tips on cup writing or a quick list of most drinks and how to write them? This is the part that's tripping me up the most.. It should be simple and easy to guess how to write each drink but some things are throwing me off. Like if someone orders an Americano, would I write A or CA for caffe americano? and then for lattes do you every write the 'L' for latte or just for example CB for caramel brule latte? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thank you!! This is a HUGE help!!!! I've only had 2 days of sbux training and they were a week apart so I'm trying to learn as much as I can on my own so I don't screw anything up haha!

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Thank you!! This is a HUGE help!!!! I've only had 2 days of sbux training and they were a week apart so I'm trying to learn as much as I can on my own so I don't screw anything up haha!

Glad to help you out. Welcome! Hey @redeye58 you have a new trainee now. It is suggested to read the guide thread too.

 

[BroadwayDreamer]

I have another question... are there two types of vanilla fraps or three? Would caffe vanilla and vanilla be considered the same frap?

 

[BroadwayDreamer]

Sorry for all the questions... but what is the difference between a light frap as opposed to a skinny or nonfat frap?

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Redeye58, I need some help here.

 

[BroadwayDreamer]

Last question, I promise!!! ...for now... haha!
For teas, if they want the tea sweetened do I write CL in the syrup box or do they just come sweetened and I only cross out the CL if they don't want it sweetened?

 

[BroadwayDreamer]

No worries, I don't need answers immediately, just whenever someone can! Thanks again!!!

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

I do know that the syrup boxes need a date on them.

 

[redeye58]

There's a vanilla bean frappucino which is cream-based (no coffee), kinda like a vanilla shake.
Then there's a cafe vanilla frappucino which is just like the van bean but has coffee base added.
Light (frapps) & skinny (lattes) are generally the same: nonfat milk, sugar-free syrups/base, no whip.
Nonfat usually means substituting the regularly used milk with nonfat without use of sugar-free syrups.
On teas or iced coffee, some stores write 'SW' or 'UN' in the syrup box on the cup; some leave it empty unless sweetener is requested/specified using Cl or a flavored syrup letter.
Black, passion & green teas are brewed unsweetened but there's a black tea that's sweetened with cane sugar (purple lidded pitcher).
When writing drink codes, less is better unless the guest is loading up their drink with details.
I've seen some cups written up like a Tolstoy novel.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Thanks red!

My daughters looked like it was written in Klingon.
Dirty four shot iced chai latte with soy milk.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Raktajino (pronounced rack-tə-jeen-oh) was Klingon coffee, served steamed or iced.

 

[BroadwayDreamer]

So with the cafe vanilla frap, is there no vanilla syrup added? Or do you add vanilla syrup even though the vanilla bean doesn't use vanilla syrup?

 

[BroadwayDreamer]

And again, thank you guys so much for all of your help, I greatly appreciate it!!! I just know sometimes people are in such a rush and really just want their drink asap so I'm nervous about being too slow or screwing their drink up or whatever... I just want to get it down as quick as I can!! Haha

 

[redeye58]

So with the cafe vanilla frap, is there no vanilla syrup added? Or do you add vanilla syrup even though the vanilla bean doesn't use vanilla syrup?

The vanilla bean frapp is cream-based so the vanilla powder is used; add coffee base & that's your cafe vanilla frapp. When in doubt, read your recipe cards.

Raktajino (pronounced rack-tə-jeen-oh) was Klingon coffee, served steamed or iced.

I hate working in Starbucks. I've worked 3 shifts over there in my 4 years and I hated every one of them. If it got past the basic stuff on the menu, I needed help.

 

[redeye58]

Yeh, I prefer FA but they lost a couple TMs on the SB side so they've been scheduling me there more & more D:

 

[BroadwayDreamer]

Yeah, it's a bit overwhelming at first but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it! I pretty much have the frapps down except for a few that aren't normal ones haha. Iced teas are simple enough, but the refreshers still trip me up a bit. Now it's just memorizing all the pumps/shots. There are so many exceptions to the numbers that I keep forgetting. Like in a white mocha frap I do one less pump bc it's a bigger pump I guess...? hahaha
