Barista
Buckos
11.2022 - 10.2024
- Working at Buckos, I was able to utilize many barista skills I acquired in my time at Starbucks. Although I developed some new ones as well. I learned how to operate a manual espresso machine and grinder to make handcrafted drinks after learning and memorizing menu items with less structured standards. I handle food and drink preparation while simultaneously taking orders and money transactions at dual drive-thru windows. I also was able to further my skills of customer connection by actively participating in meaningful customer engagement often as I operated windows.
Barista/trainer
Starbucks

- Here I was able to further develop my customer service and coworker connections. I operated cash registers when handling cash and card transactions. I brewed espresso and steamed milk while crafting specialty drinks for customers, as well as memorizing the vast menu and standards to relay to customers. I further developed in this job where I was given the opportunity to train new baristas on company processes and product preparation.
