Step 7
Taking Orders
FRIEND Order 2 drinks off of the most commonly ordered drinks page (step 5) (STUDENT: Create them using the faux containers provided) with recipes if needed
At first, the student is able to look at the ingredients of the drink (you can write these down) while making it.
Once comfortable, continue…
FRIEND: Ask your student to make 3-4 drinks (using the faux containers provided) without written recipes
Since most orders are placed with multiple drinks at the same time. Do not wait until the student is finished with one drink to order the next.. Order all at the start. The student should remember all three orders while creating the drinks.
Follow the above until proficiency is achieved. Then proceed…
Timed Drinks
As timing is very important to the number of drinks made in a night, it is important to tips and bar profitability.
Next, using a stopwatch. (Many smart phones have stop watch capabilities) the FRIEND will time the creation of 2 drinks, Do the timed drinks until the student is able to make the drinks quickly and at ease.
