How well is your memory? Have you ever had to memorize a list of items before?

Baristas learn very quickly how to memorize a list of products and customer orders while they multi-task through making beverages and cafe items. Interviewers want to hear that you are confident you can take on the task of memorizing a list of things to ensure you will be successful in your job. Often, being positive about taking on the mission is half the battle! Tell the interviewer if you are accustomed to memorizing a list of items. Next, share that you look forward to memorizing lists of items and customer orders as a barista.

"I believe my memory is above the norm. At my last position, I had to memorize the entire menu before I even attended my first serving job. I am happy to do the same here if you have any take-home material for me."
