TLDR: What can i do as a transitioning SF > SB TL to best prepare for my new role?
Hello everyone,
I've been lurking around here for a while and finally decided to post. Currently, i'm an SFTL about to transition to a starbucks at the end of the month (our 4 week out meeting with the DM is this thursday), and I'm wondering what the best way to prepare for my incoming role is. We have a starbucks across the street and I spent about 45 minutes there just observing how they made drinks, what was on special, how they used customer loyalty techniques, etc, but I'd love some input from someone who's been working at an actual Tarbucks. This week has been difficult to focus on much though, since I am attending a talent day on Friday and there is a lot of pressure on me from our STL.
My ETL HR pulled me aside the other day and told me he wanted me to incorporate more starbucks into everyday TM life, to the point where everyone would get sick of me talking about it. I agree to an extent, but I also think he just wants me to really "HR" the assignment, which just isn't who I am.
This assignment is sink or swim for my career, as this would most likely be my last one before I'm offered ETL interviews again, and I would appreciate any advice that this forum has to offer. Thanks guys!
