I’ve been working as a cashier at a busy fast-food place for about six months, and let me tell you, accuracy is everything. During lunch rush, we can take up to 150 orders an hour — and one wrong key can throw off the entire flow. How do others manage to stay precise under that pressure?
Staying focused during those 150 orders is tough! I find it helps to repeat the order back to the customer for accuracy — what do you think of that approach?
But i totally hear you! I try to break down orders visually; it really helps. Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?

I find keeping a checklist of common orders helps! It reduces mistakes during the rush. Do you think that would work for you?
