Use AI to Write Better Build Steps
Great build steps are short, crisp, and impossible to mess up. Each step should be one action, in the order it happens. If a new barista could follow it on day one, you nailed it. Aim for 4 to 6 steps max.
Copy this prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini
I am building a recipe card for a coffee shop drink called [Drink Name]. Here is how I want baristas to make it: [describe the drink and your process in plain language]. Please rewrite this as a numbered list of clear, concise build steps written for a barista. Each step should be one action only, in the exact order it happens. Keep each step to one short sentence. No more than 6 steps total. No jargon. Write it so a brand new barista on their first day could follow it without asking questions.
Replace the [brackets] with your drink name and description, then paste the steps directly into the Build Steps field above.
