Starbucks Team Leaders

We're trying to do quarterly inventory and we're all so confused haha. What gets counted by eaches and what gets counted by case? The instructions do describe it but not clearly enough for us to agree on what it means lol.
 
Oatmeal ingredients are by case, and I think teas as well.
Food is by each. bev ingredients are by each.
 
You are a saint. What about coffee bullets? Would that be considered a beverage component? And retail coffee?

The way it describes how to count is a little confusing at first, but it is describing how you would count each case. For example, a case of 4 5lb bags of pike would be counted as 4 (so you are counting each one individually, but it's just telling you how to count a full case of 4). For oatmeal ingredients, it should say that a full case should be counted as 125 or whatever, except for agave which is just 1. Teas are probably also counted as just 1 for a full case, but pretty much everything requires you to count each individual item. The only thing is that you are allowed to estimate large quantities (don't count each little bag of oatmeal, just estimate it as a half box and then do the math to figure out how many are in half of a box).
 
Awesome. My team lead is back here having a mini freak out about this so concrete directions will help us stress a lot less. Thank you!

@Asuras, you might want to print the book off of workbench. I gave a copy to my Starbucks tl & they use it on a daily basis.
Thanks @Xanatos.

Yeah I have it printed out. Like I said, I found the spoons and were labeled as serving spoons. So I wasn't sure if they were the ones we use for holding back foam.
 
Last question from me for the day. >.< I received instructions in a mail pack a week or 2 ago about updating our oven menu. I'm sure we don't need to do this. Since we aren't getting any new pastries or sandwiches that require the oven. I didn't recieve any smartcard to insert into the oven.

So is it safe to ignore the update oven menu sheet?
 
I always get the card with the instructions. We didn't update once because we didn't get anything, and it was fine.
 
For the Eggnog, can we make a cansister with Eggnog and Non-Fat milk mixed together ahead of time. Or do we have to measure it out every time someone orders the drink? If we can pre-mix, what is the measurements for it and I'm assuming it is only good for 1 day?

Yes, you are supposed to premix it. 2/3rds eggnog, 1/3rd nonfat. It's good for 48 hours, so only make approximately how much you think you need. I rarely sell it, so I'll do about a half liter of eggnog plus a quarter liter of nonfat for weekdays.
 
I use these Rubbermaid things from the floor. They have measure lines on them, and we can have much less made. I think I made like 3 last year :rolleyes:. Eggnog is gross.
 
Will Steritech freak if we use something from the sales floor? Offically though, are we suppose to use the same container things we use for non-fat/half&half/Sweet Cream?
 
we keep our opened pastries in ziploc bags and plastic food storage containers from the floor, and we've never had an issue with Steritech. as long as it's food-safe and everything is properly labeled and dated and cleaned, I don't see any issue with it. that said, we kept our eggnog premix in the regular pitchers with a gray 'other' lid. we do actually sell quite a bit of eggnog though.
 
I had them left from the granitas. He never said anything, but he may have never seen them.
 
Will the DOB change at all for the set we are doing this week? Or will it remain the same as the one that was done last week (3 cups displaying the 3 main holiday drinks)? Only ask because my art inclined barista is working tonight (I am off) and we have a DM meeting tomorrow. So I thought to jazz up the improvised DOB I did last week. Wanted to make sure it doesn't change before I change it again.

I only have the Siren's eye for the holiday mug display and food displays.

Just feels like I missed something. I only saw two siren'e eye booklets that came with all the signs. But I'm sure there is a third one for the menu since we have the bright red holiday ones.

Yep, it's with all the signing.
 
The beverages sirens eye wasn't with my signing either. You can print it in workbench. DOB changes for sure. I haven't opened my box yet to check it out.
