I'm not sure what kind of volume you are. At my store, I have 3 come in at 5 to prep everything. I will have pastries pulled and dated but left in the freezer. An ETL who arrives at 3 will take them out of the freezer. We make all of the containers of mocha that we have. Skinny mocha too. All of the whip. Fill all dairy carafes. We will put pumps in and date CB, CP, P, V, GB, SFP, Frapp bases. Fill all of your tea/iced coffee pitchers. Have extra java chips, vanilla bean, chili mocha and Holiday spice ready too. Fill your fridges with milk. I put some soy, coconut, almond in the BOH fridge if there is room. I save a couple of big boxes for empty milk jugs. If you have a second cannister for wand wipes, have it ready to go. I also pre grind coffee to brew.
