If I run out of ice coffee can I use pikes?....or is there anything that I can use it am I sol?

just make sure you tell people that. ice coffee people expect it to taste a certain way.

 

[monkeyman90]

Whenever we don't have a featured roast, Verona is our go-to.
Many regulars love it, too.

i think it helps that's one of the few that come in 5lb bags

 

[monkeyman90]

So, Cartwheel for 25% off frapps. Problem is, it says "try the new Prickly Pear or Mango." Oh Target.

i've finally convinced people that cartwheel signs don't promote signs, but hurt. i get a lot of "wtf is cartwheel" or someone who wanted to spend 20 on frapp's spend only 15.

You guys get the instructions on how much water to use to steep the infusion teas? And how much ice?

 

[Yetive]

There were recipe cards with the Now Brewing.

 

[Asuras]

Recipe to make drinks with the infusion but not the process of steeping the infusion. Like how much water. I know it's steeped for 5 mins. And are good for 24 hours. But not how much water. We tried making a batch and it was really watery.

 

[Troglodyte]

Are we supposed to change the daily offering board on 6/20 for the new frappuccinos or does it stay as cups of kindness?

 

[Yetive]

DOB reverts to s'mores and MMMF.

I will check, but I thought it was there.

I had a meeting with my DM today and he said they will be sending a training kit for the new infusions

 

[Yetive]

Cool. We have attached if the smallwares and infusions. Leaving it all packed up for awhile.

 

[Asuras]

Was able to contact my DM. Infusion Tea Bags steeped for 5 mins like regular tea. Hot water to the 0.90 L line. After 5 mins, use tongs to press bag to get as much out of it. Take whisk and stir for 10 seconds. Pour ice to 1L line. Infusions are good for 24 hours unrefrigerated.

 

[Asuras]

Are the magnetic chalk signs (hanging on wall) and the boards that hold our menu orderable through SAP or the order guide?

 

[Yetive]

SAP. 1 DOB with 3 menu boards is $800 (SB0140). Just the DOB is $200 (SB0013). I can't find where you order only 1 menu board.

 

[redeye58]

use tongs to press bag to get as much out of it.

Surprised at this.
When Teavanna rolled out, they told us never to squeeze the bag dry as it would make the tea 'bitter'.

 

[Yetive]

Correct. Let the tea drip for 10 secs. There isn't tea in the infusions. I believe.

 

[Asuras]

The instructions my DM said to squeeze the Infusion bag. I'll scan the PDF page tomorrow.

 

[Yetive]

Yes. Squeeze the infusions, drip the teas.

 

[redeye58]

Squeeze the infusions, drip the teas.

Got it.

 

[Asuras]

So any of you guys tried making the Infusions yet? Started training my team, we thought it wasn't as sweet compared to the syrup flavored tea we have now. Thought they were good but the flavors are subtle as described. I don't know how people will feel about this. Since Mango and Peach Syrups are being discontinued.

 

[redeye58]

I still get several requests for MBTL or PGTL.
Not a lot but still a fair amount now that we're going into summer tea season.

 

[Yetive]

We're waiting for a bit. We mostly sell unsweet tea, but mango and peach tea lemonades are popular. I think the ability to customize the sweetness (or lack of sweetness) could be popular.

 

[redeye58]

Couple kids have 'discovered' vanilla bean fraps with mango or peach.
I tried the peach & it's not bad at all.

we tried the strawberry green tea

very subtle and water. it'll be like litely sweet chai and skinny mocha. good ideas but ordered like once a week

 

[Spot89]

How do I order smallwares and signs when only the sku# is listed?
Tried SAP and my device.

Thanks!
