From what I saw on Workbench, Cold Foam starts 4/13?? Also It’s just for the cold foam I’m guessing since the pitchers are pretty small.When’s cold foam launching? Are we using the new “blenders” for everything? (Fraps,smoothies)? Or just the cold foam?
Question for everyone, what do syrups do you guys have at your Cold Bar Station currently? Right now I have Coffee Frapp Roast, Coffee Base, Coffee Light Base, Creme Base, Classic Syrup (w/Black Pump), Vanilla & Caramel Syrup (w/ CBS Pump), and Raspberry Syrup (w/ White Pump).
Reading through the Summer PPV. Coffee Light Base and Strawberry Puree (current form) are getting discontinue. PPV calls for Classic and Raspberry to be moved to the espresso bar. Just wanted to see what everyone's layout is like. Since it will seem bare with Classic and Raspberry being moved.
Interest on the Mocha, I just have Mocha on the Espresso Bar and go 1, 2, 2 for Frappuccinos. Are Liquid Sugar Cane Syrup suppose to use the Black Pumps? Been using CBS pumps all this time :SThis is our layout right now:
CBS mocha, Frap roast, coffee base, crème base, light base, liquid cane sugar (black pump), caramel (cbs).
I’ll be adding cascara and vanilla with CBS pump for the Cold Foam launch. We keep classic and raspberry on hot bar as we have liquid cane. Everything else is on hot bar and we do 1,2,3 instead of 2,3,4 pumps for frappuccino recipes.
I figured the cane sugar gets black pumps because the only things we use them for are the teas. The CBS pumps seem to be mainly for the frappuccinos since less syrup is pumped out. We use classic for like the strawberries and crème and matcha Green tea fraps, but we make so little of those we just 1,2,2 it. We’ve always done a lot of mocha, java chip, and double chocolately chip so we have a container that’s exactly like the frap roast pump but with a different gauging collar.Interest on the Mocha, I just have Mocha on the Espresso Bar and go 1, 2, 2 for Frappuccinos.

So I am no going crazy and it is CBS Pump?Espresso bar pumps used for fraps should be 1-2-2 (except for classic, which gets the full 2-3-4 pumps even though it's a black pump). LCS is a CBS pump.

LCS is a CBS pump.
Question everything! There are so many things I've seen done incorrectly (wrong pumps, wrong recipes, wrong shelf lives, etc) because the team had always done it that way and assumed it was correct. It blows my mind when I find something that I assumed was correct and I find out I was doing it wrong for a long, long time.Oh wow I totally learned something new! Thank you! The old TL just slapped a pump on there but I don’t think she ever read the communications.
Same here! I always encourage my team to ask questions and if there’s recipe conflict to consult the books. That happened a lot for cup marking like the very berry hibiscus for example. Everybody wrote a different thing until i looked it up and saw it was totally NOT what I thought it was for like almost a year.Question everything!

I’m not sure if you *need* to have it, but I remember seeing it on the station layout document. The pump is orderable on the guide, but the one I got to replace my older one didn’t come with the container. When we’re not frappuccino heavy it’s a nuisance sometimes.So we should have a CBS mocha? Again, I've only ever had it on the espresso bar and always used 1, 2, 2 pumps for Frappuccinos. Outside of winter holiday times. I rarely run out of mocha to warrant a separate container for the CBS bar.
Thank you, six months on the job and haven’t met a single SbUX rep..... this forum has helped more than all of target corp and sbux combined!The black and white ones are identical in volume. The black ones are only supposed to be used for sugar free syrups (to make it easier to tell which is sugar free so you don't reach for the wrong bottle) and classic. I've never been told why classic gets a black one, though.
Nope! Never, I met the DM of the store I was training at, the TL who trained me said his DM was in constant contact with him...... I was hoping for the same... its been alot of guess work and self learning.You've never met your DM?
