SFM should just be seasonal for the holidays, just so we can sell skinny peppermint mochas. Should get rid of SKCD, just keep SKV.
While we're at it, can we freaking get rid of the protein powder? That shit is like $10 per bag and we only use it a couple times per month. We just keep the bag unopened until we need to use it because of how many times we end up opening a bag and not using it the whole week.

I've been really digging into the costs lately because of the Starbucks Dashboard. (Still no legit response on my mysupport, but whatever.) Protein powder is such a waste. Lower volume stores are the only ones that can't get decaf espresso, but realistically they're the ones that need it the most - I probably toss almost a half bag of decaf espresso per week now that I'm forced to order the 5lb bags; it saved so much money to just QMOS the 1lb bags. Fruit is pretty crazy expensive. As is mocha. Coffee averages about $8/lb.
Side note: we're getting "sweetened almond milk" soon, so make some room in your fridge! I think they're coming in 12 packs, so they should be smaller than the soy/coconut milk.

About the almond milk? Yeah, check ordering.starbucks.com, it's coming soon, maybe next week. Also, some spiced mocha stuff. And the usual fall things - pumpkin spice, SEA SALT (thank god, I had to throw out my last bottle when it expired in July! I'll be glad to have it back).
Looks like the almond milk comes in 3 weeks. 12 per case, 32oz each (so half the size of soy/co). Spiced mocha comes next week, along with a white mocha pump (and container) to put it in. Holy shit pumpkin spice and anniversary blend are expensive...
EDIT: Then again, I don't remember how expensive white mocha is, so pumpkin spice might not be all that expensive.

Quarts?
Not so bad; should be easier to stock.
For years we had the soy-sippers but we'd get a few who'd ask for almond milk knowing full well we didn't carry it.
The requests got more frequent when we got coconut milk.
Wonder how long before it catches on & what's the 'next' popular milk?

Speaking of costs, I started putting TOC in the fridge because it extends the shelf life to 5 days. Seems to be going well - I haven't sold one yet during my shifts this week lol. I have it set up on the same shelf that I keep whipped cream on because of how tall the pump is (you have to angle it into the fridge, but then it's not difficult to pump). I've heard of some stores that don't even open it until they need it. Anyone else have any tips?
QMOS
I'm pretty sure best practice is to QMOS it as a sample, just like we do when we need to brew a dark roast that doesn't come in a 5lb bag.
