Starbucks Team Leaders

So are load normally comes in Monday mornings our order is due Tuesday by 11. Previous TL did his orders on Sundays/Mondays. Will there be a problem if I place an on Friday or Saturday if I know I will need certain things? Just so I don't have to sit there doing the order all in one go.
 
You can do it as early as you want. It doesn't matter much. The only thing I'll say is that I think the receivers have to type in each invoice number, and doing it on different days leads to different invoices. It's a tiny amount of extra work, but still worth mentioning.

Also, if your order is due by Tuesday at 11, you can still scan stuff after 11 and potentially even scan it on Wednesday and still receive it on Monday. I wouldn't recommend this because even though it will show up Monday, the myDevice will still think it's for the order after that, which makes it a little more difficult to scan in the following order. But it's great if you realize you forgot something important.

Even when I order all at once, things are on different invoices sometimes.

That's true. And it's usually just one weird thing on a different invoice. This past week, one of the oatmeal ingredients was on it's own invoice and the rest of the D254 items were on another. I've had it happen with coconut milk too.

You can. I am not able to order more, so I am holding off for a bit. Also, remember to save some for the Halloween buy a frapp, get a cookie free deal. I think it's only if you buy a Halloween frapp though.

I couldn't find them ont he registers today. So I had them ring out as Pumpkin cookies and Birthday Cake Pops.
 
Just making sure I guess the right dcpi for the hot cup sleeves. 260 00 0124
 
Looks like I'm getting my shipment of holiday paper/plastic cups on Wednesday the 26th.

EDIT: and 5lb/1lb coffee bags and a few other food items. It'll be a BIG order.

AND ALL THE MUGS/TUMBLERS HOLY CRAP THAT ORDER IS BIG BEFORE I EVEN DO ANYTHING WTH. I'm going to order like 1.5x the normal amount this week and next week so I have almost nothing the following week except all the promo stuff.

Double edit: Didn't they split this up in previous years? One week with all the paper/plastic stuff, following week with all the mugs/tumblers. This is going to be two pallets without me ordering anything, and I never have a second pallet in an order except this holiday order. Now it'll be 3?

Holy shit already? I know mine is coming :( yeah I could have sworn last year I received paper supplies/LTO ingredients and then the merch.
 
I'm going to email the other stores in my city and warn them. Not only will it change my ordering plans, but it'll change how I schedule things that week.
 
Good idea. Last year I scheduled myself and two other baristas to help me break down my order. I had like 4 pallets.
 
Hehe you might have 5 this year. I'm going to see if I can keep mine at 2. I might schedule myself for like a 3 hour shift the day that it comes so I can bust my ass for a few hours and then go home and rest, then have lots of double coverage the next day so I can finish it off.
 
How do you find out if and when you are getting the shipments of stuff you guys are talking about >.<

For Target, Starbucks, or both? I feel like as long as I get my payroll, I'll be good. The experienced people that I just hired need a lot of work, but other than that I should be ok.

The rest of my store is going to be shit, though. ETL-LOG just got fired (we assume). We had a replacement the next day. Logistics in my store wasn't very good under him anyway, but a new guy won't do well if he's starting at this time of year. Sales floor is having some issues, too, mostly related to lack of payroll. Front end is struggling with redcards. You get the idea..
 
They put my holiday pallets outside last year. 2 pallets of retail stuff. I steal time from LOD to break out and detrash on weekends that I work. I will need to schedule an extra that week.

I've been checking it incessantly lately so I would know when we're getting all this stuff. It just posted today or yesterday. Normally I have an idea when it's coming, but I don't know exactly which week. I wanted to be extra prepared this time and tell as many people as possible.
 
I have lost a few of my team, and am having to train some new people. I have time to get them up and running by Black Friday. I will be fine in Sbux, but LOG struggles already, and SF gets no hours. Amazingly, we have been making Reds lately.
