Before anyone says this isn’t impressive, I work at a cafe location. (i.redd.it)

I work in a cafe too, my daily peaks look like this. Lol. I feel you comrade
LadyBlacklidge [OP] 19 points 3y ago
I just transferred to this location and I guess they typically just have a two floor during peak.

I feel stupid, but what is a two floor/three floor peak? I work nights mostly, so peak is a weird phenomenon to me.
JirachiKid 9 points 3y ago
Peak is the time of day when it's busiest, usually morning. X floor refers to how many partners are working. A 3 floor peak is going through peak with only 3 partners on the floor.
CinnamonRollAlKat 3 points 3y ago
Ah I gotcha. We just refer to it as something different! We would call it a 3 man play rather than 3 floor but they both make sense after saying that!

My store hit a 113 the other day. That was with 11 partners on the floor tho.
unsatisfied_plant 9 points 3y ago
What do you even do with 11 people??? The peaks at my store are typically 7 people....
finkenstein_ 3 points 3y ago
DTO, DTR, DT Bar, MOP bar, Cafe bar, cold bar, warming, POS, COS, CS, then literally a person on the other side of handoff plane just organizing mobile orders and connecting with customers.

Same we usually have 10 partners on the floor during peak and have close to 100 transactions per half hour. *laughs then cries in high volume DT*

I work at a cafe store that is unreasonably busy. Most stores in the district pull in close to that, we pull in about 100+ customers every hour/roughly 250-300 drinks

My first store was a cafe and we hit a 53 and I remember feeling so accomplished because I only had one partner with me and a barista in training. Now in a drive thru we hit that and it’s nothing but I have 6 other partners with me lol it really is difficult at a cafe. Good job!

Oh gosh. A 40 def needs reg, bar, cs and support. Owwwww.

Doing 42 transactions in a half hour with 3 people is super impressive...and must have been insanely stressful! WTG team!

Do you know how labor is earned? It would’ve taken 3 consecutive half hour periods of 30+ transactions to earn a fourth partner. If that 26 was a 30 you’d have a fourth. I have worked a cafe and seen 28 39 46 52 35 and only had 3 partners. It’s the reality of scheduling and labor. Now do I think if I had an additional partner on front processing transactions we could have earned that fourth? Totally.

The way I read the post, she did this with 2 partners.
Saoirse_Says 2 points 3y ago
Our store sees similar numbers of customers and I've noticed we've recently downgraded to having three people on the floor.

We did a 51 yesterday morning in my cafe. 3 person floor.
