You got 4 people for a 5k store! I usually got bar 1 and bar 2.

2 on hot bar, 1 on cold bar. We have a cold bar printer too so that makes it easy for the bar partners to stay planted. DTO shakes refreshers and teas and we all help out cold bar if we run out of stickers on hot bar. We just got the hand held ordering tablet so during peak when we have someone outside we still have someone at “DTO” sequencing drinks but they’re also able to help out cold bar a lot more and get iced coffee and cold brew too. Corporate thinks that taking orders outside helps drive times but it’s actually the extra labor we’ve gained from that lol.

Our store is 24/7 has a drive-thru espresso, mobile/delivery espresso, and one cold bar (one person on fraps & one on refreshers). We also have a self-made iced coffee bar for another person. I don’t know what exact numbers are but today we hit $12k from 6am - 12pm today and all of my coworkers came out of our morning shifts wanting to cry. We used handheld every day so that allows the extra person on staging to go and prep cold bar but even then, mobile orders can often lead to like our bars being backed up by like 15 drinks consistently.

We have 2 for each espresso bar and 1 cold bar. Same average $ here.

1😵‍💫 And it’s usually me😀

We generally have 4 people on bar (2 hot 2 cold) and we do about 65k a week. Its kind of hell.

3 or 4. Three is usually sufficient. But there are hella busy days, especially when we get loaded with deliveries and mobile, that we need 4 to keep up.

Bar 1 Drive Bar, Bar 2 Mobile bar, Cold Bar 1 and 2, support bar. Only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday’s.

2 and a support for morning peak, Closing we have 1 on bar for all of the drinks

when i was a partner, last year/early this year at a 10k store, we were so understaffed it was me on solo bar, a solo drive, one warming, and one cs/front. i rlly don't know how we did it every day

Morning crew has two people: one on cafe bar, another on drive thru bar. Night crew however usually has only one person on bar. If there’s an extra person on shift, they’ll be on customer support to help during afternoon/night peaks.

1 like always because we’re understaffed.

We usually just have 2, a drive bar and a cafe/mobile bar. If cold drinks are incredibly insane we may get either DTO or CS to help support on cold drinks but those days are few and far between since we don’t usually have the staffing to have a CS person and DTO is helping support warming/front and the DTW person is picking up the DTO spot.

8-10k store 2 hot bars and SOMETIMES a cold bev

My first store averages 10k daily, they currently have a 6-7 person play for peak. This where everyone has a position and stays at their station

At my (last store) drive thru we had 3 bar people on peak and someone else on cs

It depends really. Sometimes 3-4 but usually 2, with support flexing

You guys get more than 1 bar? Oh

2 bar one at drive and on on upfront and mobile and no customer support cause my manager loves to see us struggle

Three if everyone shows up, but our "cold bar" is usually running Curbside and grabbing milk and ice

With a 7 play we have:
DTR, DTO, Warming, Front, Drive Bar, Cafe Bar, Cold Bar

With an 8 play we get a CS

We've been so understaffed lately we're lucky if bar 2 isn't also front register 😅

usually 3, one person doing cold, one doing drive and one doing cafe! the rest of the time we’re only 2 bc our bar area is kinda small and even having 3 people doing bar at once just gets way too crowded and we’re almost better off with 2.

2 for a weekday. 3 for a weekend. Our bar area is so small that anymore would be chaos

4-5-6
6 is flex

Three, we are a 3k-5k DT stor

I don't work peak but I feel like my store is set up stupid so it couldn't be more than 2-3, maybe maybe 4. I'm also green so I'll probably get some terminology wrong. We have two printers: drive thru, and cafe/mobile/delivery which both have their own hot bar stations. There's two cold bars (refreshers/cold brew/tea, and frapps). At night we share cold bars so I feel like there is always traffic jams. Especially with frapps, we just kind of have to wait until the other person is finished. Refreshers you can kind of work around the other person, except that for some reason we have two shaker lids for the entire store.

I don’t know what our actual numbers are, but I think we’re an average midsized store. Definitely not as big and busy as some I’ve been to but moreso than lots of others. We have one hot bar for drive through and one hot bar for lobby/mobiles, and then one cold bar for both. We have a third espresso bar in the building but rarely use it, maybe for a few weeks in the dead of winter when it’s mostly hot drinks.

1? Maybe 2 if the shift isn't in the back. We are supposed to be planted so we definitely need 2 on reg not like bar could use help by having 1 more there and only 1 on reg

Lol both of these situations are off. 4 people on bar for a 5k a day store is overkill, 2 people on bar for an 11k store is understaffed.

5k a day could do 1 bar and a support who slides to bar plus DTO helping with CB/IC drinks easily.

Edit: 2 would also be fine, if they don't gut needed labor later just for peak to have an extra person.

11k a day needs at least 3 for peak to prevent bottlenecks. Unless it's a store with a wonky layout that makes 3 overcrowded.

Usually two B1 and B2 then a Cold Bar/CS

I also work in a DT Store, we do about 10-11k a day. We usually have 4 on bar during peak, 1 for cafe, mobile, and DT bar, then one who is specifically on cold bar.

either one or two :(

We have two people on bar! We desperately need a cold bar person during peak but we don’t have enough sales to “earn” one. It’s madness at my store.

Well after tonight shift, I know it’s only me on both hot and cold bar and it’s really crazy :) I swear because I learned fast (2 weeks after I started, I can be on hot bar - both 1 and 2, by myself and I’ll reach my 2yrs soon by the coming January), those morning shift always leave me by myself most of the time. That’s what I hate the most about morning at my store. They leave shitty floor for our night shift and they expect us to leave a clean and fully stocked for them the next morning, while they have 10+ ppl on floor and we only have 3-4 (max is 5, as what I experienced) at night :)

We usually have 4 people on bar, one on each. But what you average daily is what we usually average on peak itself

3 people is not enough on bar for a store than averages 10k a day that's crazy. How many partners are on the floor during peak?

2 on espresso and one cold bar barista for mine.

During peak we have one person on drive bar, one person on front bar doing cafe and mobiles, and one person on cold bar

[deleted]

We usually just have 2 (drive thru and walkup/mobile) but in the fall and winter since it's a lot busier we sometimes have a third for cold bar. We usually do anywhere between 50 and 70 half hours during peak, just for reference. And our store is drive thru only, but we also have a walk up window and patio

We have DT bar, mobile bar, and usually cafe bar does cold bar if they are not making cafe drinks. Sometimes the customer support role will help bar if mobile gets slammed. If we are staffed enough. And depending on who is doing support.

i work at a drive through and we usually only have 3 people on bar but that’s usually only on the weekends and only for peak and whenever it’s busy again in the afternoon if we’re lucky

my store is dt too and we have three (drive thru, mobile, and cold bar). the cs person is the shift running around

before most of the old staff got fired, 2 on hot bar and 1 on cold. now its just someone on DT and someone on Cafe, and we make our own cold drinks. sometimes DTR or DTO will make refreshers and teas if needed. we stay that way all day bc there's only 7 of us and we're on limited hours.

Cafe store we do roughly 7-9k a weekday and have 4-5 on bar for peak( 90-110 half hours). Two hot bar, 1 shaker, 1 frapps, 1 cold brew (cold brew also hands out all drinks) Non peak 2-3 and the half hours are 40-50
