I’ve never had this happen, but the food order got left out and breakfast sammies are completely thawed and room temp.
They’re not still safe to pull right? There’s no way they’re still safe.

Have to dispose of them.

That’s what I thought, just wanted to make sure! I’m covering at a store that has isolation modified hours, so their order sat out for 4.5 hours

Do you have the ability to take the Internal temperature of a sandwich, a protein box and a panini.
MamaRedCard [OP] 1 points 1y ago
Yep! Only ended up losing 4 boxes of food.

I’ve had this happen twice. The food waste is frustrating. I hope you were able to take your store thermometer and temp the items!

We’ve found that the top boxes are often out of temp but the middle and bottom ones are still frozen. Also, if they are pastries we keep them, bc technically pastries are good for two days after you pull them. So date all the pastries and pull only from that pile the next two days (make sure they are stored in a fridge, if you can, or at least off of the ground…)

I’ve found this helps a bit reduce the waste and salvage what you can.

Also, make sure you adjust the order receipt or mark the food out as damages so your inventory is correct.

At my store, we’re usually able to rescue most, if not all the food left out from the order because our deliveries are always just 45 minutes before we come in. I just pre-pull my partial boxes left from the day before’s pull.
I was able to temp everything and out of 12 boxes, only lost 4. Luckily the store I was watching had PLENTY of the food that was lost.

Our delivery guys consistently show up after close and just leave our food in the lobby overnight.

WHAT. it breaks my heart to throw away one box of food but the whole delivery? also terrible delivery driver!

The delivery guys notoriously HATE all Starbucks stores

they love to do this cute thing where they get mud and salt all over the freshly mopped floor

They also cracked about a dozen of our baseboards flinging pallets into them, they knocked our partner info board as well as a bunch of our artwork clean off the walls, and consistently shatter milk jugs on the floor of our milk fridge.
