OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS SO HELPFUL 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Aww thank you so much for the tips and encouragement! <3

This is my AM that works pretty good for me. (it’s lengthy i’m sorry🥹)

4:30 - 5
when entering the store, i scan the conditions for the store walk

turn on ovens

turn off alarm

clock in

set the safe timer to open door 1

check the book to see important info anyone left for us and scan the DCR


when door 1 is ready to open, make sure the tills are parred correctly. then place them in their correct place and lock drop boxes

i like to use receipt paper for temps, milk counts etc. then write it in the book later


jot down how many rolls we have for each coin

record temps and do FOH milk counts

BOH milk counts. i do freezer first then the fridge (we only have one of each)

rotate milks to make sure the freshly delivered ones are in the back.


5 - 5:30
open store and turn on music.

unpack the daily order. (again on that receipt paper) while i’m unpacking it, i’ll scan our inventory to see what items we need. i’ve been doing it long enough that i know how much we need w/o looking at the pars.


5:30 - 6
adjust receipt

record temps and milk count

place order

morning safe count

change bathroom code. we’re a high incident store so we have keypad locks


6- 6:30
sometimes i’ll just assign baristas to a certain position. sometimes i’ll ask where they want to go. i try to rotate people so they’re not in the same position every single day.

send my bar barista on their 10 and cover for them. when my next person comes in I’ll have them slide over to bar while i relieve the other opener.


6:30-7

our fourth barista comes into and the openers had their 10s. we just restock everything and prepare for peak.

if it’s not busy i’ll pull 3 top and prepare a deposit bag and everything


7(or 7:30)-9(or 9:30)

PEAK



after peak it just depends how busy we are. lately it’s been kinda unpredictable. we’re not allowed to send partners on their break during peak.


once peak ends, i send my third barista on their 10. depending on the business, i’ll try to send one opener on their lunch if they have one. i’ll also start tasks at the time. i try to have them do it either before or after their breaks. sometimes we get a midday partner around this time, sometimes not. i just flex the play depending on our situation.


10-whenever i get off

just shift duties. i’ll help make backups. do 18hr pull, pull front register, deal with brinks, all while i’m front/warming.

when the midday shift comes in, i’ll fill them in on any important info like breaks, tasks and what not.

i’m the shift that does tips so on tuesday i’ll do that at the end.



i know it’s a lot of info, but when i only got trained for 2 weeks before i started having to open. hopefully th

sorry about the format idk what’s going on 🫣 i’m on mobile so idk if that’s what’s messing it up
