If I was taking a test and this question came up, in order to get the answer correct I’d have to say no. In real life because it’s stupid to not double batch, I do it all the time.

i've never noticed a problem with double batching as long as the orders are the same, I say go for it especially if you're busy

Is it standard, no. Can you and have I, absolutely. Though with 2 ventis, I usually hold the lid down, so it doesn't pop off.

they say not to bc it messes with the proportions but i measure each cup and then pour it in add whatever pumps it would take to do two or however many and put the corresponding scoops of ice per each size. and it always turns out fine as far as taste and consistency and everything. if it’s the same definitely don’t waste time doing each individually. imo

I literally do this every chance I get

If you’re on cold bar, no one gets to tell you what to do.

If it has espresso in it, I just do a bit less base but yes you could still batch them

3 ventis, 4 grandes.. If they're the same why the hell not. Work smarter not harder. Don't forget the dome lid on top to hold your blender lid down.. Nobody wants a mess 😜

If someone asks for a venti Java chip and a venti double chocolaty chip I make two as double chocolaty chip, pour one in a cup and then reblend the other with the pumps of Frap roast. Should I? No. Do I care? Definitely no.

as long as it’s the same drink i always do it, especially if it’s a drive thru drink. wouldn’t waste more time doing each one individually and then get yelled at for the window times.

I usually batch them and if they're all the same base drink. If it's add x-shot I just save wherever size worth in the pitcher, add the shot, blend on 3 to mix it in, and serve.

I never double batch. I don’t wanna give Becky the impression that her 6 Frappuccino’s can be made quickly. One at a time and slow and steady. I don’t get paid for how fast I get a drink out.

It there’s shots I won’t double batch. But if they’re the same drink without weird mods I think it’s fair game

I was told by my trainer that batching caramel Frappuccinos supposedly causes them to develop an alcohol-like taste. Haven’t tried it, but I’m not sure how that could be. You’re dividing the proportions the same way you would if you were making them separately because you use the same amount of ingredients. I don’t batch, but man, it makes no sense not to when we are getting 10-15 Frappuccino orders from regulars every weekend.

I was literally trained to do so and I had no idea we weren't supposed to until I joined this sub

So company answer, absolutely not. You should never batch anything together. I think the only exception are 2 tall fraps bc it equals a venti.

Now, non company answer. Absolutely. Just for some knowledge, 2 ventis and 3 grandes fit in a blender at once. Honestly it depends on who your sm is, who your SSVs are, with how much you can get away. While I don’t recommend it when you’re still a green bean and haven’t had that “aha” moment, if you can and have the people who don’t give af, do what you need too to get drinks out.

corporate answer: no

pov it’s nonstop busy and get hit with 10 fraps: yea

Last summer, at my old store, I stood next to my SM while she was building the Fraps for me to blend and finish and she was absolutely multi-batching. At my current store if it even looks like someone is going to try it they get yelled at about it not being standard.

I had a manager that made us taste test the difference between two venti CRF and a tall CRF as a coaching tool and yes there is a taste difference (slight) but I also same SM double batch during Happy Hour.

technically, no. But common sense? yes, if you get fraps that are the same, double batch them. I do this and so does everyone I work with, including my SM. even if someone ordered a tall caramel frap and a venti caramel frap, I double batch it. as long as the Fraps are the same, it's fine.

Answer: no.

Real answer: YES!
I cool down the espresso in the milk and frap roast so it doesn't decimate the ice, makes a better frap

If corporate is concerned that batching frappacinos messes with their quality, idk why they haven’t spent time coming up with specific batching recipes. It’s just inefficient. But they want every drink to be ✨Hand crafted✨

100% double batch whenever you can

I triple batch sometimes 💀

i double batch at any opportunity i get. if its 2 ventis but one has a shot, i make them both without the shot, then pour the first one, toss the shot in and reblend. same with if i have two fraps but one is creme based. our store is so small behind the bar, and our cold bar is just opposite of DTO in a very narrow walkway, so shuffling around trying to get everything to make fraps can be really frustrating since we’re always all on top of each other, so any chance i get to push through the cold bar drinks i take

if there’s like two caramel fraps and one has an espresso shot i’ll still batch them, pour the standard caramel frap out, then reblend the other one with an espresso shot. if they both have an espresso shot, even better id just normal batch them.

I do it all the time. We have a customer that regularly comes in, and gets two venti caramel ribbon crunch frappuccinos with extra caramel and four add shots in each. And we always double batch it. They can't tell the difference.

DO IT. OFTEN. if Starbucks is expecting us to have drinks come out of our ass in 50 seconds or less, then you should be allowed to batch 3 venti caramel ribbons in one blender(if you use the shaker lid upside down on the top of the blender, it stops it from overflowing)🥰✊🏽

I would think that you would have to still measure in the cups for the correct ratio of shots to base to milk but then yeah in theory it should work.

I do that often 😅

Depends on your SM …

just put one of the dome lids on top of the blender lid so it presses against the plastic cover on the blender so the lid doesn’t fly off and you can p much blend anything

i have someone that ordered two grande fraps with add shots every day and i do batch them, but officially, you’re not supposed to batch any fraps

Yes you can.
