Where do ypu guys keep your refresher bases?? Out on the counter or in the fridge below cold bar🧐? Our store likes to keep it in the fridge for no good reason and it's such a pain bending down and taking them put every time.

We keep ours in pitchers on a shelf above the counter. It’s a pain bringing them up and down but keeping them in the fridge sounds so much worse, that sucks!!

same at our store. one of our nearby stores keeps their backup pitchers/cubes in the fridge, but the one currently being used goes on the shelf above cold bar

What a waste of fridge space! Our backups are in a cabinet, ones being used are on a shelf by cold bev.

Out on the counter. I can't imagine having to put it back every time with how many damn strawberry acais our store produces omg.

Thanks for all the responses. My team claims to keep them in the fridge because of "flies". Which... wouldn't be a problem if they constantly cleaned like they're supposed to 🙄

backups go under cold bar fridge, but our shelf on top only has room for the three iced teas and two refresher bases so we put the pineapple in the fridge and mark it for a week.

We keep ours in those caddy/urn~ 12L? (I always forget what they’re called) on the counter. Prepped refreshers are in the BOH.

the curtis? damn we only have two total, one for iced coffee and the other we use for strawberry açaí base but i don’t think we’re technically allowed to? unless i was misinformed.
AcceptableJump7088 1 points 10m ago
YES, THE CURTIS! (Thanks 😉) we go through bases so fast so we just use them 🤷🏼‍♀️; idk if it’s allowed either

both. boxes in the fridge and we use tea pitchers that dispense on a shelf above the cold bar area. pretty convenient. our sm even bought these large 2L containers that dispense for strawberry and lemonade because they run out so often in the tiny little tea pitchers

We keep them on the self with the teas but when we close we put them in the fridge.

My store doesn't have counter or shelf space to keep em so we have them in the cold bar fridge too

We keep them on a shelf during the day while we’re working, but the closers put them in the fridge at night to keep the fruit flies off them at night. We do everything we can to keep them away but they just keep popping up 😢
