HELP! (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Unlucky_Bag600
Does anyone know the easiest quickest way to make hot chocolate travelers. We've never made them before so not sure how to do this

You can’t make that. It will be a nasty mess and it’s not food safe.

That sounds like a food safety issue. Hot brewed coffee does not have to be kept at the same temp standards as milk.

LMAO! how would y'all even ring that up? It doesn't exist.
CBukowski808 32 points 8m ago
You don’t. Not supposed to make anything in the travelers except coffee.
Unlucky_Bag600 [OP] 26 points 8m ago
Okay okay so this shift has only been a shift for about a month and had never made and she assumed that you would be able to ring it in the same way as a coffee traveler so that's why she accepted it :/ but the lady who ordered it came in and was super nice and understand so we just made her individual hot chocolate and everything worked out I guess 🫡

I’m happy you weren’t yelled at

Idiot. (Whoever it applies to)

You give em a traveller full of hot water and tell them to go buy the Hershey's mix or something. Steamed milk can absolutely not go into a traveller

Make 12 short hot chocolates. You're welcome.

We had a new shift accept it. She didn't know
RosieHarlan 14 points 8m ago
How did she even charge them for it lol. Theres no option to ring a traveler of hot chocolate in the POS. Unless she charged them for cups of hot chocolates.

I hope the shift got the customers name and number bc I’d just hand it off to them to call the customer and explain that those drinks will be made and handed off in cups

We used to make hot chocolate travelers at this little coffee shop I used to work at. We had giant steaming pitchers for hot chocolate and latte travelers. It was hell.

Travelers are for drip coffee only.

no
croissantboyy 1 points 8m ago
we do not. Pls don't do that. the travelers aren't made for it and it would be extremely difficult and time consuming, but to mention there's no way to ring that up

edit: i'm glad you guys weren't yelled at but i hope your shift knows she needs to do a little more training on what we can and cannot accept. (like no ice shaken espressos, no warming things with icing, etc.) bc it could easily turn out very bad next time something gets accepted but is not something we can safely do bc some customers are literally demon spawn

Use a really good laser to heat it up first?
