With the Vertica, the INTENTION was to brew directly into the traveler container... but the funnel sits at an angle and it ends up spilling everywhere. Also, it looks and sounds like a spaceship. π

In my search about the Vertica brewer by Clover, I stumbled upon posts showing the concept workflow for the βSiren Systemβ for cold bev. Is that a thing in Starbucks stores now or a corporate pipe dream?

The Siren System is something I first saw on TikTok. It's something they were testing, but I'm not sure if they're actually implementing it in new stores. I can't /imagine/ how many maintenance issues we're going to have because of all that added tech. The Mastrenas barely hold up through peak!

I was only with the Mastrenas for a year or two. I started with the Verisimos. Did the Mastrenas end up becoming horrible?

Depending on how well they're maintained (which probably isn't that well in most stores) and serviced, they can be great machines or complete burdens. We've named ours Regina and Gretchen because they're mean girls. π

Did you give them name tags?

OMG if I could I absolutely would! They would have pink accents on Wednesdays ππ©·

Does Sbux still have the metric of tickets per half hour in DT?

I'm not sure if it's the same as it was 10 years ago, but we still measure UPH. One of the stores in the area has a record of 114 UPH (and we were scoping them out to try and unionize, but i haven't gotten any info back).

Is UPH the transactions or receipts per hour?

I believe it's units per half hour or hour (when a shift looks up the day's transaction info, it's measured in half hour increments).
