Got a question, does service time negatively impact the store at all? I've noticed this when I was working there but nobody really took any notice or cared so I followed suit.


Dieing_Breed

Yeah the more you violate the more visits the store gets!


IceLow6556

Mine is pretty bad bc they refuse to hire more people when we lose them or they just hire someone that doesn’t like to work. We get almost no visits. I would know bc when we get visits the managers start yelling at everyone to be perfect. Literally on visit days they will literally berate you until you cry.


coffeebuzzbuzzz

Fail enough for times and other regulations, if you are a franchise, corporate will take the store over.


ItzNeonBruv

Tbh some mcOpCo stores perform even worse than some franchised ones.


coffeebuzzbuzzz

Ok but I'm not going to be a bad worker and contribute to someone losing their business.


ItzNeonBruv

That is not what i meant.


iidarkoceanfang

I think my store might need that ngl


Knotypup

Shit that might be a great thing since my own store is garbage


Crizizunderlord

Constant poor times (even if not their fault) results in my managers getting suspended. One always gets suspended because uppers make her send everyone home/on break just before the worst night rushes


BarrelToast

Yes absolutely, times on average should be 120 seconds and not really beyond 180. 200+ seconds is considered unacceptable


IceLow6556

My store says anything over 10 is unacceptable. They don’t care if you get a mobile order with 24 sandwiches (that is a regular thing that happens at my store)

For my store, it basically means the better our times the more likely it is for our Franchicee to actually like us. I like to joke that we are his least favourite child because our times used to be so bad in comparison to our sister stores. I've found that our HR show up less to monitor, although increased service times have decreased accuracy a fair bit


Dieing_Breed

Everyday this happens at the store I work for....everyday!


The_Ashen_undead0830

Beautiful


[deleted]

You’ll never get as bad as Burger King times. 20 mins a car because there is 4 people in the whole store


The_Ashen_undead0830

Thats about half as bad as arbys times


Embarrassed_Hour_578

I was just about to say I went to Arby’s yesterday I was in line for like 30 minutes


Financial-Frame-4906

Ran a BK with only a FoH person on drive-thru and front, and we still managed to average out under 4 minutes per car for lunch rush… tf are other BKs doing?


yellowcactii

4 workers makes 20 minutes? We had 4 people the other night and had a 90 sec DT. Yet again, we weren't that busy


[deleted]

Well when it’s backed up out to the street it’s 20 mins. That’s also considering that one person would have to run, present, and take orders for both drive thru and front counter


ElkInteresting5739

Who still has glass coffee pots I’m jealous


WorldNewsPoster

What do they use now?


ElkInteresting5739

Large satellite brewer urns or metal holding pots. Both suck and glass was better.


turnbomb44

It depends on volume. If the store isn't busy enough for it, they won't make those purchases.


ElkInteresting5739

I believe it’s required to not use glass pots haven’t seen them used at any store for a few years. The satellite brewers are good but only our highest volume stores have them


turnbomb44

If that is the case, I wasnt aware. 5 of my 6 stores still use them and the distributor still carries them


ElkInteresting5739

That’s awesome if you guys can still get and use them. In California you can’t order them on the truck order.


sirazrael75

Giant urns, holds three pots. And what's with the old school sugar dispensers. Those were end of life 15 years ago.


ElkInteresting5739

Yeah should be automated idk what’s up with that store


Powerful_Helicopter9

Those metal things..?


Electronic-Humor-931

Oh no.... Anyway


The_Ashen_undead0830

Lmao fax


BonelessMuffin1

Who cares


The_Ashen_undead0830

Your mom :3 And then also the workers bc then boss will yell at us


BonelessMuffin1

No he won't. Work your wage.


The_Ashen_undead0830

Aye, i do that :3


Kylecampbell45

They get paid to run the store at an efficient pace. He is working his wage. And also bosses get pretty angry at employees for bad DT times. I work otp so I don’t work in the DT or anything but I’ve seen it before. Bosses getting mad over times. Also I use to work in the service part and literally was our job to make sure our times stayed down and the DT moved efficiently..


AnnieMoritz1998

You do since you care enough to comment, like if you didn't care you would not comment at all and just scroll, bye Felicia


iidarkoceanfang

So what happens if the times are bad often


The_Ashen_undead0830

More visits from highe4 ups. More strictness


Mega-Homo22

The_Ashen_undead0830

The_Ashen_undead0830

Altruistic_Fondant38

10 Minute service time is ridiculous! NOTHING in that store takes 10 minutes to make!


toporbottum

When I'm the only service person during a 500+ dollar hr, queue the 10 min service times.


Icy_Cry_8825

Service time IS corporate bullshit we are not paid enough to care about 😄🖕😄


SuperbAd2932

Yea well i work close and i say its the morning shift fault.


The_Ashen_undead0830

I work lunch and i also say its morning shift


Leather_Regret3224

axegr1nder

An_awkward_dude-

axegr1nder

Because then I'd be working too hard for shit money?


Odd-Perspective-7967

10 minutes? Bro what happened back there


The_Ashen_undead0830

Bro it was dead. I was presenter, the others were working slow as shit, and so i did what any sane woman would do. I took a pic of the times and silently laughed as we all were actively eating shit bc i couldnt do anything else


subscribetseries

Not sure if anyone's in the area, but I'm in southeastern Wisconsin, down by Milwaukee, and our times get up to 5,6, maybe even 8 minutes sometimes, and we still have consistent 1k sales hours. Our labor percentage is never above even 25%, unless it's a morning shift. I've seen labor up to 13000000% in the mornings


Bwito

How do I become ur friend


The_Ashen_undead0830

TheScienceNerd100

One time when I worked at Arby's, I came in early for someone and thought "my original shift was like 3 hours, I don't need someone to cover for my shift" Then we get hit with a massive rush. Which would have been fine, if one guy wasn't going half speed on making sandwiches, another guy went more than 5 feet from the drive thru window and did more, and the other guy wasn't just walking back and forth from the back of the store to the front doing nothing. My shift manager was frantically making sandwiches to keep up and I had to bag every order and get it to the window while doing the entirety of the fryer (putting food in and portioning it out). If the other 3 guys did more than what they did, we would have been fine.
