Stock lead · Slush · neighbourhood shop
Investigate cup usage that exceeds recorded drinks.
For the stock lead at a slush neighbourhood shop.
Use the checklist ↓Where it goes wrong
When the queue meets your workflow.
At a slush neighbourhood shop, regular customers expect their usual custom drink across changing shifts. A typical order is a strawberry slush with popping boba and a specific flavour. The closing cup count falls faster than recorded drinks would suggest.
As stock lead, own the check below and include the result in the next shift handover. Confirm today's choices rather than relying on a crew member remembering a regular.
The practical fix
A repeatable check for your team.
- 01
Prepare
Record opening cups, deliveries, transfers and closing cups by size.
- 02
Run the check
Compare physical use with approved drinks for the same shift, reviewing voids and remakes separately.
- 03
Confirm and hand over
Document damaged cups, training use and unexplained differences before ordering replacement stock.
Try it with your menu
Rehearse before the next rush.
Rehearse a regular changing one option in their usual order during a shift handover. Use a strawberry slush, change the flavour, and include popping boba on one cup. Apply the checklist as the stock lead and record where the team needs help.
What a successful check looks like
The cup movement balance can be explained by sold drinks plus documented non-sale use.
