Stock lead · Soda float · event pop-up
Investigate cup usage that exceeds recorded drinks.
For the stock lead at a soda float event pop-up.
Use the checklist ↓Where it goes wrong
When the queue meets your workflow.
At a soda float event pop-up, a temporary crew handles an uneven queue at an unfamiliar venue. A typical order is a root beer float with extra ice cream and a specific cup size. 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. Check power, connectivity and the paired label printer at the actual stall before opening.
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.

Rehearse before the next rush.
Rehearse a rush with the event device, actual label roll and temporary crew. Use a root beer float, change the cup size, and include extra ice cream 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.
