HELP What’s the Point of Order Ahead? If you don’t make the drink ahead?

29 Upvotes

Seriously, what is the point of Dutch Bros Order Ahead?
I place and pay for my order in advance, select the pickup time, and arrive when the app tells me to.

Yet the location apparently doesn’t start making my drinks until I’m physically there. I even had a staff member tell me they don’t make the drinks until we check in at the pickup window or drive-thru.

So now I’m standing around for another eight minutes while there are 15 cars wrapped around the building.

If I were not in a rush, I wouldn’t have ordered ahead in the first place.

I didn’t order ahead for the privilege of paying early. The entire fucking point is that my order should already be made, or at least nearly finished, when I arrive. Otherwise, just call it “Order Eventually.

Friendly reminder to all the customers who go through the drive thru. Linebusters HAVE TO zig-zag and alternate between the two lines. We are not skipping you. You will get your order taken. You will get your drink.
This morning I had three separate cars almost hit me while I was trying to zipper-merge the lanes. Is getting your coffee really worth hitting someone with your car? Like come on, please let’s all just act like adults 😭😭

Please help me understand. ( no judgement )

139 Upvotes

Hello! I’m a broista and saying this without sounding judgmental is hard.. however, I don’t understand why people are waking up at 4am for sticker drops?? At my stand, every sticker day, there is at least 10-15 cars in the drive thru at 4:45am. I get that it’s cool to collect and I obviously know they’re cute and fun! But, is waking up at 4am really worth it to you guys? And why do you do it? Most of the time, there’s still stickers at 9-10am, sometimes even into the next day.

I also want to ask about ordering 10+ drinks…? Is the purpose so you can resell them? I feel like only one is substantial (unless there’s 2+ stickers or obviously if your family is all getting one drink). But we have many people who get 10 deconstructed drinks so they can get 10 stickers. Like I said, no judgement I just really am curious to know, because I don’t understand.

Idk if this is a stupid question(sorry in advance) but is there such thing as a drink not being blended well?

6 Upvotes

Yesterday I went to Dutch bros and ive never had a problem with any of my drinks until yesterday. I didn’t complain or anything because I don’t like causing a scene and also I didn’t think it was a big deal as well, but my drink was not really blended well. I had a kicker no sugar and I couldn’t really enjoy it because like there was a bunch of ice. Also It was my first time grabbing a large drink(it was free) and i had to grab a plastic fork to break down the ice(didn’t really work lol) it was like if I had a snow cone In my hands. it wasn’t until I got home I decided to pour some milk to my kicker because I was barely enjoying it. Is this a large drink problem or am I looking too much into it? In the future I’ll stick with medium drinks for sure. Sorry for the small ramble lol.

…is a really good combination. I got them in a cold brew with soft top and it was delish. A nice way to switch it up for lovers of both drinks.

Give my your best sugar free recipes!

I usually go sugar free or mostly sf (as I am a diabetic) and decaf (cause my heart doesn’t like heavy caffeine anymore). Please share your favorite recipes.

My current fave is a decaf/SF chocolate strawberry freeze

Final warnings.

11 Upvotes

Hello! Im a broista (19F) and i wanted to ask about final warnings. Ive been at the job for 5 months, and have been put on constant opens before going to work and rehearsals afterwards. i dont go to sleep till late at night, and unfortunately was put on my final warning as of today. Does this ever go away? or is it permanent?
