Coffee shop supplies are easiest to control when drinkware, food packaging and sanitation are planned together. Start with the menu, forecast transactions by daypart and build par levels around the busiest morning rather than an average day.
Build the cold drink station
- Clear cold cups in the sizes shown on the menu
- Matching sip-through or straw-slot lids
- Straws, napkins and drink carriers
- Labels or markers for order identification
Cover pastry and mobile orders
Match bags and containers to the pastry case and mobile menu. Test whether packaging protects icing, keeps sandwiches intact and fits comfortably beside a drink in the carrier.
Plan the cleaning shelf
Include food-contact sanitizer, test strips, towels, gloves, can liners, floor care and glass cleaner. Assign a reorder point to every fast-moving item so sanitation stock never becomes a retail emergency.
