Welcome to October!

Hey Everyone!
Starting next week (week of Oct 5th) we will be offering Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Maple Spice Lattes, Frosted Pumpkin Muffins, and Caramel Apple Cider. Watch for the banners to be changing too, explaining to our customers what we are offering this month.
When you ring up drinks on your register, remember:
Brew: Pumpkin Spice
SCC: Maple Spice
Coffee/Bakery Combo: Frosted Pumpkin Muffin and 16oz coffee
Cider: Caramel Apple Cider
Recipes will be out at all locations too for you to refer to when making these new drinks!

Thermometer Holders:
All locations that use steaming thermometers are equipped with thermometer holders. THERMOMETERS MUST NEVER GO IN THE DISHWASHER. To clean them, fill the holder (a square-ish container that has a lid with small holes in it) with sanitizer solution (the same you use for sanitizer rags) and place the thermometers in the holes in the lid. Change that water every two hours, just as you should be doing with your steam wand rag water. This will keep the thermometers clean and avoid any dishwasher contact.

Uniforms:
As you all know, you've been issued a Brew Cafes uniform. However, we've been seeing quite a few people leaving parts of this uniform at home! When you work, you MUST be wearing a COMPLETE uniform or you will be asked to punch out and go complete your uniform. This includes:
Brew Tshirt
Jeans
Socks -- seriously... socks, nylons, whatever but your feet must be covered
Close-toed/heeled shoes
Apron
Name Tag -- if you haven't received one yet, let your mentor know. You are responsible for wearing this as part of your uniform.
NO NAIL POLISH
NO DANGLY JEWELRY
Hair must be pulled back

BRAVO!
We've already had 5 people receive BRAVOS this week! And its only the 2nd! These employees are all in the running for either a gift certificate to the Lunda Room or The Annex! Congrats to:
  • Bridget Moore and Lucas Hartwig for receiving awesome comment cards - customers notice your great work and so do we!
  • Lizzie Mitty, Emma Nelson, and Marisa Riley for stepping up in an early morning pickle! Your work was greatly appreciated!
