In offices, coffee demand spikes are predictable. Yet most counters are designed for average flow.
Peak times to plan around
- Morning start: **9:30–10:30 AM** - Post-lunch: **2:30–3:30 PM**
Practical queue-reduction strategies
- Split lines: hot beverages vs cold/refreshers
- Pre-batch top sellers in safe holding windows
- Temporarily reduce options during rush
- Add a floater for refills and cleanup
- Redesign counter layout for one-direction movement
Great counters don't feel rushed. They feel engineered.
