Examples of Excellence: Starbucks Queue

Examples of Excellence is a weekly feature showcasing examples of operational excellence.  If you have an example you'd like to share, please email it to us.

This week we bring you a takt queue from Starbucks.  As drinks are ordered they are placed into the marked queue on the table.  Once the queue reaches a certain point it is a signal for another person to being making drinks in order to manage the queue length.
