I remember seeing the return of for-here ware in a now brewing a while ago but at least in most of socal stores aren't using it. We have the box above the freezers labeled "DO NOT OPEN"

My store has been back to using for here stuff for months now
This might be a UK difference but… if someone orders a latte to sit in, do you give them a paper cup? Doesn’t that create an insane amount of waste? We stopped using mugs during 2020 but they were back by 2021. People get really angry if they want to sit in and accidentally get a take out cup
Most people take their coffee to go or use the drive thru in most stores, at least in California. those who do sit often prefer the paper cups stating the life keep the drink warm for longer
Oof, the UK in general is really into green initiatives, having a cafe full of paper cups absolutely wouldn’t fly here - previous times our dishwasher broke and we had to use disposable cups, we got lectures from nearly every customer ;-;
We also encourage it by giving discounts if you bring in a reusable cup instead of just stars & by taking personal cups in the drive thru/mobile order which I don’t think you guys do.
You must save so much time dishwashing and bussing!
We use the mugs but that’s it
The new mastrena 2 espresso machines don't have a space allocated to storing even one full set of the cups, so if this happens its going to be a pain.
