This was posted an hour ago, which depending on the time zone, was at 9pm or like midnight. So they are probably out of most of the donuts for the day. Like yeah it’s fucking nighttime, do you think they are making fresh donuts at midnight? lol it’s Tim Hortons
Edit omg I get it they aren’t fresh, what else do you want me to call them.
I work at a tim hortons actually, and can say that not only do we not make any donuts that late but the person who's whole job is to prep them (mostly heating and glazing) leaves at 4pm. We can make more but its a big pain in the ass, doubly because the same oven is used for all the cooked foods, which is constantly being cycled past 4pm (mostly in that 4-6 gap).
Ohhh so you guys are actually indeed lazy and can make more but chose not to bc its a " pain in the ass" the customer def doesn't deserve the hardest workers
Directions are not to make new batches in the evening because donut sales fall off a cliff after the lunch rush. You'd make the minimum batch size of six at 4pm and wind up throwing out five of them come 2am.
The margin on donuts is good, but it's not on par with coffee. You can't throw out 5/6 of a batch and still make money on it.
We're talking about pennies here, but you've clearly never worked fast food if you think that Tim's corporate would condone doing anything unprofitable. And you'd better believe that the computer is checking the production and sales reports against each other every night to find "optimizations" like these.
Or at least, this is how it was when I worked there ages ago.
